Mastering CSS within Dreamweaver, By

This review is from: Mastering CSS with Dreamweaver CS4 (Paperback)
As a novice web designer I thought I was in for a tough time but I bought the book anyway because it was the only book focusing on using css with dreamweaver cs4. I have been pleasantly surprised. I have had little trouble working through the tutorial oriented chapters, stopping now and then to check my code against the authors. The book suits people who like to work with split view and gives plenty of practice flipping back and forth. I am now on my second pass through the book. Its the sort of book where you gain deeper understanding of CSS on subsequent passes.I must admit I swore at it a few times but later appreciated the small "gaps" as opportunities to learn rather than fall into rote learning habits. When you don't fully understand the CSS you can just complete the code and move on then come back later to develop your knowledge. I still find CSS a little torturous and it will take me a while to get used to the "trial and error" design process. This book... Read more

This review is from: Mastering CSS with Dreamweaver CS4 (Paperback)
If you are looking for clearly written, step-by-step tutorials, this is not the book for you. If you are not 100% completely familiar with the Dreamweaver interface, you will find this book almost impossible to follow. While there is some useful information in the book regarding CSS in general, tying it all together with Dreamweaver is where this book falls flat. Trying to follow the steps for doing even simple tasks is tedious beyond description. Screen shots of essential operations are few and far between, so if you are a visual person you'll be pulling your hair out.If you are looking for a clearly written easy-to-follow, tutorial type book with tons of screen captures, try "Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 Unleashed" by Zal Ruvalcaba. I found it much easier to follow overall.

Highly Beneficial Training and Resource Tool, By Robin Button "Robin" (Fresno, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mastering CSS with Dreamweaver CS4 (Paperback)
Having been involved in web design for some time, I found CSS to be challenging, and even more so, determining the best way to do things is not easy. This book has become my Bible for All Things Dreamweaver and CSS .. an intregal part of my "toolkit." I refer to it constantly during development, as many css/design "issues" come up infrequently. And, I really liked the way they displayed the code for each topic covered. For me, it's all about the picture. I would definitely recommend it as a "must have" to anyone using Dreamweaver and CSS. They do spend some time at the beginning of the book reviewing the CSS/XHTML concepts, which is beneficial for beginners.
