2.0 out of 5 stars
This book doesn't know who it's audience is, February 13, 2005
This review is from: Dreamweaver MX 2004 Design Projects (Paperback)
This book goes through 4 examples of real webpages and how they might be done. The book is written by four people and that's probably where the issue is.
It sounds like the book is aimed towards beginners, but touches on some advanced topics. It touches a little on CSS, a little on PHP/mysql, a little on design in general, etc It just sounds like the four authors didn't coordinate well.
If you are an advanced user, this book may be good in finding out how to do certain functionalities easier with dreamweaver, but still too much writing to read for that use. You may consider just getting a Dreamweaver reference manual by somebody else in that case.

Overclaims - Underdelivers, October 20, 2004
This review is from: Dreamweaver MX 2004 Design Projects (Paperback)
The publishers promise more than the book delivers. In Project 1 (20% of the book) non-code design issues are dealt with in a summary fashion. CSS code is built directly, without reference to the DW Manage Styles interface. Passing reference is made to DW's Templates. Much is left to your own skill set. The downloadable files degrade poorly in IE6. If you need to expand your DW skills:- Avoid. If you just want to code CSS:- consider.

Underestimated! Unterschätzt!, September 26, 2005
This review is from: Dreamweaver MX 2004 Design Projects (Paperback)
Die schwache Bewertung ist für mich unverständlich und auch einige Kommentare entsprechen nicht den Tatsachen. So werden im 3. Projekt ("Corporate Website...") durchaus beispielsweise CSS wie auch Templates ausführlich eingeführt und kommentiert.
Die Autoren und Autorinnen vermögen es auf dem ihnen zur Verfügung stehenden Raum asugezeichnet ihre Projekte dicht und konzise zu vermitteln und haben mir manche Einsichten vermittelt.
Die einzige Schwierigkeit besteht wohl darin, dass mit dem 'richtigen' Projekt begonnen wird, sollte man noch nicht Experte sein: Starten mit den Kapiteln 3 & 1 würde sicherlich die Motivation mehr fördern als mit den, ich betone, ebenfalls sehr gelungenen, aber anspruchsvolleren Kapiteln 2 & 4.
