Book Review: Dreamweaver CS3: The Missing Manual
Summary: 5 Stars
I like the Missing Manual series over other popular help series in the way they don't use as much empty space as filler. This book is wall to wall information on helping the novice (me) understand how DW CS3 works, but it also has advanced chapters that I might have needed if I wasn't building such a simple website. This was my second Missing Manual after having received the first on another topic for a Christmas gift. I will look for everything in this series from now on when I need a hand. I highly recommend it. It is written so it is clear to both the novice and intermediate users. However, I imagine an advanced CS3 user would not learn much, beyond the occasional, "Wow, I didn't know CS3 could do that...".Book Review: Not for the faint hearted!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are learning web-paging from scratch, set aside at least three months for intensive study and practice in which to become capable of applying it to your purposes. This is a five-course dinner you are sitting down to. It's title, Dreamweaver, is well earned, but it won't do your weaving for you -- put real effort into learning how to use it and be patient over the learning period. You'll be glad you did! I'm half-way into my three months' and gratified to have grasped the essentials and to have done my first trial web page with it. It weaves your creativity into the woof. This manual is the key to learning how to use Dreamweaver --use it, don't just read it. --WTB
Book Review: Exactly what it says! Great "missing" manual
Summary: 5 Stars
After being picked to take on the revamp of the company website, I jumped into Dreamweaver as a newb to any kind of web design. I stubbornly stumbled my way through the Dreamweaver, HTML, CSS, and lots of other new acronyms for much, much too long. This incredible guide has been the tutorial and go-to resource that saved my you-know-what when it comes down to crunch-time.
While offering the reader work-through examples to gain a grasp of the basics, it also has a lot to offer to the intermediate user. It's a perfect solution for anyone who needs to learn the in's and out's of Dreamweaver -- and fast. Nicely written and easy enough for anyone to follow.
Book Review: Great book for even Old Dreamweaver versions

Dreamweaver CS3: The Missing Manual
I found that this book was absolutely great for my Dreamweaver 2004. I needed help with templates and my version as well as the books that came with software didn't do a good job with this. I have bought other books but when I got this one it did a great job with examples etc. 50+ pages just on this topic! I can't wait to use it for other types of things I plan on doing with my current version of Dreamweaver.
Book Review: A well written book - something we all need.
Summary: 5 Stars
Unlike some manuals and texts which are either a SUMMARY or a BORING TECHNICAL PARALYSIS on the software, this book is very objective, quick to the point, yet goes into detail when necessary. Forget the BIBLE style books, or NUTSHELL style books. This book can be made into an example of how software manuals are written in the future. If there is one drawback, the book is difficult to handle with its so so many pages. I would have broken this down into two books. Just for ease of handling. Also, maybe have the text font size slightly larger.
