Living Examples

This book is designed to get your work onto the Web faster and more professionally; it’s only natural, then, that half the value of this book also lies on the Web.

As you read the book’s chapters, you’ll encounter a number of living examples—step-by-step tutorials you can build yourself, using raw materials (like graphics and half-completed web pages) that you can download from either www.sawmac.com/dwCS5/ or from this book’s “Missing CD” page; to get to the latter, go to the Missing Manuals home page (www.missingmanuals.com), click the Missing CD link, scroll down to Dreamweaver CS5: The Missing Manual, and then click the link labeled “Missing CD.”

You might not gain very much from simply reading these step-by-step lessons while relaxing in your porch hammock. But if you take the time to work through them at the computer, you’ll discover that these tutorials give you unprecedented insight into the way professional designers build Web pages.

You’ll also find, in this book’s lessons, the URLs of the finished pages, so that you can compare your Dreamweaver work with the final result. In other words, you won’t just see pictures of Dreamweaver’s output in the pages of the book; you’ll find the actual, working web pages on the Internet.
