Rating:  Summary: From zero to "really competent" Review: This is an excellent book for anyone who has never built a website but wants a complete approach to getting one up and running. But this book won't get you up and running with a whiz-bang, full multimedia website quickly. Instead, it will walk you through all the features of Dreamweaver and have you try out each one step-by-step. Flipping around the book helped me to learn the features I wanted to learn.There is a Quickstart section that's supposed to get you up and running fast, but I found this section to be too deep too soon for what I wanted. I needed about 3 weeks of reading and practice before I could build something that was useful (I'm building an Intranet for the company I work at), and I will probably need another 2-3 months with this book before I can make my site do what I want it to do. Nonethelss, I have received a lot of compliments for what I now have. I think that after getting through this book (in the 2-3 months) I will be "really competent". Becomming an expert will take more time. But that's the way it is with any software book. Nobody becomes an programming or website expert quickly from a book. Just practice! There is also a full-featured 30-day trial of Dreamweaver on the CD, a definate plus.

I have just begun to skim the surface of this book, and I have already found tricks to make my web site development easier. I recommend this book to all those who use Dreamweaver and beginners as well. You will not regret this purchase.

Rating:  Summary: Tries to do too much Review: Whereas, this is NOT the book to use to teach you Dreamweaver, it is a good reference book. Joseph Lowery is a recognized expert with Macromedia Products and knows his stuff.
