Overview

Weave the Web of your dreams with cool cutting-edge tools and sophisticated cross-browser support that are all a part of the newest Web design tool on the market today: Macromedia's Dreamweaver. From the ease of Dreamweaver's drag-and-drop, what-you-see interface to advanced advice on multimedia and online interactivity, you can find all the tips and tricks you'll ever need packed inside the pages of Dreamweaver For Dummies.

If you're an experienced Web designer, Dreamweaver For Dummies author Janine Warner promises that you'll love the power and sophistication of Dreamweaver's HTML editor. And if you're new to Web design, you'll be impressed with its friendly interface and ease of use, whether you're creating basic Web pages or are using more complex Cascading Style Sheets and Dynamic HTML to make your Web site sing and dance (without crashing your visitors' browsers).

Not sure about making the change to Dreamweaver? A 30-day trial version of the software is included on the bonus CD-ROM (so you can try it before you buy it), along with the latest versions of Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer, graphics programs like Photoshop and Illustrator, HTML converters and editors, and the Shockwave plug-in to let you view Director and Flash files online.

Dreamweaver is a do-everything web design and management tool that runs on both Macs and Windows. The difficult part for some people to understand is that Dreamweaver does everything from simple HTML to style sheets, layers, and communicating with Java. Once users discover that Dreamweaver makes a lot of this confusing technology easier, they become converts. Both of these titles are good introductions to Dreamweaver, but the concise explanation and visual layout of Peachpit's is easier to understand. On the other hand, IDG's includes a 30-day free use copy of the program. If you can afford it, get both.
