Product Description
As the Web's popularity continues to skyrocket, so does that of Macromedia Dreamweaver, one of the most elegant and powerful Web-page creation programs available. Dreamweaver offers a rich, well-designed, WISYWYG environment for building cross-platform, cross-browser Web sites; but unlike most visual editors, it doesn't clutter up the underlying HTML programming by inserting unnecessary HTML tags that make large Web sites difficult to manage. Dreamweaver is a favorite of multimedia designers, thanks to its smooth integration with other Macromedia applications, like Flash and Shockwave. Dreamweaver MX (for Mac OS 9, Mac OS X, and Windows) marks the historic union of Dreamweaver and Dreamweaver UltraDev, a package of Web-database language modules once sold separately. The new, unified program offers even more power--and Dreamweaver MX: The Missing Manual offers even more easily understood, witty lessons for harnessing it. As in his highly regarded Dreamweaver 4: The Missing Manual, author McFarland livens the book with unique,live examples,that let the reader see and test--on the Internet, itself--real Web pages that follow the development progress of the book's chapters. There's even a step-by-step tutorial for creating an interactive Web database using Microsoft's ASP programming language, new to Dreamweaver MX. In collaboration with Missing Manual series editor David Pogue, McFarland brings Dreamweaver MX to life with clarity, authority, and good humor. Armed with this book, the first-time or experienced Web designer will have little difficulty using DreamWeaver to create stunning, interactive Web sites.

 Dreamweaver MX: The Missing Manual April 12, 2006

The tittle of this book says it all and it's not kidding . I have an associate degree in art in Internet Services Technology and I code by hand using a variety of languages such as VB.NET ,C#, Actionscript, etc ,and own a lot of programming books ,but I write my code using Dreamweaver as a tool and the The Missing Manual as a resource. I have found information in this book that is not even in advanced dedicated programming manuals so it is allways the first book that I grab when I get stuck. My personal website photo gallery:http://www.sigmacumlaude.com was ,coded using a combination of asp.net and Flash MX Pro. The process was much facilitated by referencing The Missing Manual and I recomend it to any web programmer of any level .
A Reference Book I Couldn't Live Without October 15, 2005

I use Dreamweaver MX to create interactive training web sites for a government agency. When I first started learning Dreamweaver MX, I bought three reference books. I don't even look at the other two books now. This is the one that sits on my desk at all times. I've never had a problem that I haven't been able to find the solution to with the help of this book.
I highly recommend it.
The Best for Learning Dreamweaver August 23, 2005

Hands down this is the best book for learning Dreamweaver. This author is very informative and his style is very encouraging to the new user who may be daunted by the sheer complexity that Dreamweaver can possess.
Using Dreamweaver MX 2004, I expected this book to be somewhat outdated. Nevertheless, I had a great time learning how to use Dreamweaver since there are very few major differences between MX 2004 and MX.
Well-written, Comprehensive, Simply the Best January 19, 2005

I've had a bit of experience with Dreamweaver, but this book rounded out my education. It contains all the information I needed (and more), has clear & well-written text, and an excellent structure that allowed me to access the information very quickly (they even made the binding in such a way that the pages lie flat). Not only is book accessible, but it continues to be a valuable resource on my bookshelf. As others have mentioned, one of the great things about this book is the fact that it also talks about Dreamweaver's limitations; options (such as frames) that could lead to problems later on. By the time I've gone through computer manuals, I usually riddle them with post-its in an effort to organize the information; this book is so well thought-out that so far I haven't needed to.
Earlier I'd bought the Visual Quickstart Guide's Dreamweaver MX manual (filled with post-it tabs in response to poor organization and because the information was so difficult to extract), but ever since I bought the McFarland book, the Quickstart Guide been collecting dust.
