| Too much garbage | Rating:  | | I found this book to be very time wasting. Very few procedures 'get to the point'. At least 20% of the book is personal comments that have little to do with the subject at hand. The text meanders around a subject constantly without completely explaining how to do whatever the subject is. Almost all the figures in the book are from Mac systems while the text is referencing Windows. Most references to items in pull-down menus are for the Mac, which do not exist in Windows. It can take 10 or more pages to get through a procedure. The 'notes', 'cross references', 'tips', etc., have one going all over the book and never finding anything that completely describes whatever it is one is trying to do. The URLs mentioned in the book are very close to all being non-exitant. The book is not one for those that are at the lower levels of web creating. It is very apparent that is was written by one who is somewhat familier with Adobe GoLive for those that are somewhat familier with GoLive. This book, along with the massively poor operational characteristics of GoLive has forced me to go back to Dreamweaver. | | Total Votes: 5, Helpful Votes: 2, Date: 2003-12-22 | | | | The best book about GoLive there is | Rating: | The GoLive 5 Bible is the best book about GoLive there is.
No matter if you are a beginner or more advanced in webpage building, the GoLive 5 Bible gives you all those explanations that you cannot find in the manual or the Help file for the software, and it does it clearly and understandably with many examples and illustrations and a good companion CD with a searchable PDF of the whole book.
Even though GoLive 6 is out by now, you can still use the GoLive 5 Bible for a good reference for a lot of things. It will still be a good reference for yet a long time. | | Total Votes: 1, Helpful Votes: 1, Date: 2002-08-13 | | | | Amazing | Rating: | | The previous reviewer is full of hot air. This book is great. It covers all aspects of GoLive, from the most basic to the very advanced, in an easy-to-read and easy-to-learn approach. GoLive is an amazing piece of software, and no matter how hard you try, you can NEVER describe ALL of it in one book. However, Deborah Shadovitz's GoLive 5 Bible has a succeeded in addressing all the major points of the software and explaining those minor points which are of use to Web Designers and Developers who use this application in the real world. It beats any other GoLive book I have (and I have them all!). | | Total Votes: 8, Helpful Votes: 8, Date: 2002-01-17 | | | | Poor | Rating: | | Usually Bible software books are pretty complete and extremely informative. However, they dropped the ball on this one. Golive Bible is as helpful as the manual that comes with the software. They both are poorly written with incomplete steps to solve or do things with Golive.

"EDITOR'S CHOICE" ..., we
do a little research. First, we selected several typical questions from the
GoLive mailing list. Then we chose the key words from
the readers' questions, and looked them up in the index
to the book. Now we judge the book on how quickly we get the answer
to the question, how many pages it took us to get a solution
that would solve the readers' questions, and how clearly
we could institute the directions in the actual GoLive
program, on a real web site. Deborah's book got ALL TEN QUESTIONS within 2 pages,
and all implementations were in place within minutes. The other top 5 GoLive books took at least 3 pages of
study to get to the solutions, and, believe it or not, 2 of
the books could not answer the questions at all! We give GoLive Bible by Deborah Shadovitz top ratings, and the Editor's Choice Award for December, 2001 in the Designers Bookshelf. | | Total Votes: 14, Helpful Votes: 13, Date: 2001-12-08 | | | | Too much garbage | Rating: | | I found this book to be very time wasting.
