Designers in this position might consider themselves strangers in a strange land. Not only are the natives speaking a different language (or worse, languages), but they also appear to have come from an entirely separate culture. Where in this world, designers ask, do I start?We createdMacromediaDreamweaver MX 2004 Web Application Recipes, in part, to answer just that question. Inside this book, you'll find eight full-featured, professional-grade Web applications explained step-by-step. Best of all, we make it possible for you to build the applications as you learn. This feature serves two goals. First, in our experience, people learn best by doing, and they retain the gained knowledge even longer when they're doing something meaningful.This brings us to our second goal: providing solutions. Beginning developers often find themselves in a sink-or-swim situation where they need to produce workable Web applications in a relatively short time. The Web applications included in this book are rooted in the real world and are suitable for small- to medium-sized organizations. They're real working applications that you can use today; they're not just make-work tutorials.Another over-arching purpose of this book is to help you get the most out of Dreamweaver. The latest version of Dreamweaver is a powerful professional Web authoring tool that can create the full range of static and dynamic Web sites. Right out of the box, Dreamweaver gives you the tools to fashion a wide range of Web applications without ever looking at, much less enhancing, the code. However, the point-and-click approach will only take you so far and, sooner than later, you'll need to work on the code level to get the desired results.MacromediaDreamweaver MX 2004 Web Application Recipesis--like Web applications themselves--a blend of design and code, with every step along the way explained so that you understand not just what to do, but why you're doing it.
