Clear, well written book, that would benefit from more examples and a CD. One disappointing omission from a book on building extensions, is a chapter on Dreamweaver code translators, which unfortunately, is what I bought the book for. As part of Dreamweaver's extension suite, translators should have been covered. However, it is a useful reference if you prefer to have paper information to hand rather than use the fairly extensive documentation supplied with the Dreamweaver product.

This book is more than you expect. The authors are well regarded experts in the Dreamweaver field and reading this shows you why. Is there nothing they cannot do in Dreamweaver?!
This book is simply packed with titbits of information and contains great "how to's". You won't regret the time you spend reading this tome like you do many computer books :-)

A must have companion
19 July 2001
Format:Paperback
Having been building extensions myself for a good few years, I wish this book had been written sooner. Whereas the Macromedia extensibility docs offer a good reference to the Dreamweaver API, there is no teaching aspect to them. This is where Building Dreamweaver 4 & UltraDev 4 Extensions steps in and actually shows the reader how it's done.
Muck and West are excellent authors, making this an easy book to read. The pages are jam-packed with practical examples and code that can be used as a basis for your own work - again something the Macromedia documentation lacks. This is the perfect companion for existing extension writers, or those who want to learn. Highly recommended.

A Very Useful Book For Hardcore Dreamweaver Users
9 Mar 2002
Format:Paperback
This is a very useful book for those that are interested in extending Dreamweaver and UltraDev with their own objects, behaviors, commands, etc. You could find all the included information buried in the official Macromedia documentation, and amoungst the many excellent websites that deal with extensions, but for those of us that prefer an old fashioned book then this is the one for you!
So you might be wondering why I rated this book a 4 instead of a 5. While it is true that the content of the book is great, unfortunately I have a few minor niggles:
* There are typo's throughout the book (ie the word "it" when "is" was ment, "you" instead of "your", etc). While most books have typo's it is annoying.
* I wasn't overly impressed with the code samples. Don't get me wrong, I haven't found any actual bugs, but I don't like the way the code is layed out (ie indenting). For example, on page 44 there is an example that contains several JavaScript functions. Each function declaration starts in column one except for one (applyBehavior) which is indented underneath the code of the previous function. Sure, it doesn't affect the code, but it looks untidy. Maybe the authors should have run all their examples through a code beautifier.
I know that some people will think that my comments are needless and that I'm being overly picky; and to some extent I agree with that assesment. But it's these small things that have reduced what would have been a "great" book to just "good".
