5.0 out of 5 stars All you need to master DW CS3, June 27, 2007

By	Eric Covino - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book does what no other book can do; teach you everything you need to know about DW CS3 and how to utilize all of its significant features. Want to learn how to master the css panel to streamline your css processing without having to stare at code all day? check. Want to learn how to incorporate complex javascript behaviors without having to learn how to handcode js? check. Want to learn how to incorporate the holy grain of future web applications, ajax, with simplicity and ease? check.

If you're going to spend money on resources this book is a must have. It's easy to understand, well-laid out, and an easy reference guide. This book is so good and so much in line with dw cs3 that adobe should make it part of their cs package! A must have, no question about it.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Idea generator., June 27, 2007

By	E. C. Fisher (Gambrills, MD USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Not only is this a fantastic reference, it also serves as my idea generator.
I use the book to refine techniques as well as get new ideas on how to better the content I've already created. I'm old fashioned enough to need a manual in my hand while creating with Dreamweaver. The book helps me get the most out of the software.

5.0 out of 5 stars CS3 Bible Surprise, October 8, 2007

By	wellington waters "wellBornSun" (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've had several "graphic bibles" in my career. Most of them have been OK, with only a few disappointments. I don't know if it's the software enhancements or the book itself, but this one delivers much more than I expected. The examples are concise and detailed. If you are new to web design though, you may want to start with some basic books on the subject, but for a designer who is familiar with Dreamweaver, Joe did a great job.
