August 18, 2009: This book is great for the beginner Adobe program user but would not really apply to the more advanced user. I found it helped me solve a couple of problems and I enjoy reading it, but I really need something that is much more in depth. The book, "Dreamweaver: The Missing Manual" is a great book for those who have some experience with Dreamweaver and has a lot of creative ideas. It was written for CS3 but still is great for CS4, which is what I have. I would recommend this book over the Dummies book unless you are a novice.
I Also Recommend: Dreamweaver CS3 (The Missing Manual Series).
