Within this Missing Manual series, the author delves into the nuts and bolts of Dreamweaver MX 2004. Besides having a multitude of tips for web designers to benefit from, also included within the mammoth 836 pages are 130 pages of hands-on tutorials. The book is organized into logical sections, covering how to build a web page, building a better web page, making pages interactive (through the use of forms, Javascript, Flash, etc.), building a web site, using the timesaving features of the program, and building a database driven, dynamic web site. I especially liked the coverage of CSS (cascading style sheets). There is an online site which includes examples from the book in action. The beginner through the advanced user will find what they need to guide them through becoming more proficient with Dreamweaver MX 2004.
