More About the Author
I love to explore things. Ever since I was a little boy, I would poke my nose into every corner where it "didn't belong" just to see what I could find. This attitude served me well in later life as I began to explore the limits of the developing field of computer technology.
When I had mastered that and written several books about it, I began to look beyond into other areas where human knowledge was, in my opinion, deficient. This led me to my current explorations of ancient American history and, curiously, right back to where I had started, blending the best aspects of the high-tech world, such as satellite imagery, with the memoirs of historical individuals to see what each could reveal about the other.
When writing my computer books, I have always striven to create "the book I would want to have on my desk" when I was doing whatever the topic was about. And, in fact, I DO actually use my own books as my favorite references; all false modesty aside, after all, they're the best ones I know of on the topics in question. I would never have signed my name to them otherwise.
It is the same with any book I author. If someone else has already done a good job on the topic, I walk away from it; I never have and never will write a book that just recaps what someone else has already done. As when I was a boy, I surrender to my need to explore, and if there is nothing new to explore, I'm just plain not interested.
If there's an unwalked path, however, you can be sure that I will soon set foot upon it and lead you to places you'd never find with any other author.

Mastering Nothing,
By Richard (Glendale, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mastering Dreamweaver 4 and Fireworks 4 (Paperback)
You will not be mastering in anything by reading this book. The book, basically, tell you where to find different funtions in the programs. You could accomplish that by looking around the program for a few days. When it comes to Layers, Frames, CSS, and other advanced topices this book will leave you high and dry. I don't even think that this book deserves the one star that I gave it. I want my money back.

Waste of time and money,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mastering Dreamweaver 4 and Fireworks 4 (Paperback)
This book was an expensive mistake. After fighting my way through the Dreamweaver and Fireworks manuals, I discovered I really needed better help with the programs. These programs are highly rated but require some training or well written "how to" manuals. The manuals accompanying the programs do NOT qualify. This book didn't either. It is poorly organized and not intuitive at ALL. The authors really need to ask Webster the meaning of "user-friendly." I want my money back.

Mastering dreamworks & Fireworks 4,
By Scott Sullivan (Henderson, NV United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mastering Dreamweaver 4 and Fireworks 4 (Paperback)
...I thought I was buying a book that would help me learn these programs, was I ever wrong! Poorly layed out with no logical flow. It doesn't provide the most obvious information needed to even start. For example: Setting margins, cutting images without keeping the whole canvas, proper use of layers. I could go on and on. A total waste of paper. Try Sandee Cohens book it will provide what this garbage did not. ...
