Comprehensive

I've used other web tools and am just learning Dreamweaver. This book is not only a great tutorial (although I skipped some of the chapters) but is a comprehensive reference too. Recommended!

A Good Book on a Great Program

This is a really great book for someone who is just starting out in Dreamweaver. However, if you do not have knowledge of HTML or web designing, you may want to find an html primer first, because, like any good editing program, Dreamweaver requires a good knowledge of webpages and how they work.This book is also not for the professional user. While the book does touch on quite a few of the new features in DW3, many of the tutorials can seem "old hat" to anyone but the novice user. That said, here is a good starting off point for the beginning Dreamweaver user who already understands HTML. The book is concise, well written, and easy to read. However, if given the option between this book and "Dreamweaver 3 for Dummies" I would recommend the latter. Despite the title, it is simply a more comprehensive study.

A "must" for Macromedia Dreamweaver 3 users.

Sams Teach Yourself Macromedia Dreamweaver 3 In 24 Hours is tailored specifically for the reader who wants to fully exploit the power of Dreamweaver. It doesn't dwell on elementary Web page authoring techniques, but focuses more on intermediate-level Web development topics. Readers will learn to build a dynamic Web site quickly, employ client-side image maps and interactive forms, set up frames, add interactivity using CGI scripts, JavaScripts, applets, and controls, as well as audio, video, and other active content, and much more. Beginner - Intermediate, 456 pages.

Dreamweaver Rules!

I'm learning Dreamweaver after already using other HTML editors. I love this book cause I already know HTML but needed to know Dreamweaver specific stuff. Recommended!

Best Dreamweaver Book on the market!
