With its powerful combination of visual layout tools, application development features, and code editing support, Dreamweaver MX 2004 is sure to become your tool of choice for creating and managing Web sites. This book offers the key to all of its magic. Sure, you could wade your way through a thousand-page tome to learn the ins and outs of every Dreamweaver feature, but as a Web developer or designer focused on deadlines, details, and putting across an effective message, what you really need is somebody else to do that work for you: to dig up the time-saving tips and shortcuts that will get you to your destination fast. Lucky for you, authors Joseph Lowery and Angela C. Buraglia have done just that, drawing on their own vast Dreamweaver experience to deliver a book that's nothing but those cool sidebar tips. In the process, they cover all of Dreamweaver MX 2004's new features: built-in image-editing technology that lets you edit your images without leaving Dreamweaver, painless cross-browser development, and more.

Get the most out of Dreamweaver:
I use Dreamweaver everyday and I consider myself a power user but I still learned a few things from these books (I also own the MX version). I love shortcuts and this book is full of them. Several of the tips included I already knew but there were plenty of new ones that made the purchase well worth it. Dreamweaver is a huge program and it is impossible to learn everything about it unless you use it day and night. If you just know the basics of Dreamweaver, this book will help you unlock all those hidden... more info
Fantastic tips, but not a definitive book:
I picked up this book several months ago, and I keep coming back to it. I have been using Dreamweaver for six years, and I still picked up lots of great tips in this book. It's great as a tip resource, and one that you will keep coming back to, and I highly recommend it for its content. My two complaints about it are related to each other: The titles of the tips and the organization within the chapters. In this book, there are tips called "Alias: The Dreamweaver Command" (for Clean Up HTML/XHTML),... more info
Scott Kelby Is Funny. These Guys Are Just Annoying.:
Do you have one of those uncles who thinks he's so-o-o-o-o funny, even when he's not? The kind of uncle who has to make a pun or other kind of word play every time he opens his mouth? Maybe you know the type. That's the feeling I got from this book...an unfunny, pathetic guy sitting around trying way too hard to be funny, and falling flat on his face 99% of the time. OK, so there are some good tips in here, but if writers Lowery and Buraglia had expended more time and energy clarifying their tips and a lot... more info
Disappointed:
I have a truckload of computer books and almost always check the user ratings on Amazon before spending the money and time on a computer book. I was in need of a helpful Dreamweaver MX book and bought Killer Tips based on the reviews. I wish now that I had gone with a different book, I get more out of the "Getting Started..." book that came with the software. There are some good tips in the book but they are very difficult to find. If you like the Scott Kelby's Killer Tips series then ignore this review and... more info
