Synopsis

A quick desktop reference for both new and experienced Dreamweaver developers, Dreamweaver in a Nutshell distills all of the software's features, commands, and shortcuts into one indispensable book. This is the most succinct and useful Dreamweaver reference available, and the only one in the compact In a Nutshell style. With this book, you will learn everything from document management to site management and all the details in between. You'll also benefit from the author's years of hands-on experience through the power user tips and tricks. All the information you need is here, from basics to advanced topics, including navigation bars, frames, layers, tables, image maps, modifications with XML, style sheets, positioning elements, HTML cleanup tools, and ways to extend Dreamweaver functions and functionality. Provided throughout the book are useful examples to clarify difficult techniques or solve common problems. Dreamweaver in a Nutshell focuses exclusively on Dreamweaver, rather than distracting readers with explanations of HTML and web design. That said, the book is equally useful to Dreamweaver UltraDev, which is based on the Dreamweaver platform. Dreamweaver in a Nutshell is the perfect companion to our best-selling Web Design in a Nutshell, and it complements the O'Reilly HTML, JavaScript, and Cascading Style Sheet books available in electronic format within the Dreamweaver Reference panel. This book's quick style and compact format make it the perfect reference for web site professionals who rely on Dreamweaver daily.

About this title

About the Author

Heather Williamson simply loves to write and play with graphics. What better profession for an individual with an eclectic background in marketing, graphic design, and computer information systems than to write and develop for the constantly changing Internet. Heather began developing Intranet-based training and testing systems in 1994 and has since began developing those systems directly for the Internet using Dreamweaver and ColdFusion. In the few spare minutes she has between her writing and Web development projects, she is building a house and managing the family horse ranch.

Reviews

Macromedia's Dreamweaver is the professional web designer's editor of choice, producing cleaner code and integrating site management tools and advanced options that others lack. This guide minimally covers the product's related software tools, Fireworks and UltraDev, focusing instead on succinctly mapping out Dreamweaver 4's every feature and shortcut. Beginning users or those seeking a tutorial would be better served by Lon Coley's How To Use Dreamweaver 4 and Fireworks 4 Visually in Full Color (Computer Media, LJ 6/1/01). This comprehensive reference is recommended for larger public libraries where web design titles are in demand.
