Editorial Reviews

Dreamweaver is a do-everything web design and management tool that runs on both Macs and Windows. The difficult part for some people to understand is that Dreamweaver does everything from simple HTML to style sheets, layers, and communicating with Java. Once users discover that Dreamweaver makes a lot of this confusing technology easier, they become converts. Both of these titles are good introductions to Dreamweaver, but the concise explanation and visual layout of Peachpit's is easier to understand. On the other hand, IDG's includes a 30-day free use copy of the program. If you can afford it, get both.
