Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 Unleashed is a large, very large, and complete guide to the features in Dreamweaver 8. This book starts by giving the reader an overview about the latest features in this new version and then moves onto more details (including descriptions, how tos, and potential uses of each of these aspects) about all of the features of this program. This guide, like the Dreamweaver 8 program itself, is quite intuitive leading the reader gradually from the simple basics like designing static pages and taking full advantage of the programs site management systems that will be essential for newcomers to the program to more complex issues such as dynamic page design using server-side technologies like ASP, ColdFusion, and PHP.

Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 Unleashed will likely serve several purposes for the reader. He or she may use this guide to explore the features of Dreamweaver and then use this information to create their custom website. Once these tasks are complete, however, the reader will likely keep coming back to this text to gain better understanding of a particular feature, to seek answers to website problems, or simply to look for new site enhancement techniques.
