4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Overview and Explanations, 9 Jul 1999
By A Customer
I was very pleased with this book. For a low cost, it provides you with a comprehensive explanation of Dreamweaver's capabilities and how to achieve the effects you want. As the title suggests, you get excellent pictures to help explain the concepts.

I found the book to be well organized. J. Tarin Towers avoids repetitiveness and babbling and gets right to the point. Once you complete the book, it acts as a nice reference to quickly look something up - should you forget.

The book even teaches you some HTML as it goes along. So if you're unfamiliar with some HTML commands, you'll get help from the author so you'll know what is going on. However, I wouldn't rely simply on this book if you're completely new to HTML.

My only complaint about this book is the online appendix. You are required to go to this book's complimentary website in order to get information on the following 3 things: The Image Map Editor, Roundtrip HTML, and Browser Compatibility. Why not just include them with the book? Some of those things seem odd to include in an appendix, too (e.g., include the image map section with the chapter on Working with Images). The whole website ordeal seemed suspicious to me.

Despite the quirks with the appendices, I found this book to be quite informative. It goes through and explains Dreamweaver's functions successfully and quickly. Let's face it, you don't want to bore yourself reading a book 2 inches thick on how to use a fairly simple program. You want to quickly get through a no nonsense book and actually use the program. And for that, The Dreamweaver Visual Quickstart is what you need.

4.0 out of 5 stars Like all Visual QuickStart books, EXCELLENT., 4 May 1999
By A Customer
I read it cover to cover in less than 3 days. I went from knowing "0" about how to fully use DW to giving advice and tech support to co-workers. I even upgraded to DW 2.0 because I read a friend's QuickStart book for 2.0 and saw all the new features. Just about all of the VQS books are GOLD! The local university requires its Graphic Design students to buy them too :)

4.0 out of 5 stars It's an excelent book for beginners, 19 Dec 1998
By A Customer
I work designing web sites, but I had to teach Dreamweaver. So, I used this book as a guideline for my course.
