So Much to learn
This book is a valuable resource for anything Dreamweaver,,. it is well indexed so you can find a single subject easily or peruse options. Dreamweaver is such a complex program that a manual is an integral part of getting the most from it. I am glad this book was available as it certainly helps in exploring website construction with a bit of confidence!

Dreamweaver CS3 Bible
Over the years I've depended on the`Bible` series to teach and help me with various programs. I tend to use them as reference books to give me step by step instructions (with well commented warnings and tips) on how to do specific things rather than a sit down and read book. I rarely have the patience for tutorials,,.so these books are best for me. Dreamweaver CS3 Bible is as helpful and complete as all the others.

Not for beginners
As a beginner I wanted to get a quick overview of Dreamweaver before jumping in and learning how it works. But this book is set up more like a reference guide. I'm sure it works great for those who are familiar with web design and know what chapter they're looking for. But this book makes it difficult to jump in and get started, what all of us beginners are itching for. Designing and Crafting Core Pages doesn't even start til Part II on page 153. I got David Sawyer McFarland's Missing Manual and you start building a website from page 35. It's a much better instructional book.

All you need
This book contains everything you need to know. My only criticism is that the first four chapters are to do with setting up the workspace and other details that you don't really need to know from the start, you don't actually start learning how to write web pages until chapter 5.
