Dreamweaver
Sorry folks, I know this is definitely off-topic but can anyone recommend an idiot's guide to using Dreamweaver - the equivalent of HTCIP? Thanks for any help Chris |

Re: Dreamweaver
Can't actually recommend one Chris, but tap Dreamweaver into Amazon and you'll find 'Dreamweaver for Dummies' (no offence intended  ) amongst others.

Re: Dreamweaver
Thanks Gordon. Has anyone heard of The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3 with CSS, Ajax & PHP - looks quite good from what I can see? |

Re: Dreamweaver
Chris, if you're still looking for training for DW, studioeworks.com has, in my opinion, one of the best training series on DVD. Very easy to follow and very informative. Very professional and high quality. I got DVDs for PS and Illustrator and it was worth every cent. It's obviously a little more than a book but I think DW would be easier to learn by sight than by screen shots in a book. That's just me though. Good luck. |

If you aren't yet committed to Dreamweaver, I've just reviewed SiteGrinder 3 and it's amazingly good - and easy to use. |

Re: Dreamweaver
I believe Dreamweaver requires a steep learning curve to work it well. There are alternatives, Steve mentioned one, I know of Xara Webdesigner at http://www.xara.com/products/webdesigner/ and another is CoffeeCup. http://www.coffeecup.com/ Both much much cheaper than Dreamweaver! Ted |

Re: Dreamweaver
Thanks Steve I'm in a quandry now. I'm using wix.com which is very simple to use, hosted online and you can direct it to your domain. I used it on http://cberry.co.uk/theatre Will try out site grinder before I get to work on the new site. Cheers Chris |

Re: Dreamweaver
www.lynda.com is a good place for video tutorials. I believe they have done a series for DW. Their "essentials" videos require very little previous knowledge. After that their "On on One" series go a bit deeper. I think you can sign up for a free trial. (You could before. Not sure if you still can) http://www.lynda.com/home/ViewCourses.aspx?lpk0=364 |
