Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Get up and running quickly with Macromedia's hot new Web design tool. Step-by-step instructions paired with loads of screen shots make this easy-to-use guide a must for anyone new to Dreamweaver.

Amazon.com Review:
This approachable guide focuses on newcomers to both Windows and Macintosh versions of Macromedia Dreamweaver 1.2 and can help anyone learn how to create Web pages with this software in a relatively short amount of time. You first learn how to work in the Dreamweaver interface and create basic Web pages with text and images. Next you format text and paragraphs; add images and change image properties; add links, tables, frames, and forms; work with style sheets, libraries, custom objects, behaviors, and layers; and include Shockwave and Flash plug-ins and Java and ActiveX components. Finally, the author explains the problems of browser compatibility and helps you create a site that will work well with any browser. The author also shows you how to use Dreamweaver to upload and manage your site. Each chapter includes clear, short descriptions of each feature, large screen shots, instructions on accomplishing various tasks, and tips on shortcuts and other usability issues. There are also short sidebars on ancillary topics, such as learning URL-naming conventions, specifying hyperlink colors, and naming tables. Appendices include tips on Web-page design and typography as well as information on using image-map editors and other HTML editors with Dreamweaver. --Kathleen Caster




Rating: - Nice Overview and Explanations
I was very pleased with this book. For a low cost, it provides you with a comprehensive explanation of Dreamweaver's capabilities and how to achieve the effects you want. As the title suggests, you get excellent pictures to help explain the concepts.

I found the book to be well organized. J. Tarin Towers avoids repetitiveness and babbling and gets right to the point. Once you complete the book, it acts as a nice reference to quickly look something up - should you forget.

Rating: - Like all Visual QuickStart books, EXCELLENT.
I read it cover to cover in less than 3 days. I went from knowing "0" about how to fully use DW to giving advice and tech support to co-workers. I even upgraded to DW 2.0 because I read a friend's QuickStart book for 2.0 and saw all the new features. Just about all of the VQS books are GOLD! The local university requires its Graphic Design students to buy them too :)

Rating: - It's an excelent book for beginners
I work designing web sites, but I had to teach Dreamweaver. So, I used this book as a guideline for my course.

Rating: - J.T.Towers made it so easy
I have gone through a lot of software books,but none that made learning a new software as easy as "Dreamweaver 1.2". This book explains everything in a clear and brief way without being boring. It was the first time that I have finished an entire book without frustration or confusion. If just all tutorials could be that simple, uncomplicated and yet bring such an amount of information across.

Rating: - You can do better than this book.
For about the same the money, I would recommend purchasing the Janine Warner book, "Dreamweaver for Dummies." Mr. Towers was among the first to make available a Dreamweaver user's guide. However, being first is not always the same as being best. This QuickStart Guide is largely a recapitulation of the Dreamweaver help files. An expert user would find such a book to be superfluous, while a novice would need better prose to help them understand the concepts. Of course, the best book available ... Read More
