By the time you view the last of the movies in this tutorial you will have a solid understanding of all of Dreamweaver's most important and useful features, you will be familiar enough with the application to start building your own webpages and websites.

The course starts with a thorough overview of the Dreamweaver application interface including Dreamweaver's important windows, panels and interface components, I also cover how to set up a Dreamweaver site and cover in detail how to use the file and site management tools to avoid the problems that many beginners experience in their first handful of Dreamweaver sites. You'll learn how to add and format text both in list form and paragraph format. And how to layout pages using tables as well as AP DIVs. You'll learn how to insert and edit various media elements from other members of the Adobe Creative Suite including Photoshop, Flash, and Fireworks. Next you'll get a thorough introduction on how to format page elements using CSS and how to layout pages with positioning CSS.
