| If you are a newbie | Rating:  | | For someone who wants to learn dreamweavermx fast and easy...this is not the book for you. This is just too simplistic. I recommend How to Do Everything with dreamweaverMX. | | Total Votes: 6, Helpful Votes: 4, Date: 2004-04-02 | | | | Just what you need | Rating: | | Dreamweaver is a wonderful program, but there is so much to learn about it, especially with so many new additions to the program. Idiot's guide does their usual - make it easy to learn guide and helps you follow step by step how to use Dreamweaver, how to use it in conjunction to your websites, in simply, easy to follow terms, with plenty of pictures so you can go step by step. You will enjoy using this, but also keep it handy and a constant reference.

I was determined to design my own site and not be seduced by simplistic, pre-packaged templates, but I was intimidated by the possibility of getting buried under too much complex instruction. Macromedia's Dreamweaver and David Karlins Complete Idiot's Guide to Dreamwewaver MX sounded like just the ticket. I was not disappointed. David Karlins writes in an often humorous style that puts him right there with you, anticipating your next question or guiding you deftly around the pitfalls and frustrations. This book is well written and informative. It is obvious that Mr. Karlins has a great deal of experience teaching the subject and loves to teach. A bonus that I hadn't expected was the fast and helpful email responses from the author on those few occasions I did get in a corner. I highly recommend this book, and not just for the beginner. It's just plain fun to read and use. | | Total Votes: 11, Helpful Votes: 11, Date: 2003-09-13 | | | | Do it the easy way... Read this first!!! | Rating: | For the self-taught novice, Dreamweaver MX can be both delightfully user friendly and infuriatingly confusing.
Joining Macromedia's own MX manual, a number of other available MX user guides adorn my workstation shelves.
After a number of weeks trying to sort out the pros and cons of just when and how to use the FRAMES, TABLES AND LAYERS features, I had the good fortune to come upon David Karlins',blessedly clear explanations,in his "...Idiot's Guide...." From my point of view, as a newbie designer, this work's enduring value is that, not only are the fundamentals clearly explained, but insights,tips, cautions and introductions to more advanced capabilities are included. He also presents important introductions to Macromedia's Fireworks and Flash interfaces. Read this first, then your owners manual. | | Total Votes: 15, Helpful Votes: 15, Date: 2003-08-19 | | |
