"As well-seasoned as Dreamweaver has become at every level of web design, MX launches it to new heights. Indispensable, essential, requisite. This is both David Karlins and his new book.
And whoever thought editing web pages could be fun? David's sense of humor and style have become well-honed, teaching both live and online courses for San Francisco State University's Multimedia Studies Program. He respects his tools and his audience and has his own characteristic knack for breaking down intimidating programs into digestible chunks. Each chapter sets up the objetives of content to be conveyed and then serves it up to be consumed with ease and delight.
David's hands-on experiencein the web design world, and his experience working with students lends itself to insights that help you construct your own intuitive process...
As one of his students said as he evaluated David's live Dreamweaver class, 'I feel empowered and ready to rule the World Wide Web.' And so will you."
