Teach Yourself Visually Dreamweaver 8 [Posted on 2006-11-03]
I think this book is missing a chapter at the beginning. It starts out nice and step by step and then jumps right into editing and reviewing a web site that they never explained how to make. Between pages 25 and 26 there should be a chapter about developing something to "preview". They shouldn't have "The fast and easy way to learn" if this book is for Dreamweaver users who just need direction on individual issues.

This book is what I wanted as far as instructions on using Dreamweaver 8.

Learn Dreamweaver quickly without the "fluff" [Posted on 2007-02-08]
Teach Yourself VISUALLY Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 offers a little something for all skill levels. You will benefit greatly from the hands-on approach this book has to offer. Janine (the author) starts off by walking you through the basics of starting Dreamweaver and quickly moves right into how the interface is set up. After you get a primer on the interface she explains how the HTML is constructed which is split up across a few of the chapters. Each chapter focuses on a specific point, such as: Image, Links, Formatting, etc. The fact this book focuses on tables is odd for my development, but that doesn't mean it isn't valuable and it certainly is a good idea to understand the basic concepts of building a site.

The book ends off with 3 very important topics. Publishing, Maintaining and Database usage all of which will assist you in keeping your site up to date and your visitors coming back.

Overall I was very pleased with this books content and would recommend it to anyone looking to get started or for a refresher in all that Dreamweaver has to offer.

Great Book [Posted on 2007-09-22]
I learned a lot from this book. I wish I had bought more books instead of waste so much money going to school.

Easy to read, good starting guide [Posted on 2008-06-26]
The best thing about this book is the friendly pictures and easy to read layout. All the charts and how to instructions are in color and go step by step. This is a great guide for someone just starting out to medium Dreamweaver ability. You can create a pretty decent website with this book. If you want to do more with images or other complex things, I would suggest getting a complex guide.
