I like this book because it is as visual as a training video, with screen shots taking up half of every page, but it has the advantages of being able to mark pages and use the index. The first time I tried going through it, I had no code background at all, coming from a graphic design background. Then I took a few classes and became familiar with basic concepts. Now the book makes sense and I like to refer back to it when I've forgotten a step. It's quicker to find the missing information and understand it at a glance, than trying to wade through code samples for me. And even though I use the CS3 version of Dreamweaver now, the Dreamweaver panels have not changed much for database binding between the versions so I still find it useful.Product Description
