Murachs Dreamweaver CC 2014

With Dreamweaver CC, you can go from staring at a blank screen to launching your first website without writing any code and without ever leaving the program!

All the tools you need are there. But any program that's so comprehensive is going to be complex.

So the trick is mastering what all of the program's windows, panels, toolbars, and web technologies do and then incorporating all that with the design skills that you need to create your own websites.

That's where this book comes in. In contrast to other Dreamweaver books, it integrates all of the skills that you need to build inviting, standards-compliant, and accessible websites. And it uses a proven instructional approach that makes all the pieces manageable. So you will learn how to: install and configure Dreamweaver CC; generate the HTML and CSS for a page in a way that's consistent with today's best practices (that includes the use of HTML5 semantics, external style sheets, and CSS3) interpret the generated code so you can tweak it as needed; use JavaScript and jQuery to enhance the user experience with interactive features; use responsive web design to create sites that look great and work right on any device; incorporate video and audio into your web pages without the use of plug-ins; use templates and library items to save time and build consistent web pages; launch your finished sites with a minimum of fuss and more!

Along the way, you will get dozens of practical examples and exercises that will solidify your skills and serve as guides as you develop your own sites.
