| Good but not Great | Rating: | | I'm working through the book and I find that it seems to cover the important topics but I find following the text to be difficult. I've seen other instructional books that were much clearer. With this book, I have to read and reread to make sure I understand what the author is saying and with better instructional books I can continue to read without as many stops and starts. | | Total Votes: 0, Helpful Votes: 0, Date: 2003-05-17 | | | | Book is an outstanding way to get started with Ultradev | Rating:  | | I have used this book, and performed the exercises, to learn Dreamweaver Ultradev. I found the book to be extremely helpful--far more so than the Dreamweaver Ultradev documentation which came with the product. IMO, the book is more useful if you already understand some of the concepts related to web development---you don't need to be an expert by any means. I am now able to create web sites, and have a more full appreciation of the tool, because of this book. | | Total Votes: 1, Helpful Votes: 1, Date: 2003-01-02 | | | | Well... love it or hate, it's better than the others. | Rating: | | I found this book to be much better than the other available UltraDev books. As another reviewer said, however, there is just too much to cover, and, if done in a way that is all inclusive, it gets to be too much. I'd like to see UltraDev support PHP, and a book similar to this one be written about PHP/MySQL and UltraDev, but, for now, this will do. If you find this book too easy or too hard, just look at the rest of the available titles - ugh. | | Total Votes: 0, Helpful Votes: 0, Date: 2002-03-11 | | | | Look hard before you buy.... | Rating:  | | I looked at the table of contents and thought "Wow, EXACTLY what I need." Too bad it didn't turn out that way. The problem that all UltraDev books face is that of platforms.
-What OS? PC or Mac (most go the PC route)
-What Server OS? (Too many to list)
-What Appliication language? (Asp/VBScript, Asp/JavaScript, JSP, Cold Fusion? you'll see more ASP than anything else. Ray West and Tom Muck side stepped this issue by including examples of all 4 coding languages, and that pushed thier very good book close to the edge of being tiresome. So the issue is that this book may work for you, but it might not. Take a good long look at this book before you buy it. If it is a good fit for you, then go for it. If not, pass and go to the next one. Until we get UD books on demand, you have to do the leg work or the work arounds to get books that are close to work for you. | | Total Votes: 0, Helpful Votes: 0, Date: 2002-02-27 | | | | Good but! | Rating:  | | The book contains a lot of good Dreamweaver Ulta Dev (DWUD)information, but the author, in my opinion, places too much emphasis on databses, design, SQL, and normalization of tables. If you need a book with a good mix of DWUD, then this book may be for you. If you are looking for a book with examples and example code to go with it, this is not the book for you. | | Total Votes: 0, Helpful Votes: 0, Date: 2002-01-23 | | | | Good but not Great | Rating: | | I'm working through the book and I find that it seems to cover the important topics but I find following the text to be difficult.

With this book, I have to read and reread to make sure I understand what the author is saying and with better instructional books I can continue to read without as many stops and starts. | | Total Votes: 0, Helpful Votes: 0, Date: 2003-05-17 | | | | Book is an outstanding way to get started with Ultradev | Rating: | | I have used this book, and performed the exercises, to learn Dreamweaver Ultradev. I found the book to be extremely helpful--far more so than the Dreamweaver Ultradev documentation which came with the product. IMO, the book is more useful if you already understand some of the concepts related to web development---you don't need to be an expert by any means. I am now able to create web sites, and have a more full appreciation of the tool, because of this book. | | Total Votes: 1, Helpful Votes: 1, Date: 2003-01-02 | | | | Well... love it or hate, it's better than the others. | Rating: | | I found this book to be much better than the other available UltraDev books. As another reviewer said, however, there is just too much to cover, and, if done in a way that is all inclusive, it gets to be too much. I'd like to see UltraDev support PHP, and a book similar to this one be written about PHP/MySQL and UltraDev, but, for now, this will do. If you find this book too easy or too hard, just look at the rest of the available titles - ugh. | | Total Votes: 0, Helpful Votes: 0, Date: 2002-03-11 | | | | Look hard before you buy.... | Rating: | | I looked at the table of contents and thought "Wow, EXACTLY what I need." Too bad it didn't turn out that way. The problem that all UltraDev books face is that of platforms.
-What OS? PC or Mac (most go the PC route)
-What Server OS? (Too many to list)
-What Appliication language? (Asp/VBScript, Asp/JavaScript, JSP, Cold Fusion? you'll see more ASP than anything else. Ray West and Tom Muck side stepped this issue by including examples of all 4 coding languages, and that pushed thier very good book close to the edge of being tiresome. So the issue is that this book may work for you, but it might not. Take a good long look at this book before you buy it. If it is a good fit for you, then go for it. If not, pass and go to the next one. Until we get UD books on demand, you have to do the leg work or the work arounds to get books that are close to work for you. | | Total Votes: 0, Helpful Votes: 0, Date: 2002-02-27 | | | | Good but! | Rating: | | The book contains a lot of good Dreamweaver Ulta Dev (DWUD)information, but the author, in my opinion, places too much emphasis on databses, design, SQL, and normalization of tables. If you need a book with a good mix of DWUD, then this book may be for you. If you are looking for a book with examples and example code to go with it, this is not the book for you. | | Total Votes: 0, Helpful Votes: 0, Date: 2002-01-23 | | | | Good but not Great | Rating: | | I'm working through the book and I find that it seems to cover the important topics but I find following the text to be difficult. I've seen other instructional books that were much clearer.
