Dreamweaver 4 Bible

Amazon.com

There's a reason that Macromedia Dreamweaver appears on most Web developers' resumés: It offers both tremendous productivity and extensibility in a professional development environment. Dreamweaver 4 Bible covers this remarkable product from soup to nuts, guiding you through the basics of the program all the way to implementing sophisticated techniques.

Over 1,100 pages in length, Dreamweaver 4 Bible comes with a trial version of Dreamweaver 4, making it a one-purchase training resource for anyone looking to learn and master the product. A good chunk of the first portion of the book is devoted to providing the lay of Dreamweaver land and examining the development interface, configuration options, and effective use of the help system. Although one of Dreamweaver's strongest claims to fame is its ability to create fully functional Web sites with little or no HTML coding, the book wisely educates you on HTML basics nonetheless.

As your knowledge of Dreamweaver grows, the book's presentation style evolves. Early on, material is presented via discrete tasks, such as adding a navigation bar, adjusting font size, and adding an e-mail link. Later on, general techniques are discussed, such as using rollovers and exploiting cascading style sheets. All of the examples are accompanied by excellent narration, tips, notes, and pointers to examples on the CD-ROM. If you're diving into Dreamweaver, take the plunge using this fine resource. --Stephen W. Plain

Tries to do too much.......2002-12-09

I got this book after positive reviews on this website. It was my first foray into web design. Boy, did Lowery's approach get me off on the wrong foot.

Firstly, the writing is appalling. Here's are a few example (at random):

"The term cascading describes the capability of a local style to override a general style"

"Although you can design the most beautiful, compelling image possible in your graphics program, if it's intended for the Internet, you need to view it in a Web page."

"Checkboxes enable an option to be selected or deselected, so the only information that a function needs from a checkbox is whether it has been selected."

Argh! Why use 5 words when 15 will do? I also get the impression that Lowery is paraphrasing the Macromedia Tech guides. And his book is riddled with errors. Consider this howler:

"For instance, rather than just specifying Palatino - a sans serif font common on PC's but relatively unknown on the Mac - you could insert a tag such as the following ..."

Not only is Palatino a *serif* typeface, it has been included as a system Macintosh font since the 1980's - it's a default install on every Macintosh sold! I emailed Lowery about this, and to his credit he replied within 24 hours. His response?

"Okay - how about I change it to Verdana next time ;)"

Joseph, I think you're missing the point.

In his defence, the tone is paternal and he seems to be a well-meaning buffoon. But I've found the book terribly confusing and, after shelling out £40 for the doorstop, ended up getting most of my Dreamweaver help from the web.

I find it incredible that such a third rate manual gets published, let alone gets a high customer ranking. Steer clear, you can do better.

Good Reference Book.......2002-05-23

Whereas, this is NOT the book to use to teach you Dreamweaver, it is a good reference book. Joseph Lowery is a recognized expert with Macromedia Products and knows his stuff.

Lots of useful information.......2002-03-25

This book tries to be all things to all people and as such it includes basic stuff and quite advanced stuff. There's basic info about HTML (ie what's a

tag) which I skipped straight over but which a beginner would find useful (although there's plenty of other books that cover this material). For the more advanced user there's some great info on how to make your own Dreamweaver extensions, cross-browser compatibility issues, and incorporating the Beatnik plug-in into your pages to make interesting sound effects.

The accompanying CD-ROM is full of useful Dreamweaver extensions (although you could have downloaded these from various websites), as well as trial versions of Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash. Also included is the complete text of the book in PDF format.

From zero to "really competent".......2002-02-02

This is an excellent book for anyone who has never built a website but wants a complete approach to getting one up and running. But this book won't get you up and running with a whiz-bang, full multimedia website quickly. Instead, it will walk you through all the features of Dreamweaver and have you try out each one step-by-step. Flipping around the book helped me to learn the features I wanted to learn.

There is a Quickstart section that's supposed to get you up and running fast, but I found this section to be too deep too soon for what I wanted. I needed about 3 weeks of reading and practice before I could build something that was useful (I'm building an Intranet for the company I work at), and I will probably need another 2-3 months with this book before I can make my site do what I want it to do. Nonethelss, I have received a lot of compliments for what I now have.

I think that after getting through this book (in the 2-3 months) I will be "really competent". Becomming an expert will take more time. But that's the way it is with any software book. Nobody becomes an programming or website expert quickly from a book. Just practice!

There is also a full-featured 30-day trial of Dreamweaver on the CD, a definate plus.

Easy, Powerful, and FUN!.......2001-10-18

Start off knowing nothing about web design and a few days later know it all! This book is packed full of easy-to-understand examples and powerful hints and tips. I've read a lot of computer-related books in my day and I've never seen a book layed out any better. It's so easy to comprehend and follow. And the best part is....you'll have a FUN time learning unlike a lot of other software programs.

Book Description

From the author of the bestselling Dreamweaver Bible comes an indispensable insider's guide to the hot new software for interactive database-driven Web pages - the completely revamped Macromedia version of Drumbeat, built with Dreamweaver at its core, that lets Web designers output Active Server Pages, Java Server Pages, or Coldfusion pages. The CD-ROM features Macromedia tryouts, plug-ins, and more.

Customer Reviews:

This is an ULTADEV Book not a web design book.......2002-04-10

There are many reviewers here who are giving this book a poor review unjustly. People are complaining that this book skips basics and "doesn't explain how to create a rollover graphic".

If you are looking for a web graphics instruction then this isnt the book you should have purchased in the first place. It is NOT the authors fault you bought the wrong tool for the job.

However, if you are looking for a book on how to use Dreamweaver UltraDev and use Databases to build dynamic web pages then I highly recommend this book. It starts with very basic database connectivity and goes through advance database driven sites.

Keep in mind... This book deals with Database Web design FIRST. If you do not know web design or how to create or import a graphic, build tables, work with layers, etc., you should probably back up and start with the basics first.

If you are comforatable with your web design and would like to add database content (which is very versatile by the way) this is one of the best books on UltraDev

Not useful for learning about Database connection.......2002-01-31

Well there's Dreamweaver and then there's Dreamweaver UltraDev. Yes UltraDev does all the things Dreamweaver does but it was developed with database development as the focus. So why it is that this author hardly touches on the subject of databases? Hello...get this man some extra chapters.

Quite frankly, you'd be lost if you used this book as your database to web learning source. This is a Dreamweaver book not an UltraDev book.

If your looking to develop web databases using UltraDev there are far better books on the market.

Bag buying this...

Big book with lots of refrence.......2002-01-29

This bible series assumes a lot of things that you have a little expeience with how this program works, but would like to know more or just about everything for that matter. If you are a beginner and don't even know how to create rollover images in your favorite graphics program you shouldn't be using Ultradev. Try just using standard Dreamweaver. Ultradev deals with things like ASP, and CSS that the average newbie homepage builder will never use, stuff like Ecommerce. You didn't buy this I assume you probably downloaded this program Warez style. If you don't know essentially what a program does it's useless isn't it? Try Ultradev for dummies if you really want to learn(I think there is on for Ultradev). The dummies series is great the teach a basis or framework for understanding that is easily learned and basic, then try to grasp the thing as a whole after you have tryed some beginner readings and experince with the program. The bible series is not for beginners, they are great big refrence books. Most Macromedia programs come with tutorials anyway, if you want how to learn the programs. That's your best bet, hands on learning, and it's free.

Unuseable tutorial.......2002-01-18

I gave up on this book at chapter 2. Why? Well, the author said "Create a rollover in Fireworks or your favorite graphics program." Who said I know how to create rollovers? If I knew that what good is this program to me? I happen to have Fireworks but haven't learned it yet. So I went to the Fireworks manual to look up when it teaches rollovers: chapter 16! I then tried to import a rollover that Fireworks includes but it wouldn't go into Dreamweaver. The author seems so bent on showing off his prowess that he forgets that we beginners don't know anything. And I check the targeted audience: Beginner to Advanced! My suggestion: (1) Though Macromedia sells Dreamweaver and Dreamweaver UltraDev, these are, from a learning perspective two different programs and you have to learn Dreamweaver before approaching UltraDev; (2) Buy Dreamweaver 4 Hands-On-Training by Lynda Weinman and Garo Green. That book is great!

According to Jim Rogers, "commodities get no respect." Here are a few reasons why he thinks they should: they are easier to comprehend and study than stocks and behave more rationally since they are subject to the basic laws of supply and demand; they have outperformed many other investment options in recent years; it is foolish to ignore an entire sector of the marketplace; and a bull market is currently under way in commodities--a trend that Rogers expects to last for a least a decade longer. Further, Rogers believes that you cannot be a successful investor in stocks, bonds, or currencies without an understanding of commodities. Hot Commodities: How Anyone Can Invest Profitably in the World's Best Market is designed to introduce the novice to the basics of investing in commodities as well as explain what they are and why they are important. In doing so, he shatters some myths about the relative risks of commodities, explains the relationship between the stock and commodities markets, and provides a succinct analysis and history of the global oil, gold, lead, sugar, and coffee markets.

Rogers also offers practical advice and information for beginners, including the best resources, how to read the commodities reports in the newspaper or on television, the various ways to open an account, information on index funds (such as Rogers' own index fund that he started in 1998), mechanisms, terminology, and other vital details people must know before investing. Clearly written and entertaining, Hot Commodities offers a solid introduction to investments that many people, including financial advisors, fail to give the proper respect. --Shawn Carkonen

Book Description

The next bull market is here. It’s not in stocks. It’s not in bonds. It’s in commodities –and some smart investors will be riding that bull to record returns in the next decade.

Before Jim Rogers hit the road to write his bestselling books Investment Biker and Adventure Capitalist, he was one of the world’s most successful investors. He cofounded the Quantum Fund and made so much money that he never needed to work again. Yet despite his success, Rogers has never written a book of practical investment advice–until now.

In Hot Commodities, Rogers offers the lowdown on the most lucrative markets for today and tomorrow. In 1998, gliding under the radar, a bull market in commodities began. Rogers thinks it’s going to continue for at least fifteen years–and he’s put his money where his mouth is: In 1998, he started his own commodities index fund. It’s up 165% since then, with more than $200 million invested, and it’s the single-best performing index fund in the world in any asset class. Less risky than stocks and less sluggish than bonds,, commodities are where the money is–and will be in the years ahead. Rogers’s strategies are simple and straightforward. You can start small–a few thousand dollars will suffice. It’s all about putting your money into stuff you understand, the basic materials of everyday life, like coal, sugar, cotton, corn, or crude oil. Once you recognize the cyclical and historical trading patterns outlined here, you’ll be on your way.

In language that is both colorful and accessible, but Rogers explains why the world of commodity investing can be one of the simplest of all–and how commodities are the bases by which investors can value companies, markets, and whole economies. To be a truly great investor is to know something about commodities.

For small investors and high rollers alike, Hot Commodities is as good as gold . . . or lead, or aluminum, which are some of the commodities Rogers says could be as rewarding for investors.

Good info.......2007-08-14

The book is well written,Jim is very knowledgeable and gives ways in which anyone can invest in commodities. He explains a complicated subject in laymans terms. He also describes the world today and how politics and logistics come into play, a fascinating book.

Good overall intro but don't expect to make a trade after reading it.......2007-07-27

Before reading this book, I barely knew how to spell commodities, much less trade them. This book gives a good high-level introduction to what the commodities market is all about and attempts to get you jazzed about the market for the coming decade. After reading the book, you'll be able to understand the commodity trading lingo and know how to read prices, but will not have enough information (nor the confidence) to make your first trade. It lacks thorough details concerning trading in general, fundamental analysis of futures, and direction on creating a trading plan. I'm currently reading Trading Commodities & Financial Futures by George Kleinman which goes into much better detail of these subjects. I certainly got a better handle on trading by reading Hot Commodities, but it's a bit novice, even for a novice.

Rating Jim Rogers.......2007-07-03

As a result of Jim Rogers, I've actually changed a substantial part of my portfolio. However, this is an endorsement of Jim Rogers, and not the book, "Hot Commodities." I knew no more after reading the book than I did after hearing and seeing him on TV. The message could have been summed up in about ten pages, not 255.

cheap introduction to fundamental analysis.......2007-06-15

The author gives some of his logic why he believes the commodities market is entering a bull market for maybe the next decade, then he follows this with some alternatives to the commodities market followed by the usual introduction about how the commodities markets function. Next he turns to showing how to think about the markets as a fundamentalist--he claims he is the world's worst trader. He talks about the impact of China on the markets, as contrasted with the impact of India and other Central Asian emerging economies (including Russia). Then he illustrates the fundamentalist logic for supply, demand and world politics and their influence on the prices for oil, gold (and lead), sugar and coffee. Along the way he mixes in some of his market experience and insights.

I find the value of the book primarily in his illustration of the kind to thinking and resources needed to perform fundamental analysis of the commodities market. And this is one of the cheapest books to cover the basics.

This book must be a prank.......2006-06-15

How else to explain that banks are brought down not by "rogue" traders but rather by "rouge" traders - is there a secret market for cosmetics derivatives? - that Switzerland has adopted the Euro, that a chart is described as listing a gain from 93 to 97 but only shows a gain of 93 to 95 etc., etc., etc ad nauseam.

In my eyes, this book is so pathetic that it is only a slight exaggeration to suggest that all those involved in the creation of this book should never be allowed to touch paper and pencil again.

How to implement and back test this concept ?.......2004-08-16

In theory the concept of parity is belieivable.But to implement it I guess one would need some really sophisticated tool and the book is not a practical guide to implement his concept. Even though book needs serious editing, someone academically inclined may find this book interesting.

Thanks Disappointed and Disgusted from Northern California.......2004-05-09

The author spends way too much time explaining basic economic indicators that should be basic knowledge for any investor. After I read another review that outlined the blundering editorial mistakes, I had to see for myself. All true! I cannot continue reading this text... How can anyone who makes this many conspicuous mistakes get a book deal much less be right about anything? Not worth the $70 price tag!

Great book to start with!.......2004-02-06

As the author of the book "Futures For Small Speculators" I tend to be very critical of books that discuss my industry. Although this book had a few editorial mistakes, Mr.Gotthelf still did a solid job of getting his point across. For a beginner this is a great start. For more indepth analysis I would go to Mr. Cornelius Luca's books.

Hastily slapped together, poorly written, sloppily edited.......2004-01-11

It appears that Gotthelf dictated much of this book into a tape recorder, some far-away typist created the manuscript, and nobody bothered to read or edit the final result. How else to explain that "Jim Ellis is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Oracle" on p.43 (I thought it was Larry Ellison)? These sorts of editorial lapses are rife throughout the book.

To name but a few examples, Fig 6.5 caption says "Cash Currency trading screen" but it's actually a bar chart of Yen futures (p.124)

The data for Figure 8.11 (a perpetual contracts bar chart of Yen) is presented with the caption of Figure 8.10 ("Soybeans futures monthly chart"). No soybeans chart is presented at all; instead, a Nikkei futures chart mysteriously appears (p. 212)

Figure 8.41 is printed upside down! (p.236). Honestly. This is perhaps the ultimate insult to the reader and ought to be a source of acute embarrassment to the editor and author.

Academy Award nominee James Caan, with two a's, will be amused to read p. 89 which states "... has been depicted in fiction such as the movie Rollerball starring James Cann" with two n's.

Those who buy the book believing it may deliver on the dustjacket's promise "How to trade the world's biggest market" will receive a disappointment. The only trading strategy Gotthelf reveals is "Go Long when price crosses above a moving average, Go Short when price crosses below a moving average." Then he regurgitates standard methods of creating a synthetic position using options. There is absolutely nothing new here.

No review would be complete without mentioning Gotthelf's mysterious concept of Parity. First he tells you it's "a ratio that always equals one" (page 24). Next he tells you "there are no exact relationships" in FOREX (page 32), leaving you to wonder how Parity could always equal one if there are no exact relationships. Then he muddles through two hundred more pages and eventually you, the reader, decode the fact (which Gotthelf never bothers to state exactly) that his "Parity" actually means "Equilibrium". Great. But where's the insight?

I own several other Wiley Finance books and all of them have wonderful quotes from important figures in the trading world, in the form of testimonials and gushing recommendations on the rear dustjacket. Kaufman's "Trading Systems and Methods" has five, Hill and Pruitt's "The Ultimate Trading Guide" has four, Ryan Jones's "The Trading Game" has five, Sweeney's "Maximum Adverse Excursion" has three, et cetera ad nauseum. But this currency book by Gotthelf has exactly zero quotes on the dustjacket. No recommendations, no congratulations, no endorsements. I suggest you follow the advice of everyone who DIDN'T write a recommendation for Gotthelf's book: stay away.

To my very surprise, this book is nothing about trading, but the opinion of senior Exchange executives about the future of Exchanges. If you are a floor trader, you might be interested to know what technology, globalization and govt regulations will affect your job. Otherwise, you will find this book of zero value. The title is definitely misleading. It should be management of the futures exchange, categorized under business management.

Guide to World Commodity Markets : Physical, Futures and Opt.......2000-06-07

I feel this book is a valuable aid for the futures speculator but only when it comes to certain things. The first thing that comes to mind is the last section of the book "World Directory of Commodity markets". In this section a huge # of Commodity exchanges are listed with vital facts such as: commodities traded, contract size, hours of the day the commodity is traded, and how to reach the exchange. Exchanges range from places like Bolsa Brasiliera de Futuros in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil to the Chicago Board of Trade. This section is valuable and comprehensive. The first two sections of the book gave some info on individual commodities such as Sugar and Silver but I did not find this information to be anything exceptional or extremely usefull. I wish the last third of this book was sold by itself for a third of the price.
