Useful reference tool,

This review is from: Dreamweaver 4 In An Instant (Paperback)
The "in an instant" series of books appear to be geared towards people who know what they want to do with a particular tool but just can't remember how to do it. I really like the style since, as the cover suggests, it's "fast, focused and visual".I would highly recommend this book to anyone. Besides, for the price, it's probably the cheapest Dreamweaver book on the market.

Excellent book, easy to use!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dreamweaver 4 In An Instant (Paperback)
After sorting through a dozen of huge, tedious (and expensive) Dreamweaver texts, I found just what I needed in this one. It explains simply and easily how to accomplish each specific task, including a visual depiction of every command and toolbar. This is a great guide for novice designers & a nice refresher for those who must simultaneously master the subtleties of several different programs. I highly recommend it!

This review is from: Dreamweaver 4 In An Instant (Paperback)
I bought this years ago. It was the very best, easiest to understand, easiest to follow instructions on HOW to Do Things with Dreamweaver. It still holds up, even with the new editions of the program. I wish this publisher was still in business. I have 2 or 3 others of this series. Right to the point. They are they best.
