About the Author

Drew McLellan has been involved in web design and development since 1996. Starting originally as a hand-coder, Drew quickly saw the great productivity benefits that could be brought by a visual editor with the arrival of Dreamweaver 1.2. Since then, Drew has been pushing the boundaries of Dreamweaver through its solid HTML based methodology and powerful extensible architecture. With literally tens of thousands of his Dreamweaver Extensions in use around the globe, Drew has established a firm seating within the center of the online Dreamweaver community and can be found on a daily basis teaching and aiding fellow developers in Macromedia's news forums. Drew's online tutorials from his DreamweaverFever.com web site are recognized as one of the more valuable Dreamweaver resources available, due to their clear and non assuming use of language. Drew also helps out at the Web Standards Project (WaSP) as a Dreamweaver expert, focusing on the issues surrounding web standards in Macromedia's flagship HTML editor. As a Team Macromedia volunteer, Drew is a committed Dreamweaver user and enjoys nothing more than being able to share his knowledge and experience of the product with fellow developers.

5.0 out of 5 stars The SECOND DreamWeaver book you should purchase, 10 Aug 2002

By Chris Volion - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Dreamweaver MX Web Development (Voices) (Paperback)

As the author points out himself, this book is not designed for someone who wants to learn DreamWeaver MX from the ground up.

That being said, Drew McLellan has done a fabulous job of introducing DreamWeaver MX users to those concepts of both Design and Development that are integral to the successful development of any project (without going so far into any one direction as to get you utterly lost). It was refreshing to find a single text that espouses solid, fundamental design issues such as scope creep and reusable sources coupled with advanced DreamWeaver tools usage and building web applications.

If you know DreamWeaver and are now prepared to look at the bigger web development picture, this book is a great single source. It has joined the very short list of recommended books I offer my own design students.

4.0 out of 5 stars A nice change of pace, 1 Nov 2002

By Brad Halstead - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Dreamweaver MX Web Development (Voices) (Paperback)

I received this book, expecting it to be heavy on the server-side lingo and practices, but was pleasantly surprised to see that it dealt with the basics right through to the advanced areas of site conception, layout and design, static and dynamic sites.

If you are familiar with Dreamweaver MX (Self taught) and want to know more about actual web development, both static and application, then this is a must read book for you. The book is clearly for the web developer starting out through to those that are somewhat familiar with 'the way of the web' through surfing and brain picking in the newsgroups.

Drews writing style made the book very easy to read and although I consider myself to be html knowledgable, the book taught me a few things especially related to tables and accessability.

Thanks Drew for the great book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to Read, 11 Aug 2002

By Wayne A. Lambright - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Dreamweaver MX Web Development (Voices) (Paperback)

First I have to say the author of this book is one of the original people who helped me learn ASP using Ultradev back in June of 2000. Drew McLellan has a great writing style, which makes it easy for beginners to learn, this book Is no different. I especially liked chapter 11 which covers advanced table design. I am nearly embarrassed to say, but I can write asp code in my head but I didn't know what the <tbody> tag was.. this chapter goes over all those freaky details it even goes over a non graphical browser such as a PDA (personal digital assistant) Chapter 17 talks about packaging extensions, which is also nice. In closing this book goes over a lot more then some of the complete technical books about server languages, and programming which never seem to give attention to the less glamour's topics, this book is worth owning.

Cheers
