5.0 out of 5 stars Woohoo!, July 30, 2002

By A Customer

All I can say is "wow". I've been using Dreamweaver for a while now building html pages, but Dreamweaver MX is a little overwhelming. There are different server models and databases to choose from, and so much to learn. This book addresses all of those areas that I was unfamiliar with using a readable style that made me want to read it from cover to cover. It's more than just a reference -- it has a tutorial approach that covers all the topics yet is useful as a teaching guide as well. This book will never make it to my shelf. It will be on my desk where I can refer to it while I work.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you're serious of building Web Sites...., October 4, 2002

By A Customer

I now have four books on Dreamweaver. This is my latest acquisition that I bought the old fashion way, through a bookstore, which gave me time to really preview the numerous books on this top selling software. The reason why I bought this book was because of the additional detail that you don't find in the other books. It's not just a 'what do the buttons do' software book. If you are only interested in building static web pages then another book may do, but if you are wanting to add dynamic pages, where the viewer inputs data into forms, then that's a whole other level of web building that most books don't cover. If your a novice and haven't had schooling in Web and Server applications (ASP,Coldfusion, etc)and database applications, this will help bring you up to speed. I applaud the layout and content that these authors have created. It focuses on building web applications with Dreamweaver MX, not just web pages, and definately fulfills a need.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference for all Web developers, August 7, 2002

By	"jasonbg2002" (Reno, Nevada) - See all my reviews

I never knew there was so much to learn to build a dynamic Web site. This book really does a great job laying out all of the different technologies that are needed. I've been using DW 4, but all of this application server stuff has my head spinning. This book has chapters about each application server that really helped me decide which direction to go. Those chapters alone make the book a worthwhile purchase, but there's also a chapter on database design. I never knew what I was doing wrong before with my databases, but it is clearly spelled out in this book. Also, SQL is clearly explained in a chapter. These are great topics for a Web developer, because it is stuff that I didn't know before, but also stuff that I needed to learn. This is like 8 books in one. Really a great deal. I'm only 1/4 of the way through it! The CSS chapter was also exceptional. All of the techniques I've seen in the book are up-to-date with the latest trends in Web design. The best part of it is that it doesn't read like some dry reference manual. The writing is easy to follow.
