Amazon.co.uk Review
When is a Web site more than a Web site? When it's a site built using Macromedia's
Dreamweaver UltraDev 4, which allows developers and designers to more easily link their sites to database engines.
Foundation Dreamweaver UltraDev 4 illustrates how far you can take a contemporary site to make it much more than a showcase. The authors clearly illustrate how to use UltraDev to make a slick, contemporary, database-driven site.
Using a very practical approach, the book is a series of tutorials working toward a common goal. By the end of the final chapter, the reader comes away with working knowledge of how UltraDev works after building a functional site. 14 chapters lead the reader from the very beginning (setting up the software and a local database engine) through building a site, moving data between the database and the pages of the site, setting up user logins and shopping carts, e-mail functions and more.
Many graphics designers quickly shy away from the technical end of site design, but the authors have done a wonderful job in keeping things simple and clear. Each chapter is concisely written, offering step-by-step instruction and plenty of screenshots. Each chapter builds on the last, and the end result is a Web site with all the functions of a true commerce site. The ideas and features learned can be easily adapted to almost any site concept.
Often, it is not enough to be a talented graphic artist when selling yourself as a Web designer. Customers increasingly want more than fancy graphics, demanding sites that are dynamic, constantly updated and able to tie into a database of some kind. This kind of work is not for every designer, but the combination of UltraDev and this book make a project like this less intimidating. --Mike Caputo
