Summary: GoLive User Learning DWCS3 CSS
Comment: I highly recommend this book!
I've been a GoLive user since the early days, I think version 2 or 3. I've also owned and upgraded Dreamweaver since version 3. I've attempted to master DW countless times over the years. It is a different program from GoLive. On top of the difference between the two programs, those of us who operate from the right brain have additional challenges when it comes to code.
I've got quite a large collection of Dreamweaver books. This is the first one that has actually gripped me and started to make sense of it all. I love the learning style, not to mention the layout and design is appealing. Lots of white space. This not only helps me stay focused but allows room for notes.
I'm not saying the challenge is over. I'm still facing a challenge with advanced or complex divs. But this book is making sense of it. I particularly like the way concepts are broken down and explained. I also find the insight on learning The Natural Flow of the Document to be helpful.
Greg Rewis and Stephanie Sullivan both have a love and appreciation for GoLive, which I think helps break down the communication barrier than we GoLive users often seem to face with Dreamweaver users. Matter of fact, Stephanie started with GoLive and Greg was one of the founders of it.
I've been in touch with Stephanie by email as I've had a couple of roadblocks I needed to overcome. Stephanie has been very responsive, friendly, and helpful.
I'm still working my way through the book, but I can say already that it is worth the investment for me.

Summary: Great book on CSS
Comment: This book really does a great job explaining how to build websites using CSS and Dreamweaver CS3. I've bought a couple of other books and this one is by far my favorite. The layout of the book provides step-by-step instructions snd includes many "color" screen shots so you can easily see that you are keeping-up with the instructions. I highly recommend this book if you want to learn how to design websites using Dreamweaver CS3. Here's the Table of Contents:
Chapter 1 - Laying the CSS Groundwork
Chapter 2 - Using the Fixed, Centered Starter Pages
Chapter 3 - Migrating a Table-based layout to CSS
Chapter 4 - Using the Liquid CSS Layouts
Chapter 5 - Creating a More Cocmplex Design with Elastic Layouts
Chapter 6 - Building a Gallery Site with CSS and Spry

Summary: A *must have* book
Comment: The new book just arrived in the mail yesterday. I'm not a CSS expert but have played with it some. Couldn't wait to get into the book. I immediately read the first chapter and that alone made the book worth it. Given the credentials of authors like Sullivan and RewisMastering CSS with Dreamweaver CS3 (Voices That Matter) it's a *must have* book. (Sullivan - on Adobe Task Force, Comunity MX partner WebWeavers list mom, in-demand speaker, Rewis - Early user of what became the internet, Macromedia Dreamweaver product manager, Adobe Group Manager, conference/trade show speaker world wide.) Who else knows more about CSS and Dreamweaver than this duo? Book is HIGHLY recommended.
