the power of an industry-standard Web publishing tool to create online

Help systems for Web, Java, or cross-platform applications.
* Use Dreamweaver features to efficiently manage large projects, and to

You will receive a course workbook, sample exercises on CD, and a set of
customized Dreamweaver templates, library items, and style sheets that you
can use in your own projects.
