Third One's a Charm,
By Apostrophe (Toronto) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Inside Dreamweaver 4 (Inside (New Riders)) (Paperback)
This was the third book about Dreamweaver book I've attempted to adopt as the proverbial reference guide. The other two were a bit interesting but lacked in many areas. This one's it though. I recommend this book for the Dreamweaver proficient as well as the beginner. It will be hard for any other book to beat the clarity of the layout, the timeliness of the illustrations, and the logical steps of how the learning progresses. Much, much better than the Dummies and Bible series.

A great Guide to a Great Application,
By al sparber (stow, oh United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Inside Dreamweaver 4 (Inside (New Riders)) (Paperback)
This is a wonderful Dreamweaver Resource that offers an easy path to harnessing the world's most powerful visual web authoring tool. The book adeptly bridges the gap between the more simplistic Dummies, Quick Start and H.O.T. guides and the all-inclusive Bible series. Kudos to the authors for their concise explanations. This is a keeper.
