What you’ll find inside
Adobe Dreamweaver Classroom in a Book (2021 release) by James J. Maivald is a project-based guide to creating and publishing web pages with Dreamweaver. It moves from workspace setup and markup foundations to the parts of a site that learners can build, style, organize and prepare for publication. The release year helps readers match the book with a course or installed software version.
Learn web-authoring foundations
The chapter sequence introduces the Dreamweaver workspace, HTML basics, CSS and working with code. It then connects those foundations to web-design concepts, page layouts and reusable templates. Later topics include text, lists, tables, images and navigation, followed by publishing a site. The contents also identify a mobile-design lesson in the online material, so readers should check the product details before expecting any companion content.
Use the book to practice a site workflow
Beginners can follow the lessons from basic markup toward a complete web page, using each chapter to practice one part of the workflow. Learners with prior HTML or CSS experience may use the contents to locate focused help with templates, images or navigation. The book is a learning aid; it does not replace current web standards, accessibility checks or software documentation.

This is the second edition purchased. Dreamweaver, like all software, is constantly being updated, so this is a good way to catch up. The order of the chapters have canged (compared to 2018 edition), and the examples are all refreshed so I felt it well worth the money to upgrade. For me, an improvement would be to have a chapter that takes you through the basics of designing a website from scratch. The ebook deals with different aspects in each chapter, so I find it hard to keep it all in my head!

This ebook is good for those who are new to Dreamweaver. The illustrations are good and so are the explanations on how to use the program.

Sometimes the writer jumps around like he is skipping good in parts not in others
