awsesome book...

I love this book. It's step by step, well ordered lessons make learning a fairly complex program almost easy. I highly reccomend it!

H.O.T BOOK

This book covers the essentials in designing with DW. If you are looking for a book that will teach you the basics and then throw you right in to some of the more complicated applications that you can use with this program, then this is the book for you. Most people complain about these types of books because they don't go into specifics about some topics. Books like the HOT series can only give you the tools to learn this stuff on your own. Your limitation in Dreamweaver is up to your imagination. If you need someone holding your hand while you do it, you will get nowhere. This book will hold your hand, then let it go when the time is right. By the end of the book, you will be able to take those ideas that you have stacked in your brain and develop a creative and innovative web site. Great book for classroom instruction.

Excellent Introduction-works for DW3 too

I've never used anything other than pagemill to make web pages before, but decided to take the plunge with Dreamweaver (I'm a novice). I looked at a lot of other books, but this worked out great. Lynda teaches practical applications. Virtually all the other books (imho) are a random collection of functions that I couldn't string together. I used this book with DW3 and most of it works identically (I couldn't wait for an updated book and DW2 wasn't available). I didn't go through the DHTML or plug-in chapter though. There are minor differences but you should be able to figure it out.

Fast, easy help for the desperate & impatient!

I came into this with no website-building experience and I needed to build one as quickly as I could. I looked at a couple of books to learn how to use Dreamweaver and this one met my expectations in EVERY way! If you like to feel comfortable with a big picture about a program before you start pushing buttons and messing around, get this book.

Excellent Tutorial for Dreamweaver 2.0! I loved it!

Dreamweaver 2.0 - Hands On Training, one of two great Dreamweaver books. You should really consider this book if you'd like to go through simple exercises that will demonstrate the true power of Dreamweaver 2.0. I thought I knew what was easy and powerful with Dreamweaver - UNTIL I purchased this book! My eyes were opened to ideas I never before considered. Dreamweaver 2.0 is an unbelievably great web design product, and this book is the perfect companion to anyone at the beginner or intermediate stages. Then again, I thought I was pretty advanced, so unless you know EVERYTHING about Dreamweaver, consider ordering this one. It's a great book. You'll probably rediscover things you had previously forgotten. I did, several times.The other great Dreamweaver book is the Dreamweaver 2.0 Bible. It's an excellent reference that covers everything you would ever want to know in great detail, but in a simple fashion.I wish all technical writers could pick up a few tips from these writers. The simple language and easy examples are about as perfect as one can imagine.One note - DW2 - Hands On Training has a few typos, but nothing serious. You'll see them immediately, and they shouldn't be distracting at all. I don't remember even one typo that made this book technically inaccurate. Don't worry about that. You'll LOVE this book.
