Book Description

September 18, 2003

Ironically, while Web pages have become more flexible and capable over the past few years, Web creation tools have become increasingly more complex. Tom Negrino's Macromedia Contribute 2 for Windows and Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide, however, teaches those who are not Web experts how to build and maintain Web pages with Macromedia Contribute 2, which returns easy Web page editing to the many business and academic users for whom other Web creation tools have become too difficult to use effectively. With Contribute 2, anyone can add content to Web sites, without the possibility of accidentally breaking the site.

Now in its second edition, this visual, task-based reference has been revised to cover all of Contribute's newest features, including all-new Mac OS X compatibility; improved speed and user response; the ability to connect to sites securely; and Flash Paper, a new way to publish any document on the Web (Windows-only). New PayPal Merchant Tools let any small business owner add the ability to accept credit cards on their website with just a few clicks.

With the capable guidance of veteran Visual QuickStart author and Macworld contributing editor, Tom Negrino, you'll soon master how to build Web pages, edit page content, create tables, use Macromedia Dreamweaver templates, work with external documents, manage sites with Dreamweaver, customize Contribute, and more.

Like all Visual QuickStart Guides, this book is broken up into bite-sized tasks to help you solve problems and answer questions quickly. Whether you're a beginner looking to learn Contribute 2 from the ground up or an experienced user who just needs a quick refresher course on the product's newest features, Macromedia Contribute 2 for Windows and Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide is an all-access pass to just the information you need.

More About the Author

Hi. I've been writing about Macs, other computers, and software since dinosaurs ruled the earth. OK, it's actually been since 1987. I began writing for the late MacGuide magazine, and started writing for Macworld shortly thereafter. I was a Contributing Editor at Macworld from 1990 through 2004, when they noticed that I hadn't written anything for them in the past year (I'd been really busy writing books). We parted on good terms, and I still write for them. Over the years, I've also written for most of the other Mac magazines.

I wrote my first solo book in 1994, and wrote my first commercially successful book in 1997, JavaScript for the Web, Visual QuickStart Guide, written with my then girlfriend and now wife, Dori Smith. That book has been in print ever since, though we've revised it many times to match the growth of JavaScript and other Web technologies. As you can see on this page, I've written or co-written many more books, notably on Dreamweaver, Apple's Keynote, and the Microsoft Office programs.

In late 1999, we moved from the Los Angeles area to the Sonoma wine country. It's a better place to live in general and was a fine place to raise our son. Now that he's grown, it's just us and our very excellent cat, Pixel, who always makes an appearance in each book.

4.0 out of 5 stars For the Do It Yourself-er, March 17, 2004

This review is from: Macromedia Contribute 2 for Windows & Macintosh (Paperback)
Contribute 2 is great for the Do It Yourselfer. As a professional web designer, I have clients that want to update the pages themselves for commercial and / or corporate intranet sites. They need a book to guide them. This is the book.

The book provides an easy approach to get up and running with Contribute 2. The visual aspect of the book is definitely a plus, especially for those "non-techie" people and clients you may have.

I did like the fact that the author gets straight to the point and tells you what you want to know, without a lot of "techno-babble" or pontification.

The tips were helpful too!
