Description
Book Description
As the Web's popularity continues to skyrocket,
so does that of Macromedia Dreamweaver, one of the
most elegant and powerful Web-page creation programs
available. Dreamweaver offers a rich, well-designed,
WISYWYG environment for building cross-platform,
cross-browser Web sites; but unlike most visual
editors, it doesn't clutter up the underlying HTML
programming by inserting unnecessary HTML tags that
make large Web sites difficult to manage. Dreamweaver
is a favourite of multimedia designers, thanks to
its smooth integration with other Macromedia applications,
like Flash and Shockwave.
Dreamweaver MX (for Mac OS 9, Mac OS X, and Windows)
marks the historic union of Dreamweaver and Dreamweaver
UltraDev, a package of Web-database language modules
once sold separately. The new, unified program offers
even more power, and Dreamweaver MX: The Missing
Manual offers even more easily understood, witty
lessons for harnessing it.
As in his highly regarded Dreamweaver 4: The Missing
Manual, author McFarland livens the book with unique,live
examples,that let the reader see and test real Web
pages that follow the development progress of the
book's chapters. There's even a step-by-step tutorial
for creating an interactive Web database using Microsoft's
ASP programming language, new to Dreamweaver MX.
