Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Dreamweaver is a favourite among web professionals thanks to its high quality output and fast visual tools. It is also highly extensible, which is ideal both for power users and third-party vendors. Author Joseph Lowery is well known for his authoritative, in-depth writing on Dreamweaver, not least in the previous edition of this title. Dreamweaver 3 Bible maintains the high standard. This is a comprehensive guide to Dreamweaver 3, complete with explanations of key web technologies. The CD-ROM includes a trial version along with hundreds of extensions and code examples.
Starting with an introductory overview, the book's first section is a hands-on tour of Dreamweaver covering all of its menus and preferences, and introducing site management and publishing. Next up is an introduction to HTML with in-depth coverage of using Dreamweaver for text formatting, image handling, links, lists, forms and frames. That accounts for around half the book.
The latter part of Dreamweaver 3 Bible puts the focus on dynamic web pages. Topics include CGI scripts, JavaScript, and understanding Dreamweaver Behaviours. A strong section on multimedia explains Fireworks integration, using Shockwave, and streaming video and audio with RealMedia and other technologies. Four chapters on Dynamic HTML show how you can use Cascading Style Sheets, layers and timelines to achieve rich dynamic effects. There is a brief look at advanced topics such as live database links, XML, and e-commerce. Finally, there is an explanation of Dreamweaver templates and libraries and a discussion of cross-browser compatibility.
Suitable for intermediate and advanced users, Dreamweaver 3 Bible is an excellent in-depth guide. It is particularly strong on multimedia and dynamic effects. The chapters on database links and e-commerce are too brief to be really useful, but that merely reflects Dreamweaver's status as a client-side authoring tool. --Tim Anderson

No HTML knowledge? Need a website? - Buy this book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dreamweaver 3 Bible (Paperback)
Everything you needed to know in order to put up a professional, quality-looking website and in a short time too! I had no previous knowledge about web development at all. I bought this book and accompanied it by downloading a free html tutorial from the web to get the basics of html (there are loads about). Once I understood the very basics of html (5 minutes tops!), the Dreamweaver 3 bible was intuitive, simple to understand and in some areas hard to put down as you soon realise that all the ideas you have in your head for a website are very, very easy to do and this book takes you through them step by step. I also found that the features highlighted by this book led to more ideas. If you want a complete one-stop reference, this is it. I will definately be buying Lowery again.

A pretty good book, covering everything in Dreamweaver!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dreamweaver 3 Bible (Paperback)
Bought this book, after purchasing the JavaScript Bible. The chapters are well laid out and the book is good enough to use as a reference guide as well as a teaching guide. Well recommended.
