Book Reviews of Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 Classroom in a Book
Book Review: Text font is TINY, hard to read. Need magnifying glass
Summary: 5 Stars
Just started using this book today. It's easy to follow the step-by-step instructions. It has less unnecessary text than a lot of other beginner books on Dreamweaver CS4. The accompanying CD has assignments that let you create actual webpages using photos, text and graphics that are already provided. It gives you a chance to actually build the website and learn techniques by hands-on doing rather than just reading about it in a vacuum. The book tells you how to manipulate the files in the CD to create actual web pages. You work on your computer using the files and photos provided as you follow the step-by-step instructions. Kind of like cooking as you read a cookbook.
I wanted to give this book only three stars because for some inexplicable reason the text is TINY, smaller than that for an instructional book of this type. It's very hard to follow becuase while you're working on the computer and trying to read the book at the same time, you have to stop what you're doing on the computer and hold the book about five inches from your face to read it. For that, I should give this a three-stars rating or less. But when I compare the substance to other books I've browsed through, this seems the easiest to follow for beginners and I didn't want to discourage people from buying this good book just because of the text size, which really is a big problem and which they should fix.

Book Review: Adobe Dreamweaver CS4
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very glad I bought this book. I have been enrolled in a graphic web design class since March of 2010 (it ends in July of 2010) for the purposes of building my Professional Development company. I desperately needed extra practice, because I did not desire to slow down the pace of the class. With this book, I have been practicing lessons at my own pace. Anything I do not fully understand, I can continue doing until I completely understand the process. Each lesson can act as a stand-alone tutorial, or be done in its entirety. I have nearly completed all of the lessons; I look forward to learning how to post websites through Dreamweaver (chapter 11). Using this book, I am quite confident I will get a professional, interactive site that will get a lot of traffic. I strongly recommend this book!Book Review: Easy to Follow
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the easiest books out there to develop a solid understanding of Dreamweaver. It is amazing how this book can so easily step you through all of the perceived complications of using this program. If followed step by step one should have no problems in being able to develop a quality web page using Dreamweaver.
I highly recommend this program to all beginning level users. It is easy to read and painlessly steps your through the process. Just be sure to actually read it and follow the instructions as given. . . do not skip!

Summary: 5 Stars
I got this book for a class I was taking and it is very easy to follow. The first order I placed did not come to me. It was shipped and receieved, but I never got it. I contacted amazon and they quickly sent out a replacement. I am a long time customer of amazon and I have never not receieved a package, but I was incredibly pleased to find out that the problem was taken care of right away....I HEART AMAZON!!!
