Author: Arnie Abrams, Ph.D.

Grade 7 and above.

A clear and concise introduction to the features and capabilities of the most commonly-used program for creating Web sites.

Learning Dreamweaver can be an intimidating task! There are so many features and many of the commands are hidden within toolbars and palettes. Building a Web site for the first time is a very foreign experience for most people.

There's a stack of books about Dreamweaver, unfortunately most of them are over 500 pages long and you practically need to be a computer scientist to understand them. Using a totally hands-on approach, Dr. Abrams walks you step-by-step through building a sophisticated Web site. In the tutorial project, you will create an online portfolio. All files needed for the tutorial are included on the accompanying CD.

Includes 3 bonus chapters:

• Dreamweaver Tips and Tricks – helpful hints to let you get more out of Dreamweaver and make your Web site building go more smoothly.
• Advanced Dreamweaver Features – explains most of Dreamweaver's high-end capabilities such as creating rollovers, working with frames and using forms.
• General Web Design Tips and Tricks – very useful guidelines for building Web pages in any program. Includes sections on preparing images, posting pages to the Internet and working with multimedia on the Web.
