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 page xiv for a quick look at what the program can do; if you’re a longtime Dreamweaver fan, page xvii 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.

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.
