| Overview
Available for both the Mac and Windows, Macromedia's Dreamweaver 8
is a professional web design and development program used by
millions of Internet professionals to build high-quality static and
dynamic database-driven web sites. It offers drag-and-drop
simplicity, streamlined HTML coding tools, and powerful database
integration features. But Dreamweaver 8 is missing one vital
component: a printed manual.
Enter Dreamweaver 8: The Missing Manual, the completely
revised fourth edition of this bestselling book by experienced web
site trainer, Macromedia Certified instructor, and Dreamweaver
Advisory Council member David McFarland. This book enables both
first-time and experienced web designers to create visually
stunning and highly interactive web sites. With crystal-clear writing and much welcome humor, this new
edition offers features such as: Live examples: With McFarland's step-by-step annotated
tutorials, you'll learn how to construct a state-of-the-art
commercial web site, complete with working forms, Cascading Style
Sheets (CSS), and dynamic databases. Tricks of the trade: The book is bursting with undocumented
workarounds and shortcuts for easing the process of building,
maintaining, and updating professional web sites. Design guidance: You'll learn to create virtually every modern
web feature, including forms, animations, cascading menus, and
more--and you'll find out which browsers you need to provide
special coding or do extra testing with.
No matter what your level of expertise is, you'll also learn how
to manage your entire web site-whether you've just launched or if
it's been around for awhile and takes up thousands of pages.
Beginners with no web design experience will appreciate the
step-by-step guide to designing, organizing, building, and
deploying a web site; long-time Dreamweaver users will appreciate
the advanced, real-world techniques for controlling the appearance
of their web pages with CSS. With more than 500 illustrations, a handcrafted index, and the
clarity of thought that has made bestsellers of every Missing
Manual to date, this is the ultimate atlas for the complex and
powerful Dreamweaver 8.

Reader Reviews From Amazon (Ranked by 'Helpfulness') Average Customer Rating: based on 40 reviews. A Great Book To Learn Dreamweaver With, 2009-05-07 Reviewer rating: Purchased this and I learned more in one day, than I did in weeks without it. Well worth it for me. Its nice to be able to follow along with the tutorials. | Great for impatient people, 2008-09-02 Reviewer rating: I like to just jump in. Hate reading instruction manuals, find most of them little better than the cause of a good nights sleep. This book is my first exception!
Sure I have still jumped in but have also worked my way through this book from the beginning and am finding the answers to my problems as I create them. Also finding that the book is interesting enough in itself, that I am avoiding creating problems. A first!
Will buy another of McFarlands books now, on CSS. His style is very readable and easy to follow. | OK book, but not the best for website creation in Dreamweaver, 2008-06-06 Reviewer rating: I bought this book hoping it would be all that I would need to build my sites with cleanly and yet some complexity. I've found that I'm often at the library borrowing many other Dreamweaver 8 titles and finding them much more helpful. I've found finding specific help in this book a bit difficult, and the chapter progression doesn't really make sense. My main background is design and the arts - but I don't think this book is too technical for me... just counter-intuitive in its structure. I much prefer the Sitepoint books so far... even the Dreamweaver for Dummies are at least just as good, and much less expensive. Would not recommend to buy - maybe try it at your library first. | Excellent, excellent, excellent, 2008-01-12 Reviewer rating: The title says it all. This is an must-have resource when learning Dreamweaver and the authors give you tips, shortcuts, as well as explanations for many of these tips and shortcuts which help you seriously cut through the clutter and get to the point, which is how to get your site up and running! I bought it along with Dreamweaver Hands On Training and I think it a great compliment. | Dreamweaver, the missing manual, 2007-12-27 Reviewer rating: For those who find it hard to follow on line help or tutorials, this is the book for you. The Missing Manual series is very instructive and helpful to those who are just beginning and to those who are well on their way to using Dreamweaver. Commands that you may have forgotten are easy to find in this book. I would recommend it. |
