So where can I found the extension? Ex. The shopping cart extension
Rating: - Best DW Book

The authors have effectively shown step by step procedures for some of the easiest to the hardest web coding tasks you can perform with Dreamweaver.

Rating: - Very Disappointing
Being an amateur web developer, I was hoping to learn a new skill. This however was not the book to teach me Dreamweaver.
As other reviewers have mentioned, this book was filled with errors. I can understand some spelling errors or a couple of mistakes, but this was chaulked full of them. The website referenced many times was also not available. It would have been nice to have been able to download some of the samples that were mentioned.
