Macromedia Dreamweaver MX merges the faultless visual layout tools of
Dreamweaver and the powerful yet easy-to-use database integration
offered by UltraDev into a product that is simply the most vital piece
of software any web designer can own.
Unlike many other books, Foundation Dreamweaver MX concentrates on
both sides of this alliance, looking to the future. No matter what your
background, this book will give you a solid foundation in graphic design
and layout issues as well as a full grounding in the powerful database
integration features that Dreamweaver MX offers.
The truth is that database integration is no more of an extra in today's
climate than faultless visual design, and this book is here to guide you
through this new world, covering dynamic scripting with PHP and the
popular MySQL database.
This book is suitable for both PC and Mac (OS X needed) platforms.
Whether a complete novice or a past user, after reading this book, youll
be fluent in the full breadth of Dreamweaver MX's powerful
functionality, a unique learning curve backed up by solid real-world
case studies and tutorials.
What this book covers:
- Site design and layout principles
- Using templates and Cascading Style Sheets to create advanced site
designs

applications
Dreamweaver MX makes this all possible, and Foundation Dreamweaver MX
makes it easier than you could have imagined.
