Customer Reviews:

Highly recommended for all GoLive users [Posted on 2006-03-01]
I have been using GoLive for over six years and was blown away by how much new information I learned from reading this book. Though I consider myself a veteran GoLive user, I found literally dozens of new GoLive capabilities in this book that I can't wait to use.

GoLive is a powerful and advanced Web development program. But because it is so packed with features, it is easy to miss many of the capabilities of the program. This book describes the important, but often overlooked features that you really should know about. These include designing with layers, using the Outline Editor, customizing syntax highlighting, saving commonly used colors, editing Smart Objects, and running site reports, just to name a few. There is also an entire section on using GoLive's CSS editor, which I found absolutely indispensable.

What I like most about the book is that the authors don't just list the features and point out where they are in the program. They explain in detail why you may want to use them and how to incorporate them into your Web design projects. The book is organized by topic, so you can browse through the tips you think would be most helpful to you. Otherwise, the index makes it easy to look up information about features you may not be sure how to use. While this is a "Tips" book, it can definitely serve as a helpful learning reference as well.

I really thought I had mastered GoLive before reading this book. But now that I know so much more about the program, I want to redesign all my websites more efficiently with the new knowledge I have. I can already tell that the time it took me to read this book will save me countless more hours in designing my next websites. I highly recommend it.

Works for beginners, too! [Posted on 2006-08-17]
It's hard to find books on learning GoLive. The native Help files are just fine, but I like having a book next to me. After reading the reviews here, I assumed Tips and Tricks was too advanced and Classroom in a Book would be the one I'd need. However, as a rank novice, I have no experience creating frames, and Classroom barely mentioned them. Lo and behold, Tips and Tricks has three pages of succinct and understandable information. I'm finding myself largely able to put my site together just from using this book. Plus, as someone who likes to learn shortcuts ASAP, I'm digging the helpful little side notes on nearly every page. I'm not affiliated with Adobe in any way, except for being very happy with the CS2 suite, and now thrilled with being able to understand GoLive.

Very fast delivery [Posted on 2007-01-16]
No complaints whatsoever. Delivered surprisingly fast. Product in mint condition. Thumbs up.

One of the Best Books I Own [Posted on 2007-03-18]
Kudos to Adam Pratt and Lynn Grillo for a really great book. The tips format works because it is concise and to the point, telling me what I need to know very quickly and clearly. The book covers everything major and also the little things that make your life much easier while you work. I love this book and keep it next to me when I work.

Shows you how to work with a tool that works very well it you would rather not deal with the code. [Posted on 2007-07-03]
As someone abandoned by the demise of FrontPage, I needed an easy way to work on simple web pages. Since several others I work with use GoLive, I gave it a try. Since it is SO much more powerful that FP, I needed help. This book is a very comprehensive tour of the program, walking you through and familiarizing you with all of its extensive capabilities. The lesson files on the included CD are very good and definitely helpful.
The book doesn't teach you the code (though it often prompts you to look behind the page to see what the program is actually doing), and it doesn't teach you design and layout. It just shows you how to use the program, and it does that very well. Its up to you to create, the book does a very good job of showing you how to use the tool.
