Chapter 1. Dreamweaver CC Guided Tour
Dreamweaver CC is a powerful program for designing and building websites. If you’re brand-new to Dreamweaver, turn to What Dreamweaver Is All About for a quick look at what the program can do; if you’re a longtime Dreamweaver fan, What’s New in Dreamweaver CC tells you what’s new in this latest incarnation of the program.
This chapter gives you an overview of Dreamweaver—a guide to the windows, toolbars, and menus you’ll use every time you build a web page. It also shows you how to set up the program so you can begin building pages. And, because doing is often a better way to learn than just reading, you’ll get a step-by-step tour of web page design—the Dreamweaver way—in the tutorial at the end of this chapter.
