Dreamweaver September 16, 2008
Great reference for those who would like to develop more web sites. Although it is not easy to absorb all the details in a short period of time. Give yourself adequate time to learn and absorb all the information while working on your samples. The Internet is now becoming a common media being utilized by universities and educators. Online learning has become more accessible 24/7 in any part of the globe. The lessons delivered through the Internet are more interesting if they are carefully designed and allow student interaction.
 Helps Dreamweaver Live Up To Its Name March 23, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I only rated this book a 4 because although I've read dozens of software books, the only other book on Dreamweaver I'd read was a no-frills intro. Tarin's book delves deep into the hard-core details of this annoyingly complex, but increasingly necessary set of tools. This book is actually fun to read - I liked that. It is also irreverent - I REALLY liked that. The examples are crisp and easy to follow, if you think them through. I especially liked Chapter 10 on converting Excel and Word data to HTML, as Dreamweaver has a way of shrinking them to acceptable file sizes - a pain to sort out on your own. Dreamweaver's complexity can give you nightmares. This book, will let you count sheep instead. Good work Tarin.
 not very clear, sometimes confusing February 27, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Being able to follow directions well is not good enough for this book. This book was recommended to me by teachers, but it is useless and should not be used at all. I don't like that the visuals are old, and it is worse if you are using a MAC because they are mainly for PCs. The instructions are not straight foward - for instance I tried to upload my site images and half way through his instructions I was lost--I coulnd't find the windows he was referring to. I struggled for hours and finally, feeling defeated, I googled what I needed and found a web site that had more straight forward instructions. If I ever wanted to throw your computer or a book out the window, this was the time. Also, he seems to abbreviate his instructions to emcompass all the how to's in short sentences, but it gets too abbreviated that there seems to be steps missing -- he does this through out the book and uses names of windows this way as well. To my opinion this is definitely a waste of money and I regret buying it.
 Companion web site not there September 28, 2005

The companion web site mentioned in the book is not there. When I typed in that URL, I got redirected to Peachpit's advertising site of this book, but no "links", "tools", nor "examples" mentioned in the book at all!
Boring textbook September 25, 2005
0 out of 3 found this review helpful
I had to buy this book for a class. It is an extremely boring read and I struggle to keep myself awake while reading it (as does the rest of the class I am told). It does tell you about Dreamweaver though and I suppose that is its purpose. One thing that I do not like is the way the author is constantly bashing Internet Explorer and other isp's. His personal opinions are a real turn-off and unnecessary.
