Summary: A Solid Foundation For Beginers!
Review: The lessons are comprehensive. If you are not a beginner I don't think this book would be very helpful to you, as it includes no flashy stuff - just the basics. The book has a few minor mistakes - I'll gladly take the mistakes than wait another 2 months for most of the other DW MX books to be out. The included CD has everyhting you need to complete the lessons problem free.It has taught me how to navigate through Dreamweaver with confidence. I know where mostly everything is, what it does, & how to use it. However, I am still having difficulty outside the perfect world of the pre-designed sites the book uses. That being said, this training method has proven itself to me & I have ordered Training from the Source Flash & Fireworks as well. Since a lot of the content info on this book is still not widely available - I've jotted it down below: Lesson 1 Dreamweavr MX Basics
Lesson 2 Working with Graphics
Lesson 3 Creating Links
Lesson 4 Elements of Page Design (Tables)
Lesson 5 Adding User Interactivity
Lesson 6 Managing Your Site Lesson 7 Accessibility & Testing
Lesson 8 Using Libraries
Lesson 9 Using Templates
Lesson 10 Creating Frames
Lesson 11 Creating Forms
Lesson 12 Editing the Code
Lesson 13 Using Style Sheets
Lesson 14 Using Find & Replace
Lesson 15 Creating Layers
Lesson 16 Animating with Timelines
Lesson 17 Extending Dreamweaver
Appendix A Regular Expressions
Appendix B Macintosh Shortcuts
Appendix C Windows Shortcuts

Summary: Useless
Review: This book is NOTHING more than one, big lesson. If you're even remotely looking for a book that will also serve as a reference manual, this ain't it.

Summary: DreamWeaver MX
Review: Unfortunately, The attached CD has files that won't open as writeable in Dreamweaver MX for Windows (It may be they are for the Mac). You can open them in Windows in View mode, but you have to save them with a new file name. Kind of inconvient???? That said... There is lots and lots of information for a novis Dreamweaver learner like me!

Summary: Great book to start with
Review: Well I knew a little basic things about webpages. Words like rollover button or frames weren't new for me. But I didn't know MX yet. Therefore I have to say it is a good book to learn MX. Although I miss a wider range of tricks and deeper knowledge.
But I have to say it's made for [beginners]. Every single hit on your keyboard is documented. For Windows as well as for Mac...
Buy it, but I think it wont be the last book about MX you'll buy.

Summary: Excellent for Beginners
Review: While I am not a computer novice, I am new to the web, and found this book to be exteremely well written and easy to follow. Compared to books which I have read on other computer topics, such as SQL and VB.Net , this book is a joy. It really got me excited about Dreamweaver; I'm amazed by it's power and simplicity. I guess Microsoft doesn't rule, after all.
