Summary: Dreamweaver 4 repeat
Comment: I got started with Dreamweaver 4 using the prevision edition of the Visual Quickstart book that I checked out from the library. I dislike online help because I get frustrated figuring out what to lookup. If you're a starter, you most likely have no clue about the web design lingo. I learned, without much pain, how to do navigation bars, library items, layers, timelines, tables, and frames. This is a great book for starters, but I won't buy it because it's a repeat of Dreamweaver 4's Visual Quickstart, and I am no longer a starter.

Summary: Excellent resource!
Comment: As with other Visual Quickstart Guides, this book had me working in no time at all. It covers everything you need to know to get started with Dreamweaver MX and even goes a little deeper for more advanced users.
Rating: 2
Summary: Let's get real
Comment: While this review is still basically correct it needs to be ammended because the appendeces on the web are not complete. When looking for an appendix Q, which was referred to in the book, the online appendeces only included A - N. The publisher referred me to the author, but the email addresses given only return errors. Very disappointing. The rating has dropped from 5 stars to 2 for this reason.
...This is called VISUAL QUICKSTART. When I want depth I look at publishers like MacMillan Technical, Wrox, and O'Reilly. When I want some help doing a project with software that is unfamiliar to me, then I look first at these guides. They are reasonably priced and get me working quickly.
I haven't found anything that claims this book is for advanced users, it is clearly marked beginning to intermediate. Nor is it a tutorial. It is 700 pages of direct instructions that are grouped by task that are well indexed with a complete table of contents. And it is all to the point, I don't have to wade through dross to get to the silver. It also has a companion website that provides extensive appendices, along with links to other sites that the web developers that I know recommend - webmonkey, killerwebsites, pagesthatsuck and more.
I would say that this book is for beginners at Dreamweaver, not new computer owners. I am comfortable technically, I want to put up a site with Dreamweaver, and this is a book that will keep me busy and learning new things for a long time. Since I am not a developer, along with the website it may well be the only book I will ever need. However, the online references need to be completed.
