Guide Review - Book Review: Dreamweaver MX 2004 Hands-On Training
Feb 17, 2004 - If you crack this book at any place, you'll almost certainly be confronted with a list of steps for an exercise. There are also screen shots on nearly every page. This makes it very easy to follow along with your copy of Dreamweaver. The coverage of Web design topics is very complete. One funny thing was the location of "Getting It Online" - it's the last chapter of the book. This was funny to me because most books cover that almost immediately. But the reality is that this really should be last. After all, you create your site in Dreamweaver and make it look the way you want. And it's only once you finish that you need to upload it to a Web site. This book even has a section on getting technical support for Dreamweaver. This book is great for people who like to learn by doing. It provides you with all the step-by-step you need to create a great site in Dreamweaver MX 2004.
