Fox - I have some HTML experience (typing code manually, not using a program) but it has been several years since I needed to use it. When the need arose again, I purchased Dreamweaver, but I didn't know how to use it. Thanks to this training manual, I am well on my way! This manual starts in the beginning and assumes the reader knows very little or nothing about web design. That will make it incredibly easy for an extreme novice to learn. By far, the best part of this training is the hands-on approach. Most people don't truly learn how to do something unless they actually do it, so this is a perfect approach for something as complex as web design. There are a few things this book is not, so I'll list some. This is not a manual for advanced WYSIWYG web designers. This is not a book for JavaScript coding or any other advanced element. This is a wonderful book if you are just learning or not very proficient with Dreamweaver and want to learn more, but it would not be for advanced users. The CD comes complete with all files necessary to recreate sample web sites by following the written instructions in the book and videos on the CD. Years ago when I designed sites just with hand-typed HTML, I thought little of those who "cheated" and used programs to help them design. But now I see the difference! By using Dreamweaver, you can be a novice designer and still create a dazzling dynamic site in a fraction of the time that it would take an expert designer who hand-typed code! This book will get you well on your way! Highly recommended!
