A very basic introduction that is great for a beginner with no experience.

If you're a complete newbie to DW, this is an hour well spent, although Video2Brain's 13 hour course with David Powers would be my recommendation...

If you have basic knowledge of DW, this isn't for you.

Quick. Good for 1 hour and 16 minutes. Could be better if provided a 5 minutes Features section.
