Book Reviews of Dreamweaver 3 Hands-On-Training (2nd Edition)
Book Review: One of the best hands-on-training book ever
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best hands-on-training book that I have ever come across. It is easy to understand and the author has focused attention on the student (who DO NOT KNOW Dreamweaver). One of the things I liked best is the way the author repeatedly reminds you of how to use a particular task or function. Lot of times the author just assumes that the student should know that by now and continues the chapter as if we are experts already. The author has made it simple, interesting and exciting. I finished the book in 8 days. Many times these kind of books which are supposed to be hands-on-training, ends up not so hands-on-training; where we get lost or the author assumes most of the time that we know it all. But here is a book where the author really takes your hand and walks you thru it step by step, reminding you every now and then what you have learned in the previous steps...just in case you forgot. Very well done! If you are like me (very new to web design), this is the book for you. My son gave it to me as a gift. It helped me to kick start my venture in the web design world. Thanks to him.Book Review: The best DW training book I've found to date
Summary: 4 Stars
If you are new to Dreamweaver, or have been struggling with it, this is the best book written to date. Formatted as a learning book, rather than a bible, it takes you through enough information to get you started. There are, however, too many features of DW to print without resorting to a strait reference book so when you finish this, you'll still have plenty to learn. I actually went through this book using Dreamweaver Ultradev 4, so if you don't want to wait for their new version you should be fine. As a PC user, it was slightly annoying looking at screenshots from a macintosh all of the time, but it didn't cause a problem.
Book Review: Buy this book or get the new one DW4 H.O.T. but buy one!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
All I can say is get this book if you ant to learn Dreamweaver 3. The ONLY reason not to buy this book is to wait a bit longer for Dreamweaver 4 H.O.T. by the same authors!!! I have upgraded and can tell you that Macromedia takes the perfection they had in DW3 and takes it another notch higher with DW4 !!! Now, DW3 HOT will teach you basics and intermediate level training. The rest is up to you. The format, layout, organization, lesson plan and examples are brilliant ! Weinman and Green know their stuff! Lynda teaches Macromedia products at her own facility, you can tell she does when you get 20 pages into this book. When I had to learn DW3, I chose this book on high word of mouth recommendation. THANK HEAVENS I DID! This book was pure pleasure from front to back to learn from. I started out alert and awake at 8am. By 11pm I was still at it on page 300 and cruising! It swept me in! I did the whole book, played around a few days then re-did the whole book for fun and reinforcement of the lessons. The book starts light and easy, preps you with a short foundation, then dives right in to using the product. This book will not teach you every web design under the trick, and you should not expect that. It focuses strictly on DW3 skills and proper design principles along the way!!! YES......finally someone did a book the right way from cover to cover!!!Book Review: Excellent step by step instruction
Summary: 4 Stars
I was able to learn Dreamweaver by working through the easy to read sequence of instructions. I also appreciated the technical tips on publishing. The reason I did not give it a five-star rating was because I thought the layout/graphics were a bit dull.Book Review: Great book for beginners like me.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is very well organized. The chapters and tutorials are easy to follow especially with the exercises in the CD. I've no knowledge of Dreamweaver, but after reading this book and going through its tutorials, i've manage to create great web pages with the program.I would definately recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn Dreamweaver the easy way. This is a book for keeps.
