5.0 out of 5 stars Best way to jump into Dreamweaver, June 2, 2004
I've been using the Dreamweaver Bible series of books for years, all the way back to Dreamweaver 2.0. They are perfect for my needs. I dip into them whenever I want more information about a particular feature.

Although the books say they can be used by someone who is new to Web site design, I think you need a little background before using these books. (I mean, what do the descriptions of XML or JavaScript mean if you don't already know what they are?)

The best features of these books are:

1) Tour of the Dreamweaver user interface. This is handy whether you are moving to a new version of Dreamweaver or have never used it before. You get a good introduction to all the basic features.

2) In-depth discussions of Dreamweaver features. Not only do you get the information on how to use Dreamweaver features, but also very complete discussions of why and when to use them. This is the kind of knowledgeable information you just don't get in a user manual from the manufacturer.

3) Tips and guidelines. Very useful hints on overcoming common problems. For example, a sidebar on overcoming line spacing difficulties gives four different workarounds for adjusting line spacing.

By the way, the author, Joe Lowery, has a reputation for being a great Dreamweaver resource, willing to help with technical problems and a very nice guy. His Web site has lots of links to Dreamweaver sites: http://www.idest.com/dreamweaver/. However, it looks like the site has not been updated in a while, so I hope he is not out of the business.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! That's what I call a Bible!, February 13, 2004
By Arne Kriedemann (Ritterhude (Bremen), Germany, Europe) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This Bible is an excellent example for how to write a book, which is simply the best for the novice up to the experienced professionals. As a Web-Designer and -Publisher, I've read quite a lot of other books about Macromedia software, especially about Dreamweaver, in german and english. In the Dreamweaver MX 2004 Bible You'll find all of the programm's capabilities. HTML-Authoring and coding, designing WebSites, developing Web applications with ASP.NET, JSP, PHP or Macromedia's own ColdFusion: It's all covered in depth without losing the focus.
For a german Webdesigner it's time to learn English (because this book won't be translated: Sad enough...):
If not for this book, why then?
Most excellent, Mr. Lowery: Kotau!

2.0 out of 5 stars Teaches Antiquated Programming Style, November 11, 2004
By Neal Groothuis (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
While this book seems fairly comprehensive in terms of covering Dreamweaver's features, the author still hasn't grasped how to do modern, standards-based web design. He encourages people to use non-semantic markup ("I'm also fond of the <blockquote> tag, which indents text by a browser-defined amount...") and to abuse whiz-bang technologies in ways that make sites less usable and accessible ("Flash Button objects are great for quickly turning out a professional quality navigation system"). If you need a reference for how to accomplish a particular task in Dreamweaver MX 2004, this book may be a good choice, but if you're seeking advice on designing a web page, please look elsewhere.
