These visual books are awesome for beginners. If you have never touched a program before and need to learn from scratch then these are the books you need. These books spoon feed the information to you using visual graphics of each window and option you would see on the screen.

If you have used a specific program before and are looking to increase your knowledge you will find this book more like A,B,C's. So unless your brand new, novices and experts will find these books a waste of time. They do not go into specific advance features but do teach new comers how to become novice users.

Excellent book for Beginners. I was a Frontpage user until I bought this book. This book gives good details and picture's on how to use Dreamweaver 4.0. Highly Recommend it !!!!!!

This is an amazing book. A professor suggested that I check it out, and I'm glad I did. I became a Dreamweaver expert without having to attend a class or ask a lot of questions, because everything you could possibly want to know is right in front of you! When I bought the book, I had a good grasp on how to use Microsoft FrontPage but wanted to learn a more sophisticated program. The book details everything I needed to know in order to build a professional site in Dreamweaver and provides picture tutorials for every step. It is the equivalent of taking a Dreamweaver class and watching the instructor go through all the different steps using a projected computer screen, but this is even better because you can go back and re-read things if they don't make sense at first (although that rarely happens). This whole series of books is worth checking out if you need an introduction on how to use a new program.

I was really impressed with the lay-out and full page color pictures as the main learning element for dreamweaver. This breaks down step by step all the things neccessary to begin building your very own webpage, and is perfect for novices.
Although I found this book perfect for someone only starting out using dreamweaver, if you want a more complete, detailed description of html, or other elements inside dreamweaver, don't choose this book. But if you are just starting out, this is a perfect way to learn. Using full page color pictures rather than confusing computer talk is a lot faster. I recommend this book in conjunction with another detailed book once you become an advanced user.
