Customer Reviews

A great guide for the novice
Peachpit have done it again! I purchased this book to help me feel my way around my first use of Dreamweaver MX 2004, and it didn't let me down. Each topic can be looked up quickly or read through in order, either way I have found myself referring back to it time and time again. Subjects are covered clearly and concisely with referrence to both windows and mac systems. As dreamweaver can be used for code lovers or wyswyg, so this book also covers both approaches. A brilliant guide that unlike other similar books doesn't waste your time building fictional websites, but helps you get started straight away on your own topics.
