Summary: There are better books out there
Comment: I got this book reading others reviews and decided it would be a great start for me. The book is way to inconsistent and could have you lost a little at times. I am not too critical on reviews and actually pretty nice about them, but this book I did not even finish after I got through about half of it. I consider myself very knowledgable with PC's in general and this book left me wishing I would have spent my money else where.
If you are like me and want to have an awesome understanding of DW, then this book does not go that in depth. The author just walks you through it with very little teaching along the way. It shows you how to build a website with all her pre-made pictures, but I felt as if I was just plugging in things the whole time, not really developing a great site. My biggest gripe was the lack of instruction, the authors way of teaching was basically do this and do that, but not telling my why I am doing this and doing that.
... The 'Dreamweaver MX Hands-On-Training' as well seems to have a great rep for great books. I regret not getting that book instead of this one. Save your money and get another book if you really want to learn the ins and outs of developing great sites with Dreamweaver.

Summary: Directions without explanation of underlying logic
Comment: I am a graphic designer learning web design software. I gave this book several tries, but quit the Complete Course tutorial after the third lesson. I found I was not learning much I could use outside the tutorial as the approach was directive without explaining the underlying logic. Without that basic understanding, I did not have enough information to trouble-shoot beginner errors. Several times I just quit the program when I couldn't figure out how to undo something. Most of my questions were answered either accidentally by random clicking or through a web-search. (Examples from early chapters: the books instructs you to type in the hex color numbers for various attributes, but does not tell you that if you eliminate the # in front of the numbers that the color will show in Explorer but not in Netscape. Or, it does not define what an S or V value is, but rather tells you about a problem they can cause if an object is left or right justified.) I switched to Dreamweaver MX Hands-On-Trainin. The tutorial is much more basic but provides a much fuller base of information.

Summary: really bad
Comment: Do not waste your time or money on this poorly written book. You will spend a lot of time trying to figure what you are supposed to do because the examples in the book do not match up with what is on your screen. I do not understand how this book was ever published the way it is because if somebody like an editor actually went through this they would see that it does not work.
