5.0 out of 5 stars Dreamweaver MX Magic, 31 Dec 2002
This book is not for the basic beginer, but it contains heeps of useful - no essential Dreamweaver tips, the lessons are well explained and very easy to follow, everyone will learn something. Having used numerous computer training books, this is one of the best.
For designers and tech heads alike you will not be disapointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Magical Mystery Tour, 14 Jun 2004
By Ms. A. G. Jones "knitologist" (Surrey) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This really is a very good book, made more interesting by the varying approaches of the different authors. The first lesson is especially enlightening for newcomers to the Macromedia way of doing things, as it leads you very clearly and concisely through the mysteries of how Dreamweaver and Fireworks collaborate and how using them together as intended can save you hours of frustration and brainache.

There are two things I found very disappointing, however. Firstly, there are two projects for learning about Dreamweaver Templates. They both provide excellent tuition in using templates to build static pages with common layout, navigation etc throughout a site. But, like every other book and online tutorial I've rooted out, this book shys away from the issues surrounding DW templates and server-side scripting (ASP, PHP etc) to build truly dynamic sites. There are known issues with DW templates 'throwing away' server-side scripts, but there are also ways to avoid the worst of the problems. Just try finding them published anywhere!!

The second disappointment is, sadly, common to most IT/technical books: the disastrous lack of proof-reading. Chapter 10 in Dreamweaver MX Magic, for example, one of the biggest and most ambitious projects in the book, consistently refers to paths and folders where you should find the working files for your project, but they don't exist on the CD. The files are there, but not in the specified path/folder. Most people buying tutorial books do so because they really need to learn something, many of them being under pressure to learn fast and be productive in a short time, and that is made so much more difficult and stressful if publishers are careless about proof-reading. I can cope because I've been hand coding ASP and SQL for years, as well as running my own web and SQL servers, but I pity any beginners trying to pick their way through these errors. Beginners need to be able to trust the books because they don't have sufficient knowledge to figure out that the book is wrong.

Other than that, however, I must reiterate that the book is generally very good, very educational and, as tutorial books go, one of my better investments. As I type, I'm awaiting delivery of Macromedia Studio MX 2004 and I will certainly be buying the New Riders' 'Magic' books to go with it.
