Customer Reviews

Good Instructional Book
Yes, it gets five stars (as will the other Hands on Training book I have read - Flash).

This book will take the total novice through to the point where they can confidently build a decent website using Dreamweaver. The books is slow, which may be tedious for the boffins (not that they are the target audience!) but is appropriate for most readers.

All to often, you will purchase a computing book and it will disappoint - usually too complex or just plain boring. This book is an easy read - backed up by decent resources/training material on the CD (which is included).

Highly Recommended.

hands on dreamweaver mx
I thought this book was excellent, it is very well written and the layout is superb, all the files you need on on the CD. It guides you through the various chapters and holds your hand all the way through. I got through the book in about three weeks and enjoyed every minute of it.I now feel confident to go ahead and contruct my own web site.
