*Functions as two books in one: twelve tutorials chapters combined with thorough reference to XHTML and CSS syntax. *"Integrates design, theory, and practical exercises"—working on a modular basis, just as a real-world designer must. *Each chapter is self-contained, enabling readers to dip in and out and learn specific techniques, without necessarily reading through the entire book.

It shows readers how to master the full range of Dreamweaver's tools and techniques while working on a single, enhanced and revised project.

* This book is unique in its stance of the Mac as a platform for web development. Mac OS books are either low-level Dummies/VQS-style references on using the interface or the entirely separate market of writing software and applications for the Mac OS. This book is ideally placed to appeal to tap into the merging job role of the web developer/designer.
