Mini-review & Competition: Dreamweaver CS5 Bible

Join the competition and win a free copy of the Dreamweaver CS5 Bible book

Dreamweaver CS5 Bible can take you from raw beginner to full-fledged professional if read cover to cover. However, you’re more likely to read each section as needed, taking in the necessary information and coming back later. To facilitate this approach, Dreamweaver CS5 Bible is divided into seven major task-oriented parts. After you’re familiar with Dreamweaver, feel free to skip around the book, using it as a reference guide as you increase your own knowledge base.

Overview

The early chapters present the basics, and all chapters contain clearly written steps for the tasks you need to perform. In most chapters, you encounter two special sections: Dreamweaver Quickstarts and Dreamweaver Techniques. A Dreamweaver Quickstart is just as it sounds: a few quick steps that show you how to achieve a targeted goal, such as creating a link.

Dreamweaver Techniques are step-by-step instructions for accomplishing specific Web designer tasks; taken together, the Dreamweaver Techniques constitute an entire how-to course. These step-by-step instructions are self-contained in each chapter, so you’re free to explore them in any order you choose. You’ll and all the practice files for working on the Techniques on the Web site, both as starting points and as completed files.

Naturally, you can also use the Dreamweaver Techniques as stepping-stones for your own explorations into Web page creation. You’ll find yet another cool addition to the Dreamweaver Bible on the Web site: interactive simulations for each Dreamweaver Technique. Created by master trainer Mark Fletcher with Adobe Captivate, these simulations give you the opportunity to practice all the steps in each Technique.

Who's this book for:

Dreamweaver attracts a wide range of Web developers. Because it’s the first Web authoring tool that doesn’t rewrite original code, veteran designers are drawn to using Dreamweaver as their first visual editor. Because it also automates complicated effects, beginning Web designers are interested in Dreamweaver’s power and performance.

Dreamweaver CS5 Bible addresses the full spectrum of Web professionals, providing basic information on HTML if you’re just starting, as well as advanced tips and tricks for seasoned pros. Moreover, this book is a complete reference for everyone working with Dreamweaver on a daily basis.
