and a good reference source for other users. I bought it as an extra book to have on hand while taking a Dreamweaver class that used a book I didn't find too helpful. Add to that the fact that the teacher skipped all over the place and went off on weird tangents, and I never would have learned DW at all if it wasn't for this book's clear explanations (which made clear all the points that the teacher didn't). Other good features are the excellent index, which helps you locate exactly what you want to look up and the many illustrations that help you understand the text. The authors are obviously competent and they express themselves clearly. Their focus is sequential, first explaining the basics of web design, how to implement it, options for presenting and positioning your material, compliance with current standards, and even web-based chapters on less-modern techniques (such as frames.) I was a total beginner when I got it, and I found it helpful. Now that I'm a little bit more competent, I still use it as a reference (it's full of little flags sticking out of the top) and as a refresher.Read full review
This book is a Must Have for all users of Dreamweaver, especially beginners! It has the "hands on" tutorials. I will be beginning an online course soon and this book will have paved the way for me to make learning much easier. I highly recommend this book to others who want to learn Dreamweaver 8 software!

Most of the books I buy for college get turned in at the end of the semester. I bought this book in addition to the one required for my Dreamweaver class, and I'm glad I did. Unlike the required text, it doesn't treat me like a "dummies" book. I can skip around, and learn the things I'm interested in, without going sequentially (after learning the basics). I'll be keeping this book, long after Shelly Cashman has been cashed in.
i would have liked the book better if it started at step one and lead me through (instead of being organized by subjects). as one who is a novice, i didn't know how to begin.
