DREAMWEAVER

WebPlus X2 Website Maker
$79.99
I purchased this for my personal website. After using Front Page for several years, this app is a breeze. It does have a couple of frustrating limitations:
Photo galleries are limited to 64 images
You can place captions on photos, but are limited to font size and caption placement
When creating a sub page, the navigation links on that sub page spread across the navigation area, making the font very large in some cases it just doesn't look right. For example:
Home page: index.htm
Pages: Pages 1-6
Page 2 has sub pages 2.1 and 2.2
When you click on page 2.1 sub page to view, the navigation links (options to select other pages) will show: Page 2.1, Page 2.2, and Page 2, and Home, spread across the entire navigation area (master page determines overall layout of your navigation area)
On the plus side: page hyperlinks are automatically created (or removed) as you build your site. Easy to edit the hierarchy of the pages by simply dragging to new location, master pages easy to edit and apply to all or select pages within website

Dreamweaver CS3: The Missing Manual
$44.99
The manual is a very detailed prescriptive how to guide for Dreamweaver. Page after page of instructions on how to do virtually anything possible in Dreamweaver. The book is well written and well organized that allows the reader to find what they need quickly. The instruction is just enough to complete the task but not so much that it blurs the issue.

Adobe Dreamweaver CS4
$399.00
100% Happy with Dreamweaver. Very easy to use (with a little help from a pro). Like the ease of designing my pages and uploading. I would highly recommend this program for any starting out or advancing in web page design.

Dreamweaver CS4 Digital Classroom
$49.99
The DVD that accompanies the text I found very helpful. Easy to follow along with and a great way to learn. Given the book covers the same ground, it doesn't add much more to the material in the DVD. Book is very clear and easy to follow. The combined materials provide a great way to get up and running with dreamweaver quickly. Not much good as a reference book on Dreamweaver - definitely something you will need in addition to this course. I found O'Reilly missing manual a great addition to the course material and for more in depth coverage.Dreamweaver CS4: The Missing Manual
