Amazon.co.uk Review
Macromedia Dreamweaver UltraDev 4 Training from the Source offers a fast-paced tutorial designed to get Dreamweaver users up to speed quickly with the powerful database features of UltraDev--the companion developer's tool for creating truly dynamic Web sites. Using a step-by-step approach with tightly structured sample data, this guide presents all the fundamentals to get you cooking with databases in a hurry.

This book's text is closely integrated with its accompanying CD-ROM, which contains a trial version of UltraDev 4 and sample project files for Active Server Pages (ASP), JavaServer Pages (JSP) and Cold Fusion. Whichever scripting language you choose to go with, the lessons are the same: establishing database connectivity, creating search, insert and update pages, implementing security and working with server behaviours.

Each lesson is clearly outlined with goals, estimated completion time, and pointers to the related lesson files you'll use. Every step in the lesson is clearly explained and illustrated with screen shots to keep you on track. Occasional tips and notes sections help to round out your knowledge as you work with each new concept.

The exercises revolve around a fictitious online coffee store--a realistic implementation of a basic online commerce site. While some background knowledge of databases and SQL is helpful, it is not required to master database integration with UltraDev because of the product's excellent query-building interface. Indeed, newcomers to the concepts of databases can learn plenty by examining the SQL statements they build in these exercises. This tutorial is a great way to step up to the next level of Web development--and boost your value in the Web developer market. --Stephen W Plain

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a good introduction!!!, 10 Mar 2003
By A Customer
Finally I've decided to take the plunge and after using Dreamweaver since version 1 its time to look at ASP.
Knowing the ins and outs of Dreamweaver I reasoned that I shouldn't find ASP so hard, however this book doesn't make it any clearer.
The layout of the book is very pretty. There are lots of screen grabs throughout, but don't let that fool you into buying it.
The explanations are very poorly written. I've been through the first 7 chapters twice now and although I've followed the instructions to the letter my version still doesn't work. This is due to 2 things, firstly the typo's in the text. Its ok if you know about databases but if you don't then you can quite easily spend half a day typing the word true (like it says in the book) when you should be typing the word True. In other places it tells you to replace elements that Ultradev has written, but what it asks you to select isn't what the program has written or doesn't match the accompanying screen grab, which am I expected to follow, the grab or the text?
I've only got some elements working through trial and error. For a book aimed at an introduction to ASP this isn't it. I expected a lot more than that from Macromedia Press.
I've tried twice to learn from the book and throughout I've felt that I'm just being told what to type with no real explanation as to why or what its doing,. Learning parrot fashion should work but after two attempts I feel I'm no better off and still certainly wouldn't be able to write an ASP page on my own which I would have expected to be able to have by now
On the positive side it does come with a CD with a 30 day demo of Ultradev, a demo database and lesson files but Id rather have a better written book and downloaded the files and demo off a website.
All in all very frustrating and disappointing

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use book, 28 May 2003
Each page is step by step - with lots of pictures for people who don't want to read the ins and outs. The subject is complex to a degree and you must follow each stage exactly .. but such is life when learning any new subject. But when your finished a fully working e-commerce site is yours to play with and then change. I must point out this is not a programming guide to ASP as such but a book that teaches you how to use the ASP / interactive part of Dreamweaver ultradev (and MX).
