Overview
You're a beginner who wants to design a state-of-the-art
family web site. You've just started a new job, and you need
to learn Dreamweaver fast. Or maybe you're a professional
who's been using another program but is now switching to
Macromedia's leading web design tool. Learning Dreamweaver 8
gets you up to speed, quickly and efficiently.
Straightforwardly practical, with speed as the by-word, this
hands-on guide focuses on the best practices for
constructing both interactive and static web sites. While
explaining core concepts clearly and thoroughly, so that
beginners have a solid conceptural and technical foundation,
it cuts through the clutter that might slow down a beginner
tackling a subject as vast as web design and a tool as
robust as Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver 8 Design and
Construction emphasizes learning by doing, with
short, task-oriented chapters that demonstrate theory by
presenting design solutions and explaining the principles
that make them work. Plenty of screen shots, illustrations,
and sample layouts accompany rapid prototyping techniques
for site production.
Marc Campbell has been building web sites since 1997-for
everything from comic book fan communities to state
government portals and e-commerce applications. A Macromedia
Certified Dreamweaver Developer and beta tester, he has
taught web design to students at all levels and has written
eight books on the subject.
Sidebars in Dreamweaver 8 Design and
Construction allow readers to decide how deeply
they want to delve into the subject. "Best Bets" offer
bottom-line recommendations for those who want to skip the
general discussion, while "Behind the Scenes" sidebars
provide more in-depth looks at particular topics for those
who want more detail. Absolute beginner or faux debutante,
you'll learn proven procedures for quickly building
Dreamweaver sites.
