Mastering Dreamweaver MX Databases provides in-depth instruction and tutorials for designers and developers looking to create data-driven web pages with Dreamweaver MX. Where most books on this topic cover one or two databases, this title covers all major databases, languages, and development platforms, including Access, SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, ColdFusion, JSP, ASP, ASP.NET, and ADO.NET.

Instead of spending valuable time and pages teaching designers fundamentals you already know -- basic Dreamweaver functionality and the aesthetics of dynamic pages -- the authors assume you have a working knowledge of these basics. This allows them to stay focused on what many designers don't already know -- how to access and use databases to make dynamic web sites.

Database newcomers will appreciate the thorough discussion of database design while intermediate and advanced developers will benefit from the detailed explanations of connections, scripting, forms, security, e-commerce, and useful Dreamweaver Extensions. Throughout the book you'll find examples of scripts, HTML pages, and database tables; files for these are included on the CD.
