Rating: - Dreamweaver MX training book
I have never worked with any web publishing software before. However, this book has made it very easy to learn Dreamweaver MX. It contains a CD with website files to practice all the new content in the book. If you learn by doing, this is the book to buy.
Rating: - This book is definitely HOT!

I look forword to learning about Flash now with my Flash MX 2004 HOT book!

I find the book technically rather than creatively oriented, but then cold ... Read More

I also work in conjunction with teams of people on web sites as the project manager, and in IT rolls, working with numerous programs. I decided to take a look at it the first time waiting for a dance recital to start. I couldn't have bought her a better book.
I have worked in Dreamweaver since version 2 and bought several books for the program, but this book is the best! In fact, it's ... Read More
