Good for visual folks who are technically impaired or intimidated, August 29, 2009
By R. Garrett (AZ USA)
The Classroom in a Book series are great for those of us more visually inclined, afraid to jump in on our own. A good introduction book to CSS and Dreamweaver that actually lets you get your feet wet in technical waters by doing hands-on exercises that begin to build your knowledge base.Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 Classroom in a Book.

I like the Classroom in a book set-up. Easy to follow with sample lessons on CD. This is my second (already have Photoshop) in the series.



MAC Users Beware!, March 12, 2009
By Negritosan (Rancho Santa Margarita, CA)
If you're a Mac user beware of this book. I just started studying this book and there are so many mistakes and complication with this book. It says it's been made for both OS Windows & Mac but obviously it was made to specify the Windows over Mac. The instructions are so confusing for the Mac, I'm at a lost on some of them. I am aware that you have to download some updates that they made to this book (www.peachpit.com.dwcs3cib/) of course to download you must purchase this book. If this is just the beginning of the book I'm afraid to see what awaits for me at the bend. I am definitely getting a different book even though I will finish this one and learn what not to do!!!!!!

Keep shopping, this book gets bad in the late lessons (to little explaination), March 6, 2009
By Greg P. Kent (Chicago, IL USA)
This book was OK at best up until they got to lesson 8 where things turned South fast... They tell you what to do but give very little explanation of why and in the late lessons with "spry's" they give hardly and explaination of how to make a spry. They also show you how to make a form... BUT they said that making it functional is beyond the expanse of the book. I have done a lot of tutorials in my life and this one very poor. I hope you don't throw good money away. The "visual quickstart" books are always good and I just bought the Lynda H.O.T. book by Garrick Chow with video lessons (haven't started it yet)... The bottom line is It kind of sucked that I had to spend more money to learn it because the "classroom in a book" was so poorly done"



CS3 Classroom In A Book, March 5, 2009
By woodsongs (New Mexico)
Adobe has tried to rely on the mere fact that they are Adobe to get away with this less than mediocre book. One can indeed work through it, do the exercises, but the book makes very little attempt to explain the various processes involved.
