Dreamweaver CC: The Missing Manual: Covers 2014 Release - Paperback

by David Sawyer McFarland (Author), Chris Grover (Author)

Dreamweaver CC is a powerful tool for designing all kinds of websites, from those with simple, static pages to interactive, media-driven sites for desktop, laptop, and mobile devices. But the program still doesn't include a printed guide to its amazing capabilities. That's where this Missing Manual comes in. With hands-on tutorials and coverage of every feature, you'll learn to build, deploy, and manage sites whether you're an experienced designer or just getting started.

The important stuff you need to know:

• Dive into page design. Quickly learn the basics of working with text, images, links, and tables.
• Edit pages in Live view. Dynamically add elements to live pages and immediately see the results.
• Design once, and for all. Build fluid-grid sites that adapt themselves to desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
• Troubleshoot your HTML. Use the new Element Quick View to reveal the hierarchy of page elements.
• Style with ease. Tap Dreamweaver's enhanced CSS Designer to copy and paste styles.
• Enhance Dreamweaver. Get new program features with add-ons that integrate directly with Dreamweaver.
• Bring your pages to life. Use jQuery UI to add interactive page elements like tabbed content panels.
• Create universal pages. Avoid browser incompatibility with workarounds.
