From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble ReviewStart this book as a Dreamweaver 8 newcomer: 24 hour-long lessons later, you’ll be comfortable with every step of building, managing, and maintaining dynamic web sites.
As in other Sams Teach Yourself books, this one’s carefully organized: each lesson builds on what you’ve already learned, wrapping up with hands-on exercises that give you confidence in your new skills. You’ll start by touring Dreamweaver 8’s interface; then create and edit new pages; define sites; write HTML; add images and multimedia. You’ll deepen your control over page layout with tables; then move into modern web design with CSS.
You’ll build forms, collect data, and use scripts to send and react to it. Finally, you’ll master the tools that make Dreamweaver so valuable to contemporary web developers: everything from Design Notes and site reports to templates and library items. Bill Camarda, from the January 2006 Read Only
