Summary: Real time saver
Comment: This book could be a real time saver. It is a great resource to learn from and later on, when you start working on some real project,... having it in the drawer makes you want never to shut it again. This book really saved me a lot of trouble and time looking for possible reason why something is not working as it should. And the way how it is written ... Pleasure to read it.

Summary: dreamweaver for dummy
Comment: if u have graphic background but have never touched Dreamweaver, this is a good book for u but u don't have to read words by words. Only go thru the tutorial and u would be fine.
If u don't have graphic background, this is your life saver. Super details like missing manual and easy english. Good for ESL students.
For advance user who know Dreamweaver before, it has some advance techniques or professional tricks on "tips" or u have to read words by words to find it.
don't worry to lose resource files in tutorial. instead of using CD, it uses web download. Save ur home space and access anywhere anytime.

Summary: Not for Beginners
Comment: I would not consider myself new to web design, just behind the times. After having used MS FrontPage 2000 for several years it was time for an upgrade. I chose Dreamweaver and bought this book. It did a good job in the beginning with the basics to help me to understand the user interface as well as learning about CSS. However, the flow of the book later on, just jumps around too much. In my opinion the tutorials should stay on topic and build on what was previously done. Instead the tutuorials don't follow a logical path. My biggest peve is that some of the tutorials DONT WORK!!!!! Due to the fact that there are internal settings in Windows XP that need to be set for the dynamic web pages to work that is beyond what the book tells you, one ends up getting errors while trying to do the tutorials on Dynamic Web Pages that can be very disappointing while your trying to learn a concept. I actually had to go to the Dreamweaver site and watch some free online videos to figure out how to configure my computer to make dynamic pages work.
I would not consider this to be the one and only resource you should have on Dreamweaver but it will get you pointed in the right direction.

Summary: A Great Choice
Comment: The Missing Manual is a great book for beginners wanting to know how to get started with building websites with Dreamweaver 8. The manual is very well structured taking you through key elements and connecting you with their usage in CSS. It's very straight forward, easy to understand, and has great tutorials that gets you working with the software instead of just reading text. In less than 30 days I finished creating my first website for a local company. A 13 page site with navagation bars, links, and images. The Missing Manual was the tool I needed to learn Dreamweaver 8. I highly recommend this manual!
