Teach Yourself Visually Dreamweaver 3

Summary: Excellent beginners book with all the basics!!
Review: I HATE reading tech manuals or training manuals that are full of text and very few screen shots. I'm the type that if you just lay out the basics for me, then I can figure it all out from there. This book was EXCELLENT for just that and I'd recommend it to anyone starting out new. I read the book through in one day. By the end of the week-end I had created and uploaded the basic format for my web site. The visuals and step-by-step instructions make it very easy to get started. It is very basic, so if you are already fairly familiar with Dreamweaver this book would not benefit you.

Summary: A good beginners guide
Review: The concept behind "Teach Yourself Visually..." is to illustrate rather than write out the lessons. Since most people learn visually the concept seems interesting. The best desription I can think of is a classroom in a book. If you were taking a class to teach you Dreamweaver 3 your instructor would more than likely show you screenshots to walk you through the lesson. That is what this book does, walk you through the lesson visually.

Unfortunately, the visual concept seems to be light on explanations, especially when there are exceptions. Also, in a classroom setting you have the luxury to ask an instructor any questions, you can't with this book.

This is a great book for the absolute Dreamweaver beginner. I would recommend you use this book in conjunction with the "Dreamweaver 3 Bible". This will get you up and running, while the DW3 Bible will help answer more complex questions.

Summary: This book really delivers!
Review: This book is extraordinarily effective. Without those long-winded discussions (and incessant distractions) that plagued most computer learning books, this one made learning Dreamweaver extremely easy. I've basically learned it in a 2 hour sitting (i do have a little bit of Basic HTML background though). Each lesson is visually very pleasing and very VERY easy to follow. If you would like to learn Dreamweaver by yourself, you should definitely check out this book first. Good Luck!

Summary: Great introductory book!!
Review: This is, in my opinion, the best introductory book for Dreamweaver 3 on the market! If you know nothing about the program, you will definitely have working knowledge after going through this book. It makes it so easy!! This book along with the Dreamweaver 3 Bible is all you need to master this program. If you already know it, just get Dreamweaver 3 Bible. If you don't know Dreamweaver at all, GET THIS BOOK!!
