Priceless if your building any online learning sites

You can play with coursebuilder all you want but untill you read this book you will not know the full power and the customization of the free Dreamweaver extension known as Coursebuilder.Donna's book will help you build sites that hold student's attention and make learning useful. No coursebuilder option is untouched. If you would like to go even further by customizing the behaviors, she can get you started. If you want to track student scores per session or write student scores to a database using learning site command, then you must get this book because you will not find it many other places. Overall it is a must book if your building professional learning sites.

A great resource

I have been using Dreamweaver for about 6 months now, but found I needed more functionality for a tutorial project. I had heard of CourseBuilder but had never tried it before. I also found that I would need Dreamweaver UltraDev to create the learning site I wanted.Reading "CourseBuilder for Dreamweaver f/x and Design" gave me everything I needed to complete this project and so many ideas for future projects. Especially helpful were the practice exercises included and the lifesavingly detailed appendix on installation and system requirements for all the different possible combinations of Dreamweaver, UltraDev, application servers, and HTTP servers. I would have been dead in the water without that!Ms. Baker's laid-back writing style makes it easy to understand what might have been difficult concepts. The book is thorough and well organized. This one won't leave my desk.

Very Helpful

Have been trying to learn to use CourseBuilder and Learning Site from the product documentation and was not making a lot of progress. Then along comes the solution to my problem. This book helped me to get my project started and working. Wish I would have had the book a year ago.Good work Donna!

Worth Every Penny

This was the only book I could find on this subject. However, it's probably the only book I will need. While it is not for the complete novice, the book is clearly written and complete in scope. Contents are easy to understand and apply. It's one thing to have an encyclopedic knowledge of a subject, and quite another to effectively convey that knowledge to others. Ms. Baker clearly exhibits the former and does an outstanding job of the latter. Well worth the investment of time and money.

WOW, What a Read!

I read this one from cover to cover and was blown away. I never imagined that a "free" plug-in was so powerful. As an educator, I learned through this book how to use the web as an extension of the classroom. WOW! The text is an easy read with jargon and technical stuff "translated" into usable text. The examples are easy to follow and informative. I am now a Donna Baker fan; she is a tech writer that you can read.
