This is an outstanding book for what it was designed to do and the audience it is intended to reach. Simply stated this book is designed to assist a reasonably computer literate person, not necessarily a web expert, started in rapidly developing data driven Web applications using UltraDev. The author clearly and logically teaches the end-user how to use Ultradev by simple step by step hands on instruction. One of this books greatest strengths, like all "Dummies" books is its simplicity in presenting information. This may not appeal to an experienced developer - however, I wouldn't rule this book out if you haven't used UltraDev before. I just finished my first data driven, UltraDev crated web site with the book.

This is a great book for those who are new to ASP programming and for those who are new to Dreamweaver Ultra Dev. The author has done a great job of breaking down the components of this program and creating dynamic web pages. There is a section which explains how to use ultra cart that is very helpful. I would recommend this book to anyone that is considering using UltraDev for web development. Great job!

While the book is indeed "cute" - it doesn't really treat me like an adult. This, sadly, seems to be the trend w/ recent for Dummies books. At one point I enjoyed the series and didn't feel that the other was being condescending... recently I feel that the books are written for children rather than adults.

An example of an *excellent* "for dummies" is TCP/IP For Dummies...
