Moreover, it's now integrated more tightly with Adobe's other products: Photoshop, InDesign, Flash, and their siblings. But with such sophisticated features, the software isn't simple.
So say hello to Dreamweaver CS3: The Missing Manual, the fifth edition of this bestselling book by experienced web site trainer and author David McFarland. This book helps both first-time and experienced web designers bring stunning, interactive web sites to life.

- Takes you through the basics to advanced techniques to control the appearance of your web pages with CSS
- Shows you how to design dynamic database-driven web sites, from blogs to product catalogs, and from shopping carts to newsletter signup forms

Great book for even Old Dreamweaver versions
Dreamweaver CS3: The Missing Manual
I found that this book was absolutely great for my Dreamweaver 2004. I needed help with templates and my version as well as the books that came with software didn't do a good job with this. I have bought other books but when I got this one it did a great job with examples etc. 50+ pages just on this topic! I can't wait to use it for other types of things I plan on doing with my current version of Dreamweaver.
The best guide.
Simply put, this is the best executed guide to Dreamweaver I've read. It accommodates most any level of skill going in to it, and has very well constructed tutorials and examples. David is a natural teacher.
My only minor criticism is that in a few spots, I felt the fine tuning of certain features was not fully explained, nor was there an acknowledgment of certain missing features to Dreamweaver and how to augment these missing options with minor CodeView tweaks. I'm not sure anyone but me missed this exclusion, so it is such a minor criticism to an otherwise glowing critique.
Great for Novice!!!
This manual is a good place to start if you want to learn about dreamweaver and all it can do without a headache. Very easy to follow and the tutorials are on the internet so no worrying about a cd that will scratch over time.
