Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Dreamweaver MX 2004: The Missing Manual is worth having on hand as you learn to use Macromedia's Dreamweaver MX 2004, the leading software tool for the creation of websites and other HTML interfaces. Dreamweaver is remarkably capable, able to deal intelligently with everything from fonts and images to JavaScript for client-side data validation and embedded Java applets. In most cases, Dreamweaver will save you time over hand-coding--and yield better-looking pages to boot. The program's learning curve, though, isn't trivial.

David McFarland wrote this book, but the influence of esteemed series editor David Pogue is obvious in the careful coverage of features and frequent touches of humour (books about applications can be dull; the books in Pogue's Missing Manual series consistently manage to avoid this problem while maintaining comprehensiveness). The two men treat Dreamweaver's numerous features (and the even more numerous ways of putting them to use) cleverly, with a combination of procedures and side information that clarifies many oddball situations as well as straightforward conditions. One thing: all the screen shots show the Mac OS implementation of Dreamweaver. The text alone addresses the (few) differences that appear in the Microsoft Windows version. --David Wall, Amazon.com

Topics covered: How to create HTML (XHTML and CSS, strictly speaking) documents using Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004. In addition to the basic stuff (text, images, links and frames), the book shows you how to build forms for data submission and embed Flash movies and Java applets. There's also a lot of helpful emphasis on Dreamweaver's productivity features, including snippet libraries and file-transfer utilities. A special section shows you how to do some server-side work with databases --Simon Priestley, Amazon.com.

- Highly recommended
A valuable publication that covers the subject in great detail - sometimes too much for the experienced user, but wonderful for the novice. Overall, the exercises supplied are very useful except that I found I was unable to use the exercise for dynamic web pages since it is designed for Microsoft's IIS or PWS - neither of which are viable with Windows XP Home edition. No CD supplied with this book but you can easily download the files for the exercises from the publisher's website. There are ample cross-references in the book making it a useful source in your library. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn how to use Dreamweaver MX 2004.
