Editorial Review: Product Description: As an experienced Dreamweaver developer, you don't need a guide to step you through every new Dreamweaver MX 2004 button and feature. Chances are, you'll be able to figure most of those out on your own. What you need--and this volume delivers--is an in-depth exploration of how you can leverage all of Dreamweaver's power to take your own Web development process to the next level. Moving beyond the explanations that are readily available in the product's documentation and the commonly available introductory guides, author Laura Gutman draws on her own extensive experience as a multimedia Web application developer to explore some of the software's more creative and complex uses--many of which involve features new to Dreamweaver MX 2004: editing files, manipulating databases, and changing code directly on remote FTP and network servers without first stetting up a Dreamweaver site; using CSS to improve your design procedures; and more. Easy-to-follow explanations, insightful exercises, render a complex topic painless. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - the ideal book for dreamweaverWhen I first decided to teach myself web design, I began with Dreamweaver for Dummies, which only took me so far. Then I tried to work with several other Dreamweaver guides, all of which were too complex for a newbie or too disorderly and unclear. When I finally got to Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 Demystified, I was relieved and elated all at once. Finally a book that made learning CSS style sheets a snap. Perhaps most importantly, it took the time to explain each element of creating a style ... Read More Rating: - Very ThoroughI normally use the visual quickstart guide for teaching but for unexplicable reasons, the VQS guide wasn't out when I needed to teach so I turned to demystified. I found it very easy to use and greatly appreciated the examples. I even tought myself a topic I've been meaning to learn for a couple of years. This book made it so easy, I'm not sure why I waited so long! Rating: - Great book, very comprehensiveI highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to eventually get into depth on Dreamweaver. The book is rated as "Intermediate/Advanced" level on the cover, but it's a book a novice to Dreamweaver can easily understand. The book goes well beyond just the very basics of using Dreamweaver however. For example there is a section on the coding syntax for Dreamweaver templates. Overall I found it to be very clear, well-organized and easy to follow, and enjoyable, and I am really glad I bought it. Rating:  - Mysterious DemystificationI found I couldn't get past the enormous amount of errata in this book - had I not known the plan, I would find the directions for CSS and tables to be not only confusing, but wrong. In checking the web site to download the exercise files, I found no section for errata, which really needs to be done. The book does have useful information about working with ColdFusion, PHP, ASP.NET and building dynamic sites; however, until we lay Netscape 4.7 to rest some day, it does have to be a big consideration ... Read More Rating: - This is the bookEven though I started with Dreamweaver 2, I didn't fully understand the program until I read "Inside Dreamweaver 4." This is the MX 2004 version, and it is the best single resource I have found on Dreamweaver. I find all Macromedia Press books excellent, but this one is outstanding.
