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!

Author's errata site
Creating a coldFusion DSN in Windows 98 and ME
Cover: The system requirements on the back cover say "You will need access to a ColdFusion or ASP.NET server." This is wrong. It should read "You will need access to a ColdFusion or ASP server."
In Lesson 6, Windows XP users receive the following error:
HTTP 500.100 - Internal Server Error - ASP error
Internet Information Services
------------------------------------------------------------- Technical Information (for support personnel)
Error Type:
Server object, ASP 0177 (0x800401F3)
Invalid class string
/newland/messageSent.asp, line 10
This error occurs because Windows XP no longer supports CDONTS. A solution will be posted at this site shortly.
In the meantime, please continue to Lesson 7, as the problem here does not affect any other part of the Newland site or the book. Sorry for the inconvenience.
