The ideal reader is one who has been designing Web sites with Dreamweaver for a while and wants to create one of the supplied Web applications. However, we realize it is far from an ideal world, and so hopefully we've provided enough tools that even a Web designer new to Dreamweaver can use the book. Further, the desire for a specific application is not paramount. This book is written in such a way as to offer general methods and ways of working as well as specific instructions.

Although the applications have uses in many areas, this book will prove especially useful to those working in intranets and small workgroups. We've structured the example applications so that they are flexible and, in server jargon, scalable. Developers can take these applications as they are and, by changing a logo or two, use them immediatelyor they can repurpose and extend the substantial base of code, saving time and resources.
