I'm looking for a good, complete, well organized book on Dreamweaver MX. I found "Dreamweaver MX: The Missing Manual", and it seems to be a decent choice to purchase. I wanted to know if anyone else has used this book, and what they thought of it... Or, anyone have suggestions for a good Dreamweaver MX book? |

books? ohhh!!!! My grandma told me about it when I as little!! It's that thing with lots of paper that the ancient used to read, right? I think I saw one in a museum a while back, but didn't find the power button... Do you like antiques?
lol, sorry, I actually love books and I'm always reading one and have a little personal library with 1000 books (more or less) and growing. But never read any about dreamweaver. ------------- http://www.conhecerparaconservar.org - I don't know how to make you click here |

I haven't read the book "The Missing Manual". You might want to check out "Macromedia Dreamweaver MX: Training from the Source". It is setup so that you run through tutorials to learn rather than just reading descriptions of how the program works. The draw back to this book is that it does not take into consideration previous knowledge in web development. Example: it will explains what tables are then continues on showing how to use them in Dreamweaver. I'd just make a trip to the bookstore and take a look at em before you decide to buy them. (Amazon enables you to look at several of the pages online.) Hope this was of some help. |

| MKrivanek, that was helpful, as i don't want to get a book that teaches html or css, i just want a book that shows the features of Dreamweaver, and possibly it's integration with the rest of the Studio MX Suite. |

If you're wanting to get a better idea of integration between the Studio MX Suite components, try some of the sample applications on Macromedia's web site. Direct link: http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/topics/sample_apps.html - http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/topics/sample_apps.html There are a number of different ones available and, as Macromedia really wants the new MX packages to be considered part and parcel of eachother, there is a big emphasis on suite integration. Other than that, I've never found a single book for any application, let alone Dreamweaver that really teaches what you need/want to know. I've always relied on trial and error and tutorials. Good luck anyway. |
