Summary: How-to Guide for Setting Up A Successful Web Site
Review: New Webmaster's Guide to Dreamweaver 4 is a short (roughly 300pp) tutorial about Dreamweaver. So it's sort of like a "Dreamweaver for Dummies" or "Complete Idiot's Guide to Dreamwweaver" book in that it covers the basics. But rather than the humor that's in those books, New Webmaster's Guide to Dreamweaver supplies all this extra practical advice on actually using Dreamweaver to set up your web site. You read, for example, how you pick and sign up for your domain name and choose an appropriate Internet Service Provider. You read about how to economically develop the content for your site and strategies you can pursue using your web site. At the end of the book, you get good information on publicizing your web site and building traffic.

But this isn't a book for everyone. Not everyone will need the general, webmastering information. For example, this isn't a book for designers (although designers should, I'll guess, know the business part of the web). And it's not a huge reference for power users. The book is really for beginning and intermediate Dreamweaver users who need to know how to set up and administer a web site that doesn't just look good, but does what's supposed to do.
