    Any good books on Dreamweaver CS3 yet?

    Nickels55 Community Member
      I went to amazon and searched this forum before asking, but I haven't found any good solutions.

      My goal is to learn about the new SPRY widgets. I already know CSS and Flash, and now I really just want to learn more about using Dreamweaver.

      From reading reviews:
      Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 Classroom in a Book - sucks! Full of errors. Not worth the price
      Dreamweaver CS3 Bible - not reviewed, but his book on Dreamweaver 8 appears to be fantastic
      Dreamweaver CS3 For Dummies - c.r.a.p.
      Dreamweaver CS3: The Missing Manual - again no reviews, but his book on Dreamweaver 8 got 5 stars. This book isn't out yet.

      Does anyone have any other advice or do I just wait for The Missing Manual to get published?

          I would .. although as one of the technical editors, I might be a bit
          biased. Seriously, though David McFarland is excellent .. his books are
          always among the best. In the meantime, Devnet and places like the DMXZone
          are publishing articles already and those will give you a good start.

            My book, "The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3 with CSS, Ajax, and
            PHP" goes to the printers next week. It contains three chapters on Spry
            widgets, one on Spry effects, and two on Spry data sets. It's due to be
            published on 23 July.
