Summary: Dreamweaver guide great
Comment: Having purchased Dreamweaver and being new to web design it made perfect sense to me to get a guide book to help me use it. The Dreamweaver CS3 for Dummies is very easy to use, well set out, and much more convenient than the electronic help files and tutorials that come with the software. Dreamweaver CS3 for Dummies is a great resource to turn to again and again as you learn more and more each time you go back to it.

Summary: A very helpful transition to Dreamweaver CS3
Comment: As had another reviewer above, I had used an older version of FrontPage years ago before diving into Dreamweaver CS3 recently. I found this book very helpful. The exercises are clear and map well to what the software actually looks like. The author's web site is very helpful as well. What was most satisfying, however, was when I stubbed my toe trying to solve a problem, finding an answer neither in the book nor on the web site. I emailed the author. To my amazement and delight, she emailed back within several days with a clear solution and pointers to the section of her book that covered what I needed. Now *that" is responsiveness.

Summary: Assumes too much
Comment: I'm no dummy but sometimes felt like one reading this book. The name suggests that it is for someone with no experience setting up a website. That's me. But it sometimes assumes more knowlege than I have. There is a difference between ignorance and stupidity. I'm ignorant of many things - but capable of learning. Perhaps more practical examples would have helped. As a beginners book, there were too many gaps that left me confused, too much use of terminology I didn't know -and should not have been expected to know at various points. This isn't, by any means a bad book. Just not for dummies.

Summary: Book for beginners and with errors
Comment: It was my first Dreamweaver book and I have to say that I learn some concepts but I found severals errors in the book.

For example, CSS part is not well explained and you will never know how to include tags inside a container. I read several times and for me It was impossible. I think it is the most important concept in Dreamweaver and it is not well explained.

I also found errors when you try to follow the exercises. The main window is not explained properly and the complex concpets are not explained.

From my point of view, it is a good book to start but there are things that you will reviewed.

Customer Rating:

Summary: good intro to Dreamweaver
Comment: This is an excellent introduction to Dreamweaver CS3 for people who are familiar with web technologies but who have never worked with Dreamweaver. It covers the basics quickly and even goes into a number of best pratices and advanced topics. For example, it covers css positioning and layout as a more modern alternative to using tables. This makes it easier to design for alternate device browsers like cell phones or PDAs. It also has chapters on dynamic, data base driven, web sites.

If you know web technologies, this book can get you up to speed in Dreamweaver CS3 in a few days.
