Customer Reviews

Amazing

The previous reviewer is full of hot air. This book is great. It covers all aspects of GoLive, from the most basic to the very advanced, in an easy-to-read and easy-to-learn approach. GoLive is an amazing piece of software, and no matter how hard you try, you can NEVER describe ALL of it in one book. However, Deborah Shadovitz's GoLive 5 Bible has a succeeded in addressing all the major points of the software and explaining those minor points which are of use to Web Designers and Developers who use this application in the real world. It beats any other GoLive book I have (and I have them all!).

Why should you read our rating review?

...simple: when selecting books to be given the honor of"EDITOR'S CHOICE" ..., wedo a little research. First, we selected several typical questions from the GoLive mailing list. Then we chose the key words fromthe readers' questions, and looked them up in the indexto the book. Now we judge the book on how quickly we get the answerto the question, how many pages it took us to get a solutionthat would solve the readers' questions, and how clearlywe could institute the directions in the actual GoLive program, on a real web site.Deborah's book got ALL TEN QUESTIONS within 2 pages,and all implementations were in place within minutes.The other top 5 GoLive books took at least 3 pages ofstudy to get to the solutions, and, believe it or not, 2 of the books could not answer the questions at all!We give GoLive Bible by Deborah Shadovitz top ratings, and the Editor's Choice Award for December, 2001 in the Designers Bookshelf.

The best one out there

I'm an Adobe certified GoLive trainer but I still find myself mystified by some of its features and how you're supposed to "work them" to get what you want. Deborah's extremely clear, detailed, step by step instructions for every nook and cranny of the program helps me out time and time again when I'm working on client web sites. I own most of the 3rd party (and Adobe Press) books on GoLive, and this is the one I turn to first.

Excellent!!! Organized, & easy to use, but.......

I have a graphics and design background, and have decided to teach myself about web pages and Adobe GoLive. This book is dauntingly thick at first sight..."oh great, a huge computer manual", I thought...but don't let it scare you off. It's narative style is extreemly clear, unbiased, and well organized- written in a start to finish manner. Shadovitz guides you through Adobe Golive5 with the help of site examples, screen illustrations, and also includes relevant principles for web design when they are needed (including very useful tips on polishing and publishing your site once its design is complete). It's thurough table of contents and index allow you to find most any topic with ease. My only complaint it seems are the typos. Towards the beginning especially, I was at times finding one per page. I got around them easily, but it may stand out some of you. Regardless, I definately recommend this to all who want to learn about Adobe GoLive.

Excellent book, if you're not particular about spelling

This is a very good, comprehensive guide to the capabilities of GoLive 5. However, there were an appalling number of typos, probably averaging one a page. It appears that the book wasn't even run through a spell-checker, much less perused by a proofreader. In one instance, the typo affected the meaning of the sentence. It's been awhile since I read the book, so I don't remember which page it was on. This wasn't the case in the other "Bible" I own, _The Photoshop 6 Bible_. By all means, buy the book, but if you're at all compulsive about spelling, you'll have to grit your teeth as you read it.
