Product Description
Book Description
Macromedia Dreamweaver MX merges the faultless visual layout tools of Dreamweaver and the powerful yet easy-to-use database integration offered by UltraDev into a product that is simply the most vital piece of software any web designer can own.
Unlike many other books, Foundation Dreamweaver MX concentrates on both sides of this alliance, looking to the future. No matter what your background, this book will give you a solid foundation in graphic design and layout issues as well as a full grounding in the powerful database integration features that Dreamweaver MX offers.
The truth is that database integration is no more of an extra in today's climate than faultless visual design, and this book is here to guide you through this new world, covering dynamic scripting with PHP and the popular MySQL database.
This book is suitable for both PC and Mac (OS X needed) platforms.

Too hard for beginners: Too much hand coding involved,
By ReadsAllDay "reader" (Library) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Foundation Dreamweaver MX (Paperback)
I am not a beginner in Dreamweaver by any means, and I don't understand why the author insists on making you do everything by writing code. If I could write in code, I wouldn't need Dreamweaver. I think his reasoning is that entering the code in by hand will save you time, but I think this is a big mistake on his part. That's the whole point: to let Dreamweaver write the code for you. You have to do things in hand code when there are perfectly easy features that do all of this for you. That's not necessary to learn Dreamweaver, and the author does not even teach you the features while you are entering in all this code. It's too hard to make sure the code is written correctly when you do it yourself, leading to all kinds of errors that confused me while I was learning. I had to continually go back and forth between my case study and the example that was provided. And then their code does not match what they are telling me to put into my own case study. It turns out that the book is not written correctly, telling you to write in code that is in the wrong syntax. The only way I figured out the problem was to constantly check against the example, and I realized there was an error in the instructions. Also, on the web site there is no list of errata, so I don't know if they even know they've made mistakes. If this is supposed to save you time, guess what: it doesn't. I would not recommend this book to anyone, especially if you are truly a beginner in Dreamweaver. Go to the H.O.T. book instead--it's much better than this.

Excellent step-by-step tutorial,

This review is from: Foundation Macromedia Dreamweaver MX (Paperback)
This book is a MUST for those wanting to learn the first steps in how to truly use Dreamweaver to create a quality basic site. From layout and images, to CSS tutorials, right up to PHP and MySQL lessons. It's right on.Experienced developers or programmers may want to pass on this book since it really is a beginner title... hence the Foundation premise. ;-)

Clear and creative,
By A Customer
This review is from: Foundation Macromedia Dreamweaver MX (Paperback)
This book is an excellent starting point for anyone who has only just got to grips with other dreamweaver versions. It gives clear but creative information in a way that is easy to follow. It's very well written and gives some good examples
