What our customer's say!

"What???", I bought this book because it says it's from Adobe.

How can a company that makes such great software fall so short on it's books? I remember when I bought my first copy of Adobe Illustrator CS, I didn't go buy a book. Why?

It came with a book! A darn good one, too!

What I like about this book:

1. You can read it start to finish in a coffee shop (not too many pages).
2. It's very lightweight to carry around (not too many pages).
3. You really feel like you got thru it really fast (see above).

What I don't like about this book:

1. It glimpses over EVERYTHING.
2. It leaves me wanting more.
3. It brought me back to Amazon.com to look for a better book on the subject.

"Just Okay, don't expect to become an expert", I had to buy this book for a class. I have used the CIB series before and have enjoyed them. But, I read the reviews and I felt like why the school would even get this book. But, it is not that bad for just learning the bare minimum basics. There were some errors though. You had to download updateds for a few chapters online, which can be a pain. I have never used Dreamweaver before, so it seemed to help me learn the basics. But the class is now over and we were required to do all of the chapters. I just don't feel like I am extremely comfortable with Dreamweaver. I feel like I just skimmed the surface. Some of the chapters lacked detail (especially the form chapter (Chapter 10) and Publishing to the Web (Chapter 12). I found myself going over and over some things just to find that there may be a book error. Then other chapters were just so simplistic that the lesson was pointless. But, anyway I also bought the Missing Manual for Dreamweaver and since it is 1000 pages, hopefully I will learn more about the program.

"Many Mistakes", If you're new to Dreamweaver CS3 and are looking for a "clear" step by step learning guide, I suggest you pick another book. This book is full of typo's, mistaken steps, wrong instructions and is very short on explanations. I've used many step tutorials and this is by far about the worst I've come across. Returned the book for a refund.

"Just what it says ... minus the ability to ask the teacher questions", I had written my original webpages (many years ago!) with Adobe PageMill. I finally had to upgrade my computer, and thus the software. Getting Adobe CS3 Design Premium was a no-brainer for my situation, but when I opened Dreamweaver, I found it was terribly foreign to me. Figuring Adobe would be a good place to start my self-training (and seeing that the reviews here on Amazon were all over the map), I purchased Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 Classroom in a Book.

Just like a beginning computer class at your local community college, the book follows a prepared lesson plan for "hands-on experience". Unlike such a class, there's no way to ask for clarification, more examples, or get lesson material errors corrected. Although I started out learning things I definitely needed to know, I soon stalled out when I tried to generalize what I'd just worked through to a real-life creative effort. The book simply is not a resource, but a series of pre-determined exercises to get a person actually doing a few things with the program. It's value is definitely transient, not lasting, and thus not worth the purchase price by any means.

Also rather disturbing were the incorrect keyboard shortcuts and directions in general for Mac users. In fact, I experienced a repeated freeze-up when using a particular set of shortcut instructions (the "normal" command path worked fine).

I ended up browsing other Dreamweaver texts at a local bookstore (where I could see layout and formatting of each book) and selected "Visual Quickstart Guide -- Dreamweaver CS3" as a result. In it, I learned a LOT more about what I could do with Dreamweaver, and it's laid out in a way that promotes its use for reference during my learning curve. I tried to finish off the last lessons in Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 Classroom in a Book after that ... I lasted only a few pages before I closed the book in disgust. Once the toolbar, panels, and workspace became familiar, the rote exercises lost all usefulness.

I'm sure that Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 Classroom in a Book has an audience out there, but it's not me -- someone with no Dreamweaver experience and just a smattering of website design experience. It's definitely not going to suit previous Dreamweaver users, either. Unless you're very certain that your experience level and needs line up exactly with the few folks who gave out 4- and 5-star reviews, you'll be better off finding some other vehicle to learn Dreamweaver.

"Good book for beginners and semi-advanced users", This is a great book, especially for beginning users of Dreamweaver, but also for those who may have had a class or two in college and feel like they need a little bit more in-depth instruction.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"The WORST learning book ever.", I feel the need to warn people about this book before they throw money away and most importantly before they decide to give up learning dreamweaver forever. To set the record straight, I am no fool, I am an electronics engineer and I am constantly studying highly technical advances in my career. This book is the worst I have ever come across. It is so full of mistakes that it is impossible to figure out properly. I kept finding myself looking up data in "other" books to figure out what the author was trying to say. Some of the exercises were so far off that it appears the author was on medication or something. I got to a third of the way and finally threw in the towel; I just could not bear another word. I have bought the whole series of the classroom in a book. The first two I read had mistakes but it was bearable but this last book finally put me off totally ever reading another book from the "so called experts" of that company. It's actually a crime to get money for a product that is totally unusable. The word classroom should also be indicative of teacher / student, nothing is explained, it is assumed that the reader automatically knows new terms and abbreviations. The author is totally detached from the reader. I downloaded the errata sheet but that matched the book exactly... Atrocious!

"Excellent", Couldn't of switched from Golive to Dreamweaver with out using this book to learn the software.

"Decent set of lessons horribly edited", (Disclaimer: I did not use my own money to buy this book; it was part of a tuition reimbursement package. Had I coughed up my own cash, I would probably have given it two stars instead of three.)

This book is geared toward Dreamweaver beginners, and contains a decent set of concise tutorials aimed at giving the user a taste of all the main features of the program. The two bonus chapters (available when registering the book at Peachpit's web site) - on templates and code - are especially welcome, at least to those of us used to doing all of this by hand. The book will NOT teach you XHTML and CSS - if you are unfamiliar with those languages, this book will likely leave you feeling led around by the nose - and led rather badly, as well.

Which brings me to the editing. I have to agree with all of the editing issues cited in other reviews. A few mistakes are understandable; but it's not clear that anyone actually tried the instructions in these tutorials before sending the book to press. One specific example: in many cases the book instructs you to tab to the next field, when Dreamweaver has already moved to the next field for you. (Note I'm on a Mac; this may be different for Windows.) I was able to get all of the tutorials to work with a little trial and error; but if you are not clear on the goal of what you are doing, this kind of error can really throw you off.

In short: Decent book that was apparently not proofread. Someone should fix it.

"Easy to follow", This book is easy to follow and will have you up and running in no time.

"Dreamweaver CS3 Classroom OK, still a little rough on the edge's", The latest if the popular series of Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 Classroom "Classroom in a Book" was for me, still a good purchase. However not a great one.

I have used Dreamweaver in the past, but I am feeling a little rusty after too many years of FrontPage use and i was hoping this would help make the much a easy thing for me. The first editions of the CS3 did have some errors in the which were pointed out and corrected rather fast. One of the nice benefit of working with Adobe Press, they do tend to respond fast and very professionally. That is very appreciated.

I use it as a light weigh training guide, with a good number of hints and good examples. I might be a little tough on the book only giving it a thee star rating, but coming from the awesome job that Abode did on the
Adobe Photoshop CS3 Classroom, the Dreamweaver version has some very tough standards to live up to as far as books ago.

If I was going this again as a first book on Dreamweaver ? That might be a toss-up, but gut feeling is I might aim for the "Missing Manual Series" of Dreamwear CS3 by David McFarland also.
