Preface The New Perspectives Series’ critical-thinking, problem-solving approach is the ideal way to prepare students to transcend point-and-click skills and take advantage of all that Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 has to offer. In developing the New Perspectives Series, our goal was to create books that give students the software concepts and practical skills they need to succeed beyond the classroom. We’ve updated our proven case-based pedagogy with more practical content to make learning skills more meaningful to students. With the New Perspectives Series, students understand why they are learning what they are learning, and are fully prepared to apply their skills to real-life situations. “The new Visual About This Book Overviews give students valuable insight into what This book provides complete, hands-on coverage of the new Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 software: they will learn in each • Presents a case-based, problem-solving approach to learning Adobe Dreamweaver CS5. tutorial session.

If students use a different operating system or browser, their screens might differ from those in the book. With some Windows servers, the Dreamweaver built-in FTP client might give continuous or intermittent errors. If these errors occur, students should double-check the remote and test server configuration settings, and review the following documents on the Adobe site: http://go.adobe.com/kb/ ts_kb405912_en-us and http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14841.
