Macromedia Dreamweaver MX Dynamic Applications: Advanced Training from the Source

by JeffreyBardzell (Author)

Synopsis

As a designer himself, author Jeffrey Bardzell is keenly aware of the dilemma you're faced with today: With clients and users demanding more than the static, HTML pages that defined first-generation Web sites, you have no choice but to migrate to dynamic, service based sites. But that means a world of programming, servers, databases, and configuration options you know little about. Not to worry: Dynamic Macromedia Dreamweaver MX: Advanced Training from the Source has you covered.

Through the graphics-intensive, self-paced tutorials that form the heart of this popular series, Bardzell takes you through everything you need to know to start designing dynamic, database-driven sites using the powerful new tools available in Macromedia Dreamweaver MX. And unlike other books, this one assumes no prior knowledge of programming or database concepts, terms, and techniques. If you've ever created static HTML pages, you'll be able to dive right in with tutorials that cover configuration options, programming basics, Macromedia Dreamweaver MX's server behaviors, and connecting to databases-all in the context of overhauling a static HTML site into a dynamic, maintainable business application, with code you can use in your own projects!

Book Overview:

As the Web has evolved, designers accustomed to working with static HTML are suddenly finding themselves forced to migrate to dynamic sites that serve up customized content on the fly. Although they may have the tools to make this transition (namely Macromedia Dreamweaver MX), they don't necessarily have the vocabulary or skills to put them to work. Enter Dynamic Macromedia Dreamweaver MX: Advanced Training from the Source. Developers of static Web sites who are familiar with HTML as well as Dreamweaver MX's design and layout tools will find everything they need here to enter the world of object-oriented programming, servers, and database connection. Over the course of this book, readers transform a static Web site into a maintainable, dynamic site using Dreamweaver MX. Along the way, they learn about best coding practices, server-side scripting, displaying database contents on the Web, Macromedia Dreamweaver MX's powerful new application development tools, and more-all through the graphics-intensive, self-paced tutorials that have made the Training from the Source series so popular. Plus the accompanying CD includes all of the book's graphics, code, and database files to get readers started right away.
