The 50 techniques detailed in this book are organized into 10 chapters. You can read them
in any order and jump right into the ones that you are most interested in putting to use

not need to learn something from an earlier technique to be able to complete a later one.
However, the first two chapters are designed to ease you into things (if that’s your preference).

Chapters 1 and 2 cover some of the simpler techniques so that you can enjoy instant
gratification and pick up some of the basics (or get a quick refresher course) before you
progress into the more complex techniques that make Dreamweaver such a powerful Web
design tool.All three authors have drawn on real-world experience, including their favorite features and elements to show you how to create powerful features that really work on the Web today.We assume that you have some general knowledge of Dreamweaver, but within each section we explain everything you need to know to complete that technique and get it done fast. So dive into Chapter 1 or skip ahead to any chapter and get started right away on that cool feature you always wanted to add to your Web page.
