Beginning Dreamweaver MX 2004

With this book you will quickly be creating powerful, dynamic web sites with Dreamweaver MX 2004 - the latest version of Macromedia's powerful, integrated web development and editing tool. Beginning Dreamweaver MX 2004 takes a practical approach to learning Dreamweaver. Over three sections, it takes a step-by-step approach to the development of three different web sites:

* A static hobbyist site, designed for publishing and sharing recipes and cooking tips
* A dynamic soccer fan site, designed to display upcoming events and news, and which each individual visitor can personalize
* A corporate web site built from dynamic, configurable building blocks
* Each section builds on the lessons learned in the earlier sections and demonstrates increasingly powerful techniques.

As you work through the book you learn how to program using Active Server Pages (ASP), which is used as the example dynamic technology. The core concepts learned in building web sites with ASP are applicable and easily transferred to other languages. To help, the book includes four appendices that provide fast paced guides on how to get started using JSP, ASP.NET, PHP, and Cold Fusion 6.1 with Dreamweaver.
