Summary: Advanced? Maybe if this is your second day at it...
Comment: Having worked with Dreamweaver since version 2, I went out looking for something to get me beyond the basics that every tutorial covers. I saw "Advanced" and thought, ah-hah! I've found it!
Nope. The topics it covers are about as in-depth as the Dreamweaver manual (which, of course, is free with your copy of Dreamweaver). If you are looking for how to create your own objects or behaviors, or how to really take advantage of the server scripting capabilities, this isn't your book.
What it does cover, it covers clearly, so if you are just starting out with Dreamweaver, don't pass by the book based on its title. By the time you are ready for advanced, you won't need it.

Summary: Better for beginners/intermediates
Comment: The word "Advanced" in the title may be a little misleading, but that's the worst thing I can say about this book. I am, by trade, a system administrator who wants to dabble in web frontends for databases. I think that makes me a beginner. Specifically, I have a simple Excel spreadsheet I've converted to a simple SQL 2000 database, and I want a simple frontend to update and query its records. Oddly to me, I could not find any direction from any of the Dreamweaver MX books with "Fundamentals" or "For Beginners" or "Introducing" in the titles. Some might say database connections is an advanced feature of MX, but I don't think so. Before I read this book, I didn't even know what ASP or VBScript was, really. The beginning of the book explains the different web technologies AND database technologies (wish I had used PHP and MySQL). Now I know the difference between JSP and Java and Javascript. After that introduction, they walk you through connecting to your database and setting up dynamic forms. It's all making sense now. I don't think you could depend on this book stand-alone without good ASP, HTML and SQL references, but it has been the best resource in my collection so far.

Summary: blah
Comment: if you know dw 4 then you pretty much know dw mx except maybe for the server-side/ultradev aspect. i was expecting to get server side aspects from this book considering it claims its advanced/pro level. you won't find that here. what you will find is what you'd already have realized on your own by experimenting with dreamweaver 4(they label it as being advanced). css and site management things like that
.
as per the official training for the dw mx advanced training from the source.. i thought it was redundant... hoped that it would cover php and asp.net considering its previous version, dw ultradev 4 training from the source covered asp, jsp, and cfml... disappointment again... covers pretty much only asp and cfml. man, isn't it just logical that they would do so in the subsequent book? .
this is ridiculous, them making you buy a separate book for individual server side programming... one for php, one for asp... one for asp.net one for cfml... one for php
