Summary: My Prayers Answered
Comment: I don't write reviews for many of the technical books that I buy because I never feel ABSOLUTELY satified with what I learn from them. Most of them always had me looking for a second or even third book to accompany the first one for what I needed.
I love knowing every nook and cranny of any software that I buy when I am learning it. This book honestly answers my prayers for such an explanation of features and great examples. After reading just the first four chapters I felt I had a better grasp of the power house that dreamweaver can be.
Other books, like I said always were either too cold in the delivery of the material or just made me spend more money on buying another book that I could use as a companion to it. Needless to say all that reading can be frustrating. David puts everything there for you. Every chapter is on average about 20 pages long but you come away from every chapter wanting to jump right into the next.
With highest praise I urge and recommend The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3 w/ CSS, Ajax and PHP.

Summary: Dynamic web design finally makes sense
Comment: I settled on this book after reading all the great reviews, and I'm glad I did! Clear instructions and an accessible style really make this a valuable guide. After years of thinking "I wish I knew how to do that!", I worked through the exercises in this book and within a week and a half I was able to put my first database-driven, content-managed website online. I now have a firmer grasp on CSS and will never again go back to my 1990's web design habits.

Summary: So simple and easy to navigate
Comment: This book is extremely well set out. As a newbie to the design trade I have found other text assume so much.
This publication is based on the assumption of limited knowledge and guide the reader through each step. Bit by bit. But it doesn't stop at basic knowledge, it takes you through to advanced methods and give you more resources to learn more.
It's my bible.

Summary: Good information for all levels low to intermediate developers
Comment: The author makes a good case of reviewing all of the things that come with the new release of Dreamweaver CS3. He goes over a lot of stuff, some of which I might consider too basic (CSS panel, some of the programming options in the first 7 chapters) for my tastes. It is too bad he does not spend more time with Spry, one of the reasons why I bought the book in the first place. In any case, interesting read through and through. Would be very cool if they incorporated other frameworks like YUI, Mockikit, prototype and other popular ones that are coming up.
