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!
