Dreamweaver 2 for Windows and Macintosh (Visual QuickStart Guides)

Author J. Tarin Towers commences her discussion of Dreamweaver 2 by showing you how to navigate and customize the software's interface. She follows by demonstrating how you can quickly use the software to create basic Web pages.

You build on the basics by learning Dreamweaver's features for creating text, manipulating paragraphs, creating a good layout, working with images, adding links, and using tables and frames. Trickier tasks include creating forms, working with Style Sheets, creating and managing layers, adding and modifying behaviors, and drawing timelines.

Towers also teaches you how to work with libraries and templates, use plug-ins and active content, and set up and manage your site. Throughout Dreamweaver 2 for Windows and Macintosh, you'll get the benefit of large screen shots along with tasks involving clear steps, usage tips and shortcuts, and alternative approaches to using the most common features. --Kathleen Caster

Its nice to have a book to read, when you can't get online to do the free tutorials (like when you our on a business trip in an airplane =)

The book goes through the basics of Dreamweaver. The problem was that they needed to publish the Dreamweaver 3 book sooner because I was stuck buying this version.The book does teach alot of tricks and how to use the tools needed. Pay attention to the javascript behaviors that are included in the Dreamweaver that the book teaches.You can get everything in the book at the Macromedia site though. It's a good book for beginners!


Not as good as the free tutorial...   April 4, 2000
I agree; this book is not nearly as good as the free tutorial available on-line. Save your money.


Minus One Star - Don't waste your time or money!   März 19, 2000
Found the book poorly organized, the examples are terrible, you have to keep flipping back and forth and still author does not teach in any linear way. I found the online book from Macromedia far superior, and would not buy another book by this author.


Good book made obsolete by Dreamweaver 3.0   März 18, 2000
Now that a newer version of Dreamweaver is available, this book has run its course. I look forward to the next edition by this fine author.
