Product Description

When it comes to building professional websites, Dreamweaver CS4 is capable of doing more than any other web design program -- including previous versions of Dreamweaver. But the software's sophisticated features aren't simple. Dreamweaver CS4: The Missing Manual will help you master this program quickly, so you can bring stunning, interactive websites to life.

Under the expert guidance of bestselling author and teacher David McFarland, you'll learn how to build professional-looking websites quickly and painlessly. McFarland has loaded the book with over 150 pages of hands-on tutorials to help you create database-enabled PHP pages, use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for cutting-edge design, add XML-based news feeds, include dynamic effects with JavaScript and AJAX, and more. This witty and objective book offers jargon-free language and clear descriptions that will help you:

Learn how to control the appearance of your web pages with CSS, from the basics to advanced techniques
Design dynamic database-driven websites, from blogs to product catalogs, and from shopping carts to newsletter signup forms
Add interactivity to your website with ready-to-use JavaScript programs from Adobe's Spry Framework
Effortlessly control the many helper files that power your website and manage thousands of pages
Examine web-page components and Dreamweaver's capabilities with the book's "live examples"

Perfect for beginners who need step-by-step guidance, and for longtime Dreamweaver designers who need a handy reference to the new version, this thoroughly updated edition of our bestselling Missing Manual is your complete guide to designing, organizing, building, and deploying websites. It's the ultimate atlas for Dreamweaver CS4.

Buy this book 26 May 2009

By P. Rush

Format:Paperback

I've been a user of Dreamweaver MX2004 and previous versions for 10 years. After buying Dreamweaver CS4 I realised much was familiar - I could carry on as usual without problems. However, I could see many new menu options and panels that were opaque to me. The CS4 help system was near to useless. What I needed was a manual and I got it by buying this book. It does what it says on the cover. It won't teach you PHP or Javascript or whatever, but you'll have a reference guide to every feature of Dreamweaver CS4.

Great resource 10 April 2009

By DavidM

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

The only prior review on Amazon UK was negative because there is not a website to "build as you go" here. I was surprised as I liked this guys CSS book so I looked at the Amazon.com reviews, which were hugely positive. I made the purchase. I am only partly into it, but if you are the sort of person who likes reading material that is well written and that actually explains stuff and does not take it for granted you already know it all - leaves no stones unturned - this is for you. A book to keep by the computer.

Extremely useful book! 12 Jun 2009

By Tess

Format:Paperback

All books have a target audience so I think it's important to understand why I found this so useful - I'm someone who has only used Adobe Go Live 6 prior to this (about five software upgrades ago!!), which means that I may be familiar with many general website terms, but have absolutely no clue how to do anything in Dramweaver. This book was exactly at my level. It takes you through tutorials with a website in every chapter to help you put into practice what you've just learnt. Couldn't have been better in my view, but that's just me. What a great book.
