This review is from: Master VISUALLY Dreamweaver 8 and Flash 8 (Paperback)

The book presents Dreamweaver and Flash in a way that makes the programs easier to learn than from other books. It becomes a great reference to easily find specific tasks you have forgotten later. Master Visually Books
are teriffic for learning a new program like Photoshop also.

This review is from: Master VISUALLY Dreamweaver 8 and Flash 8 (Paperback)

I learned more from this book than I did from the course I took at an online college. I could have saved the $2,000 and taught myself.
