Summary: Sloppy Editing Makes this a Real Bummer
Comment: This book is on par with many in the Dummie library. Too many times authors will rush to fill a need and forget the parameters of accurate reporting and authorship. I will not recommend this book to anyone unless you are prepared for a mountain of frustration especially when using the CD.

Since Macromedia bought Elemental Software, the creators of Drumbeat, I have been monitoring the Drumbeat forums. It seems that Macromedia has their hands full in supporting this product. There is no doubt that Drumbeat can be a killer application once the bugs are worked out and the product matures. ASP can be a complicated scripting language for which Drumbeat was meant to assist Web developers over the hurdles. The community is crying out for a first class book written on Drumbeat. You will not find it here.

Summary: RUN AND ENTER MACROMEDIA SITE !
Comment: MACROMEDIA HAS ANNOUNCED A NEW SOFTWARE RELEASE. DRUMBEAT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. THE NEW SOFTWARE CALLED DREAMWEAVER ULTRADEV, COMBINES DREAMWEAVER AND DRUMBEAT. SO THIS BOOK CAN GIVE YOU A GOOD IDEA BUT NOT ALL THE NECESSARY NOW.

Summary: The ONLY book EVER on Drumbeat 2000
Comment: As Macromedia have now announced how Drumbeat is going to evolve I understand the Teach Yourself book has been withdrawn. Having done the 'Getting Started' tutorial in Drumbeat and having read parts of the manual I was still unclear how the various Drumbeat concepts fit together - the contracts/activations/interactions. This book solved that quickly by walking me through sample applications, at first with the DataForm Wizard and then without. I did my first data-driven web application in a matter of hours!
