Foundation Dreamweaver UltraDev 4
The latest version of Macromedia's Dreamweaver
UltraDev is the premier visual solution package for designers who
want to create truly dynamic web applications. The UltraDev 4
platform gives you the power and flexibility to build web sites
without having to get your hands dirty with code. Previously
code-centric topics such as database access and manipulation,
creating and verifying user logins and the usage of shopping carts
on web sites can now be fully integrated into your page designs to
create a seamless marriage of style and
substance.
If you think the prospect
of using Dreamwever in an interactive environment is appealing, but
sounds a little too much like hardcore programming, worry no
further. This is a book for designers. It will enable you to build
dynamic content into your site without having to become a full-time
programmer. As a Foundation book, the chapter tutorials are
self-contained and aimed at the beginner. If you are a Dreamweaver
user and want to extend your skills into e-commerce and other
data-driven web applications, this is the book for you.
Who is this Book
for?
Foundation Dreamweaver UltraDev
gives you the skills from the designer's point of view, if you are a
Dreamweaver user and want to extend your skills into e-commerce and
other data-driven web applications, have experience of creating
websites and wish to make those sites dynamic, interactive and
engaging to your visitors or you are a developer who wants to make
the most of this sophisticated productivity tool and take full
advantage of the renowned Dreamweaver interface.
Note: "No Macs - sorry" - The
most common model used for UltraDev is ASP with VBScript. This is
probably the easiest model to use and has been utilised for the
majority of exercises in this book, although there is some coverage
on other models towards the end of the book. ASP is a Microsoft
product, which means that the book is based around a PC/Windows
user.
The Foundation series is based
on a fully detailed practical tutorial basis and to ensure that this
continues, we've concentrated on the PC user.
What does this book cover?
friends of ED's books are always focused on the needs of
you, the designer. As such, our books look at subjects from a design
point of view. Sit back as we take you through the information you
need to become an UltraDev wizard:
interface essentials, core components and techniques,
step-by-step tutorial on building a fully functional e-commerce
site, the skills to quickly and easily take control of your dynamic
web pages and the knowledge to add back-end functionality to your
projects.
By the end of this book,
you will be fully equipped with the skills you need to give your web
sites real impact, so you can really make your mark in the field of
web design.

4 Star review
"If you need to design a database - supported web site and
familiarise yourself with Dreamweaver, this book will enable you to
program the code needed to produce slick web pages without
relinquishing any design skills.
This manual focuses on the UltraDevelement of the
Macromedia package. You will learn plenty of code, but this is
always in context and well explained. Instead of wondering how
something seems to work, you actually know. Each module builds on
the last until you have a complete set of skills that will enable
you to program your web site and database links effortlessly. If
you're designing with an ASP environment in mind, this is the
perfect book to show you how."
