The Dreamweaver CS3 Bible is available. Once again, this edition has special techniques in each chapter, to teach you how all of the main features work. There are also Captivate movies, on the included CD-ROM, that'll interactively walk you through each of the previously mentioned techniques. It's the most complete version of the Dreamweaver Bible and the best book out there to accompany Dreamweaver CS3. If you can't find a copy in your local bookstore then you can order one from Amazon.com, or another online retailer, and have it delivered right to your front door.

Derren Whiteman's online life began before the invention of the World Wide Web, when online communities were based around electronic bulletin board systems (BBS). He built Web sites "by hand", in the early days of the World Wide Web, and later took up modern tools after joining Mediafear, a San Francisco based Web design shop where he spent four years building dynamic Web sites for artists and musicians. Derren has also served as an Information Technology consultant and computer instructor, enabling individuals and small businesses to use technology to their greatest advantage.

Derren spends much of his time in technical publishing, helping to make today's Web building tools accessible to everyone. He co-wrote the Fireworks MX Bible (Wiley & Sons) with Joseph Lowery, served as Technical Editor for versions 3 and 4 of the Fireworks Bible (Wiley & Sons) and versions 4, MX, MX 2004, and 8 of the Dreamweaver Bible (Wiley & Sons). Other books that Derren has worked on include Mastering Dreamweaver 4 and Fireworks 4 (Sybex Inc.), Look & Learn Dreamweaver 4 (Wiley & Sons), and From FrontPage to Dreamweaver (Sams Publishing). Details regarding these titles can be found on the Books page of this site.
