A Quick How-To Manual, By
This review is from: Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 on Demand (Paperback)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
As a college educator, I am always on the outlook for new books for potential usage within a classroom setting. When I saw this book, I just couldn't help but check it out! ;-)First, here's what's great: 1) If you already have experience with Dreamweaver, you'll find this book to be an excellent reference guide. Each chapter is broken down into mini, how-to pages that are solely designed to provide you with quick directions on how to accomplish a particular task. This book isn't really designed to teach absolute beginners how to use Dreamweaver, but instead, it serves as a quick, "Help! How do I do this?..." reference guide. 2) The book is organized in manner that makes it easy to look up the help topic that you need. - Having problems with the appearance of your text? Check out chapter 5! - Need help adding and working with images? Chapter 6 is for you. - Adding links between pages? That's where chapter 7 comes... Read more

Disappointing, hard to navigate., By
This review is from: Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 on Demand (Paperback)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
If you're looking for a tutorial on Adobe Dreamweaver CS5, this is not yourbook. "On Demand" is a visual quick reference book organized in 22 color-coded chapters designed to direct the reader to specific functions and features of the program. Chapters are organized in general category headings from basic to advanced and are filled with color screen illustrations, keyed to step-by-step instructions. The book looks great. It's colorful and attractively designed, but in this case design trumps function. Reference tabs are color-coded but don't contain any descriptive text making them unusable as a quick reference tool. To find the content you want you'll have to do that the old-fashioned way -- by flipping to the table of contents or index. Screenshots are nice to look at but are small and best viewed with magnifying glass. The explanatory copy is sparse as well. Even the most complex concepts are limited... Read more

A beginning in-depth Dreamweaver CS5 resource that caters to the super visual learner!, By
This review is from: Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 on Demand (Paperback)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Do you like lots of pictures and do you learn best that way? If so, you've found your Dreamweaver CS5 book.I've been a fan of QUE books for some time now. They are typically timely and very visual books. You can easily find a thicker book with "Bible" in the title to take up more space on your desk and make you look like the office geek ... but if you are the type of person who learns visually, this book is right up your alley and you'll gain a lot from it. Keep in mind this book is for beginners to intermediate Dreamweaver CS5 users. There have been numerous changes between CS4 and CS5 - but the changes involve more streamlining in CS5. If you are a current Dreamweaver CS4 or CS3 user and are proficient, this book might not add anything to your knowledge base. I would consider stepping up to something else or using online tutorials (especially if you already own a book on Dreamweaver CSX). This book isn't about just diving in and building a website. A...
