Newbie question (tutorial pointers needed)

[x.chen]

Hi, folks

I am new to this tool, Dreamweaver. I heard of that it's convenient to use it
to create website. I am wondering if any one can give me a pointer to start to
learn this tool. My background is in the backend and some interface using Java,
JSP and I used to hand-code the pages. I never use a tool like this and hope it
will speed up setting the site and polish the interfaces of the site.

Btw, I just installed Micromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 in XP.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Spend a while with learning HTML and CSS. Then your learning curve into DW
will be trivial.

Thanks for the reply. I know HTML and CSS. What I am looking for is a good resource to teach me how to use the tool quickly.

Cheers!

Start with the tutorials you can access from F1 Help. Then visit the
Macromedia site for plenty of others....
