Good starting guide

I started out learning Dreamweaver by reading the book DREAMWEAVER MX 2004 by Khristine Page, which is almost 600 pages and mostly text, and I quickly felt overwhelmed by the amount of information and so was unable to do much to get started. Part of the problem in starting with that book was that I didn't know anything about Dreamweaver, and so was having a hard time following the text at all. So I turned to this book, TEACH YOURSELF VISUALLY: DREAMWEAVER MX 2004, and it was just the thing to get me going at first. All the visuals made it so easy so see exactly what to do on my computer in each section. The book is clearly written too, so I was seldom confused. However, there are so many graphics that there's not enough detail here to get you past the beginning stages. Thus, I'm looking for a great highly detailed Dreamweaver guide to take me to the next level, and I'm not crazy about the one by Page that I mentioned earlier. But, I do recommend TEACH YOURSELF VISUALLY: DREAMWEAVER MX 2004 by Warener and Gardner to get you started.

Easy to Finish

I have wanted to produce web sites for years, but training books always lost me half way through. Not so with this one. I highly recommend it. The layout is a little different. There is a brief description or answer to a question at the top of each page. Then a series of step by step screen shots below. In most cases each page stands on its own. This is great because you can stop just about anywhere without getting lost. One small problem for my bifocal-assisted eyes was that the icons in the screen shots ended up so small that they were hard for me to see at times. (Not a problem if you are young or have the program open in front of you.)

excellent book to learn Dreamweaver

I learned Dreamweaver quickly and easily with this book. The other books I read takes a lot of time to digest and you tend to forget much after all the longwiring steps of an exercise. This book gives you precise and direct instructions and shows you the results with beautiful pictures. Learning is effortless and fun. I recommend this book.
