successfully hides most HTML
7 Aug 2007
Format:Paperback
Warner takes a reader through an easy tour of Dreamweaver CS3. No previous exposure to it is needed. An added bonus, which is made clear by the narrative, is that you also do not need much background in knowing HTML. To some people who have never dealt with HTML, it can be daunting. What Dreamweaver does is make the composition of an HTML web page as painless as possible.
Typically, much of the book shows how to write a page in WYSIWIG. What you see is what you get. Click-driven and drag and drop. The grubby details of writing or inserting the appropriate HTML tags are largely (and thankfully!) hidden by Dreamweaver. So, for example, you can make line breaks in text, indent paragraphs, make ordered lists, and change text and page colours. All without explicitly editing HTML tags.
There are a few sections where you get to see (and edit) the raw HTML. Perhaps skip these on a first reading. With some experience in writing your first pages in Dreamweaver, you can later return to these.
The last chapter is definitely the most advanced. Talking about putting a database behind your website. The discussion is accurate. But it is only an introduction to the topic. For any realistic website with a database, consult a book devoted to the subject. Warner's writing touches on a few highlights. Enough to perhaps let you appreciate the complexities.

Excellent Book For Those With Little Experience
4 Oct 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I find the "Teach Yourself Visually" books to be a great tool for those who don't know much about HTML and don't want to get bogged down with it. My first TYV book was for FrontPage and it had me up and going online in no time. The same is true for this book. I don't understand why someone would be insulted by this book. Anyone who is 'above' such a book, shouldn't be looking for this type of book. There are plenty of more advanced books with lots of words and stuff that won't have you uploading web pages for weeks. If you are looking for the best, most practical way to get going quickly on your websites, these Teach Yourself Visually books are the way to go. Yes, it's a 'Picture Book' for adults and you can't beat it.
