5.0 out of 5 stars Good Stuff without Fluff, June 12, 2001

This review is from: Dreamweaver 4 Virtual Classroom (Paperback)

I am a FrontPage user and just bought the Dreamweaver4, Flash5 and Fireworks4 suite. I spent HOURS pouring over books on DW4 - I don't want a bunch of story-telling in an instructional book - I want the facts, up front, in an intelligent format and this book has it - the accompanying CD is a Realworks Video that covers the topics and is very good as well. My only beef is that the CD covers the beginner intro, you have to go to the website and buy the intermediate and advanced CD ($30 each) for this book and they should all be on the one CD in the book.

This review is from: Dreamweaver 4 Virtual Classroom (Paperback)

I would recommend Mr. Fuller's Dreamwever 4 Virtual Classroom. This book is very easy to follow, especially for those of us who are just starting to use this great software. In this book, Mr. Fuller explains the different components of a webpage with easy- to-follow steps and visual representations. To compliment the book, there is also an interactive cd-rom to follow the book's examples. If you are a visual learner like me, this is the book for you.

This review is from: Dreamweaver 4 Virtual Classroom (Paperback)

Excellent Book! After attending a $2,000.00, 12-week, HTML class, purchasing numerous books, to include; HTML & Dreamweaver 3 VISUALLY, Visual Quickstart Guides, Electrify Your Website in a Weekend, Dreamweaver 3-Hands-On Training, and the books that came with the software program,Dreamweaver 4, I still felt lost! I really wanted to learn how to design a web site, but felt most of these books were either to vague or to technical. I was looking for something to guide me as I learned.

Robert Fuller's, Dreamweaver 4 was the answer! After purchasing the book, I thought, here I go again... lets see where this book will take me. To my amazement, after watching the Virtual CD and following the steps in the book, I finally found a resource that would guide me as I learned. I would recommend this book to ANYONE who needs user-friendly guidance in learning a new application! If the college, where I teach software applications, would implement Dreamweaver into their curriculum, I would HIGHLY recommend this book as a teaching tool!
