Summary: Excellent guide for integrating Fireworks
Comment: First, let me state this. I agree that the title can be misleading. That is why the old cliche should be heeded to; "Don't trust a book by its cover." I'm a web developer and consultant. I purchase many, many books, but I read the editorials and reviews before I decide to spend any of my money. In the Editorial Review by Amazon.com it says, "It doesn't cover Dreamweaver in depth, but it does show how to integrate Fireworks into the Dreamweaver workflow..." This was a flag for me to check it out more thoroughly.
As for the content of this book, it hits the mark for showing a person the fundamentals of Fireworks. I'm a Photoshop user from way back but I love the seamless integration between Fireworks and Dreamweaver.
I recommend this book added to the reference of any serious developer who is not focused on using any single brand ofapplications or programs and is adaptable of using different applications in their quest of web design and development..

Summary: Primarily a Fireworks tutorial not a Dreamweaver tutorial
Comment: Like others have written, this book is primarily about Fireworks, so the title is misleading. That being said, its a pretty good book. It covers bitmap and vector tools, buttons, image maps and slices, optimization and exporting, and more. The book taught me a few tricks too. The CD ROM included synchronized with the book yet the files didn't do the work for you, so I still learned something, which is what I want. Overall I was satisfied with the book until the end, then all hell hit loose. The book gives you 2 projects to do with very little instructions because you're supposed to be able to complete the exercises based on what you've already done. It didn't turn out to be that easy for me. The HTML output page of the first project was nothing but blobs, and I couldn't figure out why. I had to contact a Macromedia tech support person who figured out my errors, which I still don't fully understand. The errors I committed weren't discussed in the book! But like I said, overall I was satisfied with the book. But I would not say that this book is all you need to learn Fireworks. It was light on behaviors and effects, and really most everything. It would've been nice if it gave me more in-depth treatment of the tricks so they "stuck" with me. The actual text is about 351 pages, but it could easily have been 500 pages to add some more substance to what was taught, just so I got some more theory instead of just "do this then that." And a few more tricks would've been nice. Like I said, you'll be needing more books after this one, at least I'm going to continue doing so, but this is a good start.

Summary: Only covers Fireworks
Comment: The title says Dreamweaver and Fireworks, but it really only covers Fireworks. The Fireworks examples seem fine, but if you're still getting the hang of Dreamweaver, this book isn't as useful.
