Introduction


What's Inside, Part by Part

If you're new to Dreamweaver MX, read Part I, "Getting Up to Speed with Dreamweaver MX." In this part of the book, Chapters 1, 2, 3 and 4 provide a solid foundation for understanding other concepts in the book.

Part II, "Static Web Page Creation," covers some advanced topics, such as tables, forms, and framesets. If you're a programmer, understanding the basics of forms (see Chapter 6, "HTML Forms") in particular will be very handy to know. Whether you're a designer or a developer, understanding Dreamweaver MX's productivity tools and especially templates and layers is also covered in Chapter 8, "Dreamweaver Templates," and Chapter 11, "Layers in Dreamweaver."

Developers and designers who are building media-rich sites should concentrate on Part III, "Adding Interactivity." The chapters in this part of the book cover DHTML, Flash, Shockwave, and integrating images and other media into the Web sites you're building.

New and experienced developers alike will benefit from Part IV, "Introduction to Web Applications." Although there is some introductory material (such as Chapter 16, "Introduction to Web Applications"), Chapter 17, "Web Application Preparation," provides detailed installation and configuration instructions for popular Web servers and middleware/database packages.

After you've read the material in Part IV, deepen your understanding of development in Dreamweaver MX by reading Part V, "Behaviors and Middleware." Chapters cover ASP (Chapter 22, "ASP and ASP.NET"), JSP (Chapter 23, "JSP"), and PHP (Chapter 24, "PHP and MySQL").

After you understand how Dreamweaver MX works with a development environment, read Part VI, "Database-Driven Pages," for further understanding of database technologies and how they operate in a Web application environment.

Part VII, "Appendixes," consists of various detailed appendixes on accessibility and other topics that are at the forefront of today's Web development world.
