Summary: Macromedia Dreamweaver 4.0 creating web pages
Review: Don't buy this book. It is poorly written. Each chapter has errors in it if you try to follow their step-by-step presentation. The authors, Against the Clock, could not have reviewed the book before publishing it. I've been a Computer Lab Assistant in the Dreamweaver class at a local Community College. This is the book that the instructor is using. The class is almost finished. All the students have disliked the book and found it difficult to understand. It's difficult if you follow the books steps because the steps are wrong. With each chapter I've had to write errata sheets. The CD that comes with the book has deletions and errors. And the book and examples even have lots of typos.

Summary: Choc full of errors
Review: This is a very poorly written book containing numerous conceptual errors as well as inaccuracies, omissions, and typos. I'm amazed that this book in its present form could have made it through a peer review process. The author demonstrates little knowledge of information technology and of the history of standards development (e.g., she states that PNG stands for "Portable Network Group" and that it is a graphics format developed by Macromedia -- both of which are inaccurate). Many of the exercise instructions are difficult to follow, are accompanied by poor quality screen captures, and are inaccurate and poorly written. Data files required to complete some of the exercises are missing from the accompanying CD.If you want a book to help you learn Dreamweaver on your own, look elsewhere. As a classroom textbook, this choice would be disastrous.
