Product Description
Dreamweaver CS3, now included as part of Adobe's Creative Suite 3, is the leading professional Web design and development application in the market, and is a must-have tool for any Web designer or developer. Dreamweaver CS3 offers new CSS layouts, a unified CSS panel, and CSS visualization tools that let users create interactive Web sites without having to delve into code. Dreamweaver users can now create dynamic interfaces using the Spry framwork for Ajax. (Spry is 99% HTML, so it's accessible to both designers and developers). Spry widgets (pre-built user interface components) let users quickly add common user interface components to Web pages. Each chapter in this full-color book contains a project that builds upon the reader's growing knowledge of Dreamweaver, while review questions at the end of each chapter reinforce the most important skills. Readers will learn how to customize a Dreamweaver workspace, apply cascading style sheets, enter headline and body text, insert graphics and rollovers, and add links to a page. They'll also learn how to add interactive elements to their site, such as behaviors, effects, and Flash video; add new code or code snippets; and publish their finished site to the Web.
SPECIAL NOTE: Before starting the lessons in the book visit www.peachpit.com/dwcs3cib for important lesson and project file updates.

 ADOBE DREAMWEAVER CLASSROOM IN A BOOK HARD TO USE August 21, 2008
After working with Dreamweaver and this book extensively I have come to the conclusion that it must have been written by someone in India to save money. It lacks the proper descriptions and illustrations that are critical to learning from it, parts and points are missing in the lessons that make it very difficult to use and in chapter 9 entitled " Working With Spry " there is a bug in the software making the lesson impossible to finish ! You can (and I did) learn from it but it's torture. Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 Revealed by Sherry Bishop is way better.
 Truly Disappointing August 18, 2008
I purchased this book to try to teach myself Dreamweaver. I have never read any of the Classroom in a Book series and I'm feeling very ripped off. I've never used the application or any other web authoring software and I don't know HTML, so I though this was a good place to start. WRONG! The information presented in the book is so superficial, hard to understand and asks you to follow their instruction without any background or understanding of what you're really doing. The worst thing is, I also bought the Classroom in a Book for Flash at the same time. Truly a waste of money.
Do Not Buy This Book August 2, 2008
They have you clicking on commands without knowing why. If you plan to build a website exactly like the one in the book you'll be ok. If you want to set up a CSS style sheet with your own design, good luck. In other words they do not teach, they do not explain. The book merely has you following along to finish a website they have already started for you. I got through chapter 7. I'm at Amazon today to find another book. Complete wast of my valuable time.
didn't help me a bit August 1, 2008
this book is pretty much worthless. it's full of "lessons" that are mind numbingly boring and do little to actually help the user learn how to use the program. trust me, don't waste your money on this, just buy a higher rated book.
The WORST learning book ever. July 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I feel the need to warn people about this book before they throw money away and most importantly before they decide to give up learning dreamweaver forever. To set the record straight, I am no fool, I am an electronics engineer and I am constantly studying highly technical advances in my career. This book is the worst I have ever come across. It is so full of mistakes that it is impossible to figure out properly. I kept finding myself looking up data in "other" books to figure out what the author was trying to say. Some of the exercises were so far off that it appears the author was on medication or something. I got to a third of the way and finally threw in the towel; I just could not bear another word. I have bought the whole series of the classroom in a book. The first two I read had mistakes but it was bearable but this last book finally put me off totally ever reading another book from the "so called experts" of that company. It's actually a crime to get money for a product that is totally unusable. The word classroom should also be indicative of teacher / student, nothing is explained, it is assumed that the reader automatically knows new terms and abbreviations. The author is totally detached from the reader. I downloaded the errata sheet but that matched the book exactly... Atrocious!
