If you are a novice like me, you may find a number of the explanations quite ambiguous. Despite following the instructions carefully it is sometimes possible to end up with a result that is not the same as in the book. I doubt if anyone converting from CS6 to CC would have this problem, as they should have the overall knowledge and confidence to fill in any gaps in the explanations in the CIB.
Charging a premium price for a book that has not been checked properly leads one to question the quality of other current publications from Peachpit Press. Here are some statistics: during the past 5 weeks I have sent 6 emails to Peachpit listing 54 errata in Lessons 3 to 11 inclusive. Peachpit has always replied promptly and politely, and I see that the Lesson Now for the good points.
The content is fairly extensive and where the lessons are error free they are both enjoyable and instructive. I did sometimes find that they did not go far enough and cover some of the more advanced points; for that, another book or Adobe's online material will be required.
Remember that this is NOT a reference book so the Index at the back only covers what is in the lessons. In fact, as a quick reference, I have also purchased and benefitted from Dreamweaver CC For Dummies For Dummies Computers which is designed so that you can dip into it when you need details of something specific that you have forgotten.
In conclusion, were it not for rather too many errors, this would have been an excellent way of learning the basics of Dreamweaver CC. For newcomers to Dreamweaver who purchase this, allow extra time for the lessons and don't always assume that it is your fault when things go wrong. Firstly I concur with the 2-star review, there are some annoying errors in the book - although I didn't find as many as he has listed. Still, for a technical reference book there shouldn't be and that is annoying.
There's also one big issue that he doesn't mention, the exercises in the chapter on writing code are tricky to do on a modern Mac. That's because the suggested application, Textedit, doesn't emit plain text html under Mavericks. Having given it the thumbs down then why four stars? To be truthful I considered three, but at the end of the day this is still one of the better introductions to what is now a heavyweight - and in my opinion - no longer an entry level web authoring piece of software.
If you just want to make a website visually, Adobe Muse, the sister product is the better bet. On the other hand if you do want a through grounding in 'proper' web design and are prepared to work through this book then you will get there. On the way you will learn things that not only you will use in webpages, but also in ePub, iBooks and other things that use modern web technologies as a foundation. Don't expect instant results. This is not something you will learn in a weekend, and you will have to constantly re-skill.
But you will emerge with a strong knowledge of web technologies and be able to really understand how these things work. One person found this helpful. I have been using Dreamweaver for years, but it had changed quite a bit since I started using it, and so it was time for a refresher course. This book is phantastic. It starts right at the beginning and works you nicely through the basics you need to know.
As I already have been working with Dreamweaver, I worked myself in no time through the book. I wish there would be a follow-up book for some more complicated stuff, though. Report abuse. E' un buon libro per esercitarsi ma non per imparare ad utilizzare il software. Gli argomenti sono trattati in maniera sbrigativa e senza alcun approfondimento sul codice, che invece servirebbe moltissimo. Translate review to English. See all reviews.
