Summary: The book is great... the video was decent
Comment: If you are new to Dreamweaver, or have been struggling with it, this is the best book written to date. Formatted as a learning book, rather than a bible, it takes you through enough information to get you started. There are, however, too many features of DW to print without resorting to a strait reference book so when you finish this, you'll still have plenty to learn.
I actually went through this book using Dreamweaver Ultradev 4, so if you don't want to wait for their new version you should be fine. As a PC user, it was slightly annoying looking at screenshots from a macintosh all of the time, but it didn't cause a problem.
As for the fireworks video... I can say that I learned a great deal about the program, there's no denying that. The pace tended to waver a bit, meaning that he would talk overly slow about one step, then gloss right over the next. This only caused me a problem when I was following along in Fireworks with him. As with the book, all examples are presented on a Macintosh. Had I known, I probably would have purchased the bundle anyway, but I must admit it was more than a little annoying, not because I'm a PC snob or anything, but just hearing two different instructions over and over... Regardless, I struggled with several fireworks books until this video. It got me up and going... now I have to find a source for more detailed information...

Summary: The best way to learn Fireworks
Comment: I was struggling with Fireworks until I got the CD in this training bundle. Garo Green does an excellent job of walking you through the many features of Fireworks. The quick-time movie of the computer screen makes each lesson very easy to follow. I watched the whole thing, and then I go back to each topic I want to learn, watch that topic, and then go and do it.
The most valuable thing about the CD is the comments you would never get from a book. Garo Green tells you which features he uses 95% of the time, which settings he prefers for optimization, etc. This really helped me. I am able to optimize and export images in about two minutes now. Fireworks is a program with more than one way to do a task like optimization, exporting, rollovers, etc. I was always going back and forth between two chapters of a book to try to figure out which was the best way. Thankfully, this CD put an end to that confusion!
The time I have saved and the amount of work I am able to accomplish made the purchase of the CD a very good investment. We will also be using the CD for training the other two people in my office.
Fireworks is a lot more efficient than photoshop when it comes to web graphics and images, and I am delighted to be able to get up to speed in Fireworks thanks to this training CD.

Summary: great book
Comment: this is a greak package in my opinion it goes through the steps of mastering dreamweaver and fireworks very well. apart from giving enough information for the biginer to grasp web design techinques and the basics of how to use the programs there is perfect step by step instructions. I was very confident of using both programs after i was through with the package.The only complaint i have is that it tends to get long winded at times, as it will be for people who have experience with other similar web design tool or html. otherwise it is a fantastic book.
