Macromedia Contribute 2 for Windows & Macintosh (Visual QuickStart Guide)

Editorial Review:

Ironically, while Web pages have become more flexible and capable over the past few years, Web creation tools have become increasingly more complex. Tom Negrino's Macromedia Contribute 2 for Windows and Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide, however, teaches those who are not Web experts how to build and maintain Web pages with Macromedia Contribute 2, which returns easy Web page editing to the many business and academic users for whom other Web creation tools have become too difficult to use effectively. With Contribute 2, anyone can add content to Web sites, without the possibility of accidentally breaking the site.

Now in its second edition, this visual, task-based reference has been revised to cover all of Contribute's newest features, including all-new Mac OS X compatibility; improved speed and user response; the ability to connect to sites securely; and Flash Paper, a new way to publish any document on the Web (Windows-only). New PayPal Merchant Tools let any small business owner add the ability to accept credit cards on their website with just a few clicks.

With the capable guidance of veteran Visual QuickStart author and Macworld contributing editor, Tom Negrino, you'll soon master how to build Web pages, edit page content, create tables, use Macromedia Dreamweaver templates, work with external documents, manage sites with Dreamweaver, customize Contribute, and more.

Like all Visual QuickStart Guides, this book is broken up into bite-sized tasks to help you solve problems and answer questions quickly. Whether you're a beginner looking to learn Contribute 2 from the ground up or an experienced user who just needs a quick refresher course on the product's newest features, Macromedia Contribute 2 for Windows and Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide is an all-access pass to just the information you need.
