Product Description

Product Description

This is the eBook version of the printed book.

Need to take your Macromedia Dreamweaver skills to the next level? You don't have to be a programmer to build interactivity into your site. You just need Dreamweaver 8—Macromedia's powerful new Web design and development tool—access to a Web server and an application server, and a copy of Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 Advanced for Windows and Macintosh: Visual QuickPro Guide.
  • Takes a visual, task-based approach to guiding you through advanced topics and applying what you learn
  • Works like a reference book - you look up what you need and then get straight to work
  • Concise, straightforward steps and explanations offer the fastest way to learn tasks and concepts
  • Companion Web site includes sample files
This valuable reference picks up where the Visual QuickStart Guide leaves off with advanced step-by-step tutorials on working with servers, setting up database connections, using SQL, and building dynamic pages—and that's just in the first half of the book! The book's second half includes clear, concise instructions on how to build dynamic forms and dynamic tables, create a search page for your site, and control access to your site with a user log-in and password. 

You'll get real-world examples and detailed illustrations of how and when features should be put to use, including what's new in Dreamweaver 8: code-editing improvements such as the coding toolbar and code collapse, drag-and-drop integration of XML data, server-side transformations with XSLT, support for PHP 5 and ColdFusion MX 7, and more!

Excellent, well-written, well-illustrated reference 5 Jun 2006
By The Dude - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an excellent learning tool and reference. It is written very well; the instructions are concise and clear. The book is well illustrated.

I don't think this is the best book to start with if you are just learning about dynamic applications. I would suggest that you begin with Jeffrey Bardzell's Macromedia Dreamweaver MX Dynamic Applications. If you are using DW8, don't worry--it's not out of date. The tutorials in Bardzell's book will enable you to build a web site using ASP or Coldfusion. (I am using ASP).

Lucinda Dyke's book, Macromedia DW 8 Advanced, will clearly explain and reinforce what you learned with Bardzell's book. With these two books, you should have no problem building a web site with dynamic applications.

The book has one flaw: the lack of complete exercise files. The author refers to the Cafe Townsend tutorial that comes with Dreamweaver, but these files do not completely correspond with the exercises. There are additional files that you can download from the Peachpit web site, but these files are not very helpful. You will have to improvise a little to complete some of the exercises. Hopefully, the author will get some feedback encouraging her to create a more fully set of files for download.

Also, if you want to learn how to create a web site using dynamic apps, it would be helpful to have a fundamental knowledge of databases.

Excellent book; well worth the money!

Another excellent book! 21 Dec 2007
By E. Panas - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I've been a fan of Peachpit Press books for a few years now. Their books are always well written and laid out to make them excellent for learning and later for reference. This book takes the somewhat confusing task of setting up a personal web server and breaks it down to a simple process.
