Introducing the ultimate Dreamweaver resource! This Gold Edition Bible adds 10 new chapters to cover everything professional Web developers need to develop dynamic, cutting-edge Web sites with Dreamweaver -- including coverage of advanced active databases, customizing and extending the Dreamweaver environment, and e-commerce extensions not available elsewhere. The two CD-ROMs contain a trial version of Dreamweaver 3 along with lots of plug-ins, templates, and extensions.
If your paperback copy of Dreamweaver 3 Bible is dog-eared or you're delving into the more advanced realms of Web site production, this hardcover Gold version might be just the thing for you. It contains all of the material that the "non-Gold" edition has, and it sets a good foundation for beginners and intermediates by clearly explaining the work environment, tools, and features: frames, tables, forms, objects, behaviors, how to integrate Shockwave and Flash, how to work with layers, how to create templates, how to use the Library, and more. The new material in this version shows how to integrate and access databases from within your Dreamweaver documents by using different methods--UltraDev, ColdFusion, Lasso Studio, and Tango. A new chapter introduces the latest frontier in Web design--the wireless platform--and shows how to use the Nokia WML Studio extension for Dreamweaver. Another chapter introduces Andromedia Aria, and shows how to tailor tracking and site analysis. The new 32-page color section not only provides more detailed screen shots for different features that are covered in the text, but also shows off several sites that were created by using Dreamweaver. Whereas the paperback edition came with one CD-ROM that was full of goodies, this Gold version has two--offering trial versions of many of the applications that are referenced in the book; all of the code examples that are used; and a bounty of extensions, including behaviors, objects, commands, and browser profiles. Weighing in at around five pounds, this hefty tome might strain your wrist, but it'll bring you up to speed on the latest in Web production and Dreamweaver. --Angelynn Grant Topics covered: - Thorough instruction on all features of Dreamweaver 3
