Short and Sweet, By
This review is from: Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 On Demand (Paperback)
This book is brief in form but comprehensive in scope. It has excellent screen shots from Dreamweaver and clearly labeled step by step instructions. I own several Dreamweaver books but this one is by far my favorite.I don't enjoy reading long winded technical books that take ten or twenty pages to say what this book can say in two. If you like more visuals and less words then this book may be a good choice for you. It was for me.

Get over your "not knowledge" of Dreamweaver CS3, By
This review is from: Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 On Demand (Paperback)
First off, this is was a difficult review to write. After going through the book, I am not sure if I should be writing a review of Dreamweaver CS3 or a review of this book. Anyways, here is what I thought about Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 On Demand.My first impressions of the book, and one of the primary reasons that I selected it, was that it is really nice looking book. It is printed in full color and uses a simple method to deliver its content to the reader.

The actual task... Read more

Great tutorials without the technical lecture, By
This review is from: Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 On Demand (Paperback)
I'm in the process of learning the various applications within Adobe CS3, so I was happy to find Steve Johnson's book on Dreamweaver. This was my first experience with a book from the "On Demand" series, but I'll certainly look for others, since I found the format to be very useful and easy to follow.I've been using Dreamweaver since version 4. I've taken classes and read other books on the software, but found this book to be extremely helpful for everything from the basics to very advanced topics. It presents the material in a tutorial style and is designed to walk a new user through learning the software, step-by-step. However, since each topic is presented as a concise lesson on a particular feature or function, the book is also well suited to intermediate and advanced users needing a reference on how to perform specific tasks. Each mini-tutorial is 1 to 2 pages with full color illustrations and a brief, to-the-point example of how to complete the task. The instructions... Read more |
