Here are the latest 4 Dreamweaver Tutorials and 2 Dreamweaver Reviews from Sitepoint. These tutorials deal with setting up Dreamweaver to be compliant with Web standards, customizing Dreamweaver's config file, creating web animation using Dreamweaver, and adding simple Flash movies to your Web pages with Dreamweaver.

Dreamweaver 8 Does Standards

This is the latest Dreamweaver version from Macromedia and it supports Web standards and the WCAG more that previous versions did. This tutorial article describes how Dreamweaver previously supported standards and then demonstrates how to set up Dreamweaver 8 so its compliant with Web standards development. It then takes you through the creation of a Web document using XHTML Strict with some new Dreamweaver 8 tools which will help you generate code that is both accessible and standards compliant.

Customize Dreamweaver MX to Your Needs

This tutorial demonstrates how you can setup and customize Dreamweaver the way you want to use it. Though it pertains to Dreamweaver MX, many of the examples and tweaks shown here can be performed in earlier versions. You will be updating the Dreamweaver config file in the /Configuration/ directory. Backing up of this file is recommended and it needs to be modified by a text editor, not by Dreamweaver itself.


Animation in Dreamweaver

This tutorial shows you how to perform animation in a Web page using a Dreamweaver inspector called the "TimeLine Inspector". Dreamweaver is able to generate this animation by using JavaScript, which does this by coordinating the location of an object or image with the time between each location. A Dreamweaver animation created in a Web page must have at least one start and one end point.


Easy Flash with Dreamweaver 4

This tutorial shows you how to use the tools in Dreamweaver 4 to quickly add simple Flash movies directly to your Web pages. The tools to add Flash are Flash Text and Flash Buttons, and the designs are built into these tools. The controls to use to do this are all in the Objects panel, starting with the Common Objects panel.


Dreamweaver 8 Reviewed

Here is a review of Dreamweaver 8, detailing the pros, and outlining the cons, of this release to help you make a purchasing decision on it. The user experience of Dreamweaver 8 is basically the same as the previous versions. The panels are all about the same, located in the same locations, and the toolbars and tabs are identical. However, deep inside the application, Dreamweaver 8 does provide some brand new features and ways of doing things. For one thing, for web developers, this version provides an almost real coding IDE, which offers new features for writing better code quicker, for those who don't want a WYSIWYG editor.

Review - Dreamweaver MX 2004

In Dreamweaver MX 2004, Macromedia has redone the look and feel of the user interface, but these changes are basically skin deep, and all features and functionality works pretty much the same way it did in Dreamweaver MX and Dreamweaver 4. The most important update is better support for CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), including complete pop-up hints for hand-coding CSS. The major feature of this new CSS funcationality in this release is the Relevant CSS Panel.

Here is a nice 2-page Flash MX quick reference guide, or cheat sheet. It covers the Flash features and functionality listed below. This short guide can help you use Flash very efficiently.
