    Hi,

    I really don’t know how to design website. Now I am ready to learn how to use dreamweaver to design website.

    So I am asking for your assistance to tell me the best training guide or software training guide that can help someone like me learn dreamweaver.

    Thanks.

    Dreamweaver itself has some excellent tutorials, other than that search for tutorials on the web. There are some excellent starter books available, I would recommend Simple Steps Series 'Complete Macromedia Handbook' (although I believe Adobe now owns DW!)

    Other than that the best thing is to just have a go! and keep trying!
    Also you may want to get the odd web design magazine, such as .net, Practical Web Design, Computer Arts, etc

    ozim, nothing beats experience, so make sure you start making some webpages and train, test and read tutorials. Wouldn't hurt to go through the manual as well.

    I tried the Lynda.com's tutorials. They are very useful for beginners. They are quite long, so you need to really commit a good amount of time in front of computer and learn this stuff.

    Having said that, Dreamweaver is only a tool that makes your work a bit easier and smoother. It does not substitute good coding and design. If you know HTML and CSS well, you can get away with NotePad or some simple text editors. Good luck!

    Dreamweaver is a WYSIWYG. You shouldn't need training for the visual. As for training in programming of websites, I would recommend W3C Schools. Also, I used to take designs in visual and edit the code and see what they did and then ask on forums what I was doing wrong. I learned everything I know from forums.

    That's all good in theory, unfortunately, it's not that easy in practice :)

    I think here you can find your desired videos :

    http://www.computer-training-software.com/dreamweaver-mx.htm

    They are really good, but they only have one problem, customer support isn't fast enough. :(

    In all reality what you use is based on what you like in a Text Editor.
