Adobe GoLive CS2 Tips and Tricks Review by Mac Man
Highly recommended for all GoLive users
I have been using GoLive for over six years and was blown away by how much new information I learned from reading this book. Though I consider myself a veteran GoLive user, I found literally dozens of new GoLive capabilities in this book that I can't wait to use.
GoLive is a powerful and advanced Web development program. But because it is so packed with features, it is easy to miss many of the capabilities of the program. This book describes the important, but often overlooked features that you really should know about. These include designing with layers, using the Outline Editor, customizing syntax highlighting, saving commonly used colors, editing Smart Objects, and running site reports, just to name a few. There is also an entire section on using GoLive's CSS editor, which I found absolutely indispensable.
What I like most about the book is that the authors don't just list the features and point out where they are in the program. They explain in detail why you may want to use them and how to incorporate them into your Web design projects. The book is organized by topic, so you can browse through the tips you think would be most helpful to you. Otherwise, the index makes it easy to look up information about features you may not be sure how to use. While this is a "Tips" book, it can definitely serve as a helpful learning reference as well.
I really thought I had mastered GoLive before reading this book. But now that I know so much more about the program, I want to redesign all my websites more efficiently with the new knowledge I have. I can already tell that the time it took me to read this book will save me countless more hours in designing my next websites. I highly recommend it.
