Product Description:


As a serious Web designer or developer, you'll want to do one thing and one thing only when you lay your hands on the latest version of Dreamweaver: Start tinkering with all its new features. Problem is that's hard to do on someone else's dime. With Dreamweaver MX 2004 Magic, you don't have to! In these pages, Dreamweaver wizards Mossimo Foti, Angela C. Buraglia, and Daniel Short and several other experts draw on their own professional experience to offer 12 real-world projects that let you explore Dreamweaver MX 2004 at your leisure. With a focus on areas that can be troublesome for professional users-whether because they present thorny issues or because they draw on completely new features-each lesson provides need-to-know tips, proven techniques, and best practices. By working through the step-by-step tutorials (whose project files and code you'll find on the accompanying CD), you soon will be finding your way around all of Dreamweaver MX 2004's new features: dynamic cross-browser validation, improved CSS support, built-in graphics editing, and more. In addition to the code listings and exercise files on the CD-ROM, youos that clearly demonstrate step by step all the procedures you need to complete in order to create the projects.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Disappointing
I've read each Dreamweaver Magic book since the first one. I was hoping this version would recapture some of the magic from the dreamweaver 4 book. I was wrong.

There is nothing in this book that is not available in free tutorials at various prominent sites such as macromedia.com; alistapart.com; projectseven.com; and others.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Hands on for all levels - workflow
If "hands on training" via projects is your perferred method of learning this book is sure to please. Excellently documented and written in easy-to-understand language, the beginning Dreamweaver user should feel right at home here. And thanks to the large number of subjects covered, experienced Dreamweaver users should find something here for them as well.

I think it's also worth mentioning that in addition to giving the reader all the how-to information, the book does a great job of demonstrating ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - It gives you something to do
Ok...sure...I'm a big fan of the new Dreamweaver MX 2004 because it's based on Cascading Style Sheets...bravo Macromedia! But if I'm somebody new to Dreamweaver and CSS, how I am I going to wield this mighty power newly given me by Macromedia?? I'm going to buy this book and be tipped off by the best folks in the business...that's what I'm going to do.

Dreamweaver MX 2004 Magic is a great book with great ideas from great people. These are stepping off points--ideas to get you going that should help you ... Read More
