How to Use Dreamweaver

[cahrhocricxb@yahoo.com]

1.Dreamweaver's manual
Just one problem with this option - there isn't one! Oh, sure, if you
buy the whole Adobe (formerly Macromedia) Studio there's an "overview"
book you can buy for $15 extra dollars, with a few pages on
Dreamweaver. But Dreamweaver expects you to use the online help or
tutorials to learn their program.
That's crazy, if you ask me. How can you look up how to do something
when you don't even know what you need to ask??
2.Available books - Dreamweaver help
There are some great books on Dreamweaver. For example, Dreamweaver 8
Unleashed is a wonderful book - all 1032 pages and 3.4 lbs. of it, for
$49.99. Loaded with lots of stuff you don't need - and no way to avoid
those things.
That's the problem with most "how-to" books - they assume you want to
learn how to do practically EVERYTHING in the program. So you'd have
to spend the next 3-4 weeks - FULL TIME - going through almost
everything in the book. Because that little technique you must have
for your site - that's discussed on page 1003 - requires you to have
learned several other techniques hidden in the previous 1002 pages!
If you're planning a second career as a website designer - I recommend
you buy Dreamweaver 8 Unleashed, or a similar book. (Unfortunately,
since these books are PRINTED, all the graphics in them are black and
white - NO COLOR. So you'd better know what you're looking at, because
the graphics aren't going to help you much.)
If you just want your website up as quickly as possible - so you can
get on with trying to make money from it! - then spare yourself the
time and aggravation.
3.Classes/training offering Dreamweaver help
If you ENJOY doing tutorials (personally, I would rather visit the
dentist!), you can buy Dreamweaver training. The best place to go for
Dreamweaver training is Adobe (formerly Macromedia) - especially if
you have purchased the Studio of products (Dreamweaver 8, Fireworks 8,
Flash 8 Professional, Contribute 3, and Flash Paper).
For $99, you'll get 12 months' access to the Basic Library of courses
- beginner tutorials for a broad range of Adobe products. Or, for
roughly $1,195 (PLUS transportation, food and lodging) you might be
able to find three days of beginning Dreamweaver training someplace
close by.
Which brings you back to the same problem: How many hours will you
spend learning the program instead of BUILDING YOUR WEBSITE?
