Book Reviews of Macromedia Contribute 3 for Windows & Macintosh (Visual QuickStart Guide)

Book Review: Straightforward Approach to Learning a Simple Software Application
Summary: 5 Stars

I just created a website in Dreamweaver for a client with the end expectation that they would be able to use Contribute to edit their site without a lot of headache. Contribute proved to be absolutely simple to setup and use for this task after I read through this book.

With a single reading, I fully understood how Contribute works for the end-user and what to anticipate in the way of questions, and how to setup and administer a Contribute-editable site for multiple users with multiple levels of permissions.

I even learned from this book how to accomplish something I needed to do for the site as whole and had become tired of reading copious amounts of text looking for simple solutions. It was right there in Contribute's edit features, and as far as I can tell is nowhere to be found in Dreamweaver.

As to another reviewer's comments on the size of the graphics, unlike other Visual Quickstart Guide's, this one covers a pretty straight-forward piece of software and the images in the book were there to show what you should see on the screen; from there being able to read the little bit of text on the menu, etc. in the book is unnecessary as you have on the screen...nothing so complex as 10-step photo editing process in Photoshop.

To sum it all up: this book will answer all of your questions...it did mine.

>>>>>>><<<<<<<

A Guide to my Book Rating System:

1 star = The wood pulp would have been better utilized as toilet paper.
2 stars = Don't bother, clean your bathroom instead.
3 stars = Wasn't a waste of time, but it was time wasted.
4 stars = Good book, but not life altering.
5 stars = This book changed my world in at least some small way.

Summary of Macromedia Contribute 3 for Windows & Macintosh (Visual QuickStart Guide)

Visitors to your Web site want to see up-to-date content--period. They don't care how complicated it is to edit that content or about the manpower issues involved: If they don't find what they need, they'll get it elsewhere. To ensure that they don't, you need Macromedia's hot content management tool Contribute and this task-based guide to get you up to speed on it. In this thoroughly updated guide, popular author Tom Negrino uses simple step-by-step instructions and loads of visual aids to show you how to build Web pages, edit content, create tables, employ Dreamweaver templates, and more with the newly updated Contribute 3. If you're a first-time user, you'll find all the instruction you need to start adding content to Web pages immediately (without fear of breaking the site). And if you're a Contribute veteran, you'll want to go straight to the sections covering this version's new features: integrated image editing, Microsoft Office integration, automatic publishing to PDF and Flash file formats, and more.
