Book Description
Why reinvent the wheel every time you design a new Web site? With this book, you don't have to. By providing real-world recipes for building dynamic Web applications using Dreamweaver with ASP, ColdFusion, or PHP, this book shows you how to save time and money while focusing on the things that make your site unique. In these pages, a trio of Dreamweaver experts provides reusable recipes for User Login, Employee Lookup, Conference Room Scheduler, Survey Builder, In/Out Board, Time Card, Journal, and E-Mail Merge. Included are thorough explanations of all of Dreamweaver MX 2004's new features: dynamic cross-browser validation, improved CSS support, built-in graphics editing, secure FTP, tighter integration with other Macromedia tools, enhanced coding tools, and more. Each recipe includes discussions of application structure, database components, data binding concerns, and application-specific issues. The end result is a collection of recipes for Dreamweaver success that you'll find yourself using again and again.
