Customer Reviews

I've learned so much from this book!!

An EXCELLENT read! - I highly recommend this after you learn a little about HTML. I was very committed to reading the entire book and went fullsail with building multiple websites since its completion.

Excellent Resource for Beginners

I am a technician by trade, but I am very new to the web building world. The last time I attempted to build a web page was when c-tags were in style. When I bought this book I knew almost nothing about GoLive CS. I have now completed most of the lessons in the book and I will say I was hard-pressed to find any errors. Trust me, I know error proned books (i.e. CCNA). This book is perfect for a beginner and will lead one by the hand. The lesson material on the CD uses good examples. The book is far from exhaustive, but it will get one started. There is a whole lot in GoLive that is left to explore. After reading the book I have been able to build a good sized web site with many pages, and with many different styles.

Essential tool to get started with GoLive

One thing GoLive is not and that is intuitive. This book starts you off with a hands on approach and after a time it starts to make sense. I used it methodically and did not find any mistakes mentioned in the other reviews - it helps to use one's head and guess where one overlooked, or mis-understood an instruction as the program is very fiddly. Highly recommended.

REVISED EDITION update!!

I have never used the original version of this book/CD, but I purchased the Revised Edition (printed in late August 2004) and everything has been perfectly clear so far. It appears that many changes were made between printings, because the consistency between the book and the included CD has so far been faultless, typo-free, and error-free. I'm through 5 of 13 lessons, and every step of every lesson so far has occurred exactly as indicated in the text, and all files on the CD have been found in exactly where the book says they should be. Looks like Adobe read all of the bad press here and did something about it by giving us this revised edition in which all the errata seems to have been corrected (so far). I have prior experience with HTML design and with computer programming, but neither before in an Adobe environment. I find the text to be VERY easy-to-follow, and I am impressed enough with how it has helped me that I have ordered Photoshop CS CIB and Illustrator CS CIB. I'm no Go-Live whiz-kid yet, but the book has made me completely functional within just a couple of days. I definitely recommend it. Beware if you buy this book- make CERTAIN that you buy/receive the "Revised Edition", or you may encounter the problems all these other reviewers have encountered.

Thanks Adobe! Way to Go - GoLive!

I am an average computer person with little html knowledge and minor web-building experience. I tried my hand at the more well known Dreamweaver program and was confused and dissappointed. I have found the GoLive program instantly approachable and its process easy to understand. I was very happy with Photoshop Classroom in a book as I am with Adobe GoLive CS Classroom in a book. The points discussed by other reviewers makes me wonder if they used the book to learn as I did or are more technical and picking out minor points I did not see. I had NO problems with these lessons - and they flowed nicely from one to the other. My first websites on my own are awesome. As I continue to learn I am blown away by the ease and fun of this program and am thankful for this teaching book. If I can do this well - anyone can too. Try it, You will Like it. Thanks again GoLive and the Adobe Team.
