Leads readers through a series of eighteen lessons in which they learn how to create and maintain Web sites of their own. The lessons provide twenty-three hours of tutorials designed to take the reader through Dreamweaver's powerful tools.
This concise, no-nonsense book teaches you how to develop accessible, standards-compliant ASP.NET-driven web sites with ASP.NET and Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004. Real-world tutorials will help you achieve results quickly as you plunge into the text. You'll learn the fundamental concepts of the .NET Framework, then quickly move on to the workings of ASP.NET within the Framework. You will explore databases and SQL, in preparation for handling ASP.NET databound controls. Next, you'll explore the core role that XML, and XML web services play in .NET. Finally, you'll learn about Dreamweaver's extensibility and coding efficiency features—two of the most important aspects of developing with Dreamweaver.
The authors team up to provide unparalleled Dreamweaver knowledge. The book contains real-world recipes for building dynamic Web applications using Dreamweaver and ASP VB script, ASP Javascript, ColdFusion and PHP.
"Dreamwaver 8 combines visual layout tools with robust text-based HTML editing features for the creation, management, and maintenance of Web sites." P. [xiii].
* Thoroughly covers Dreamweaver MX 2004, providing real-world examples, and delving more deeply than the competition. * Covers Mac and PC, and both server-side and client-side technologies. * The four "design projects" may be adapted by a reader, to suit his or her own specific needs (like saving time on coding, developing a portfolio, or just gaining inspiration).
* Teaches Web development using real world tutorials. * Approach to subject is no nonsense, wastes little time on history and unnecessary information; therefore it is very concise and results driven. * Covers vital Web development subjects such as Web standards principles and implementation. * Includes a useful set-up section to guide and get the reader up-and-running quickly and easily (the technology isn’t quite as easy to set up as ASP).
* Teaches Web development using real world tutorials. * Approach to subject is no nonsense, wastes little time on history and unnecessary information; therefore it is very concise and results driven. * Covers vital Web development subjects such as Web standards principles and implementation. * Several authors are members of Team Macromedia and the Web Standars project.
* Competitively priced, comprehensively illustrated, with in-depth "real world" applied content. There are only 2 other books that approach this subject matter, and our book is more concise, practical, and reaches a more advanced level that than the others. All source code for examples and case study will be openly available for download from www.apress.com. * In-depth final case study – in the final chapter we explore the planning, design, and implementation of an entire fully working website, using all of the code, concepts, and techniques learnt in earlier chapters. This highly applied look at integrating ColdFusion and Dreamweaver in a complete project unifies all of the concepts learnt and takes our book above and beyond the competitors, which rely heavily on theory and small isolated examples. * The authors (in Particular Jen deHaan, Massimo Foti and Simon Horwith) are highly experienced and renowned members of the Dreamweaver and ColdFusion web communities.
