Review:
|
In two words: "GREAT BOOK!" Like any book about a product, the author teaches. But John Ray goes further and actually gives the reader good advice. I still don't think anyone can "learn application development" in 21 days. (As far as I am concerned, it's just a metaphor for organizing the book. Other authors/publishers use chapters.) And application development is something to which you must devote far more than 21 days.
However, this book is an excellent start for the beginning developer. The author gives good advice on developing sites with databases; he does not necessarily stick to issues strictly related to Dreamweaver MX. While he takes you through the basics, he is not afraid of discussing non-Dreamweaver topics.
Please note that this book does not deal very much with the elementary aspects of Dreamweaver. The author covers just enough so that you can dive right into working with behaviors and databases. And it's on that subject where he excels. This book is highly recommended!
