The Simulations folder on the CDROM included with the book contains some broken links, probably due to a production problem and it is my understanding that this will soon be corrected.

This book is one of the most comprehensive books for Dreamweaver 8 that I have found so far and I have looked at many of them. I am under a tight schedule for several new websites, Dreamweaver 8 is completely new to me and I am not at all worried thanks to this book and its very accomplished author! My thanks to Joe Lowery. ...now, I guess I need another copy. This thing is too big to carry between work and home!!

An encyclopedia of helpful information but, this will not be helpful to a novice trying to learn the program for the first time.

For that get Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 Visual Quickstart Guide (Negrino and Smith).

this is a good book to get a great background on DW8 and understand creating websites. If you don't have any background in HTML or webpages, the size of the book may overwhelm you but I found it very useful to get a comprehensive understanding of DW. It helped my to get concepts correct. The examples were broken on my CD but after a little playing around, I got them to work.

The areas I needed to refer to were in this book. The book has a lot of words that I feel could be omitted without hurting the content or conveying the information. I would give the book a 5 star rating if it has a lot less words.

I own the photoshop 7, Dreamweaver 8, Flash 8, and a few others from this series. It may be too in-depth for some novices, but if you really want to learn a lot about the product and are willing to take the time to read it, they do very well.

The sample projects give some good hands-on experience, and a companion CD is always nice.

I teach Dreamweaver 8--my first year to do this, I found it difficult to understand the text we use at school. This book was recommended to my by our school tech, and am using it to study and keep ahead of my students. Very well written, understandable, and easy to follow.

I ordered this book over a month ago and it was never shipped. I emailed the seller and they never responded. DON'T BUY FROM THIS SELLER.

i think this book and a handful of video tutorials can really help a person design a website. with only the book for help, one might get lost. i used this book along with youtube video walkthroughs to make my own website. however i think flash is probably a better program to know these days for web development. you can certainly end up with some sort of webpage with this though.
