Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Bible Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Bible is just that, a thorough understanding including hands-on tutorials using DW CS5 and understanding all of its capabilities in website development - static and dynamic sites (which are extensive). I was disappointed that the downloadable exercise files for the chapters on dynamic sites were .asp and not .php. Reduced the value of that part of the book for me, but perhaps the author and publisher plan to fix that. I also think the size of the book is so unnecessarily unwieldy. Still, between this book and the CS5 missing manual, I can't imagine more comprehensive and user-friendly treatments getting you up and running exploiting the many useful features of the latest DW for developing websites.

Flash Mobile: Developing Android and iOS Applications (Visualizing the Web) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a Flash developer for a well recognized Flash development firm. I am currently developing apps for the iPad using the iPhone packager. This book is the most basic one I have read from all three books that are out there in the market for IOS development using Flash. I think at the time the author wrote the book, he did not understand the underlying problems you face when trying to deploy AIR-based apps into the iOS environment. I believe you should buy the Dolce or Wagner books as they seem to know what the basic limitations are on the iPhone Packager for Flash.
