Dynamic Dreamweaver Tutorials and Books

If you're an experienced web designer, or new web designer, you are probably familiar with the term, "Dynamic Website." If you aren't familiar with this term, time to get familiarized!

Any website that is not dynamic produces simply static pages, with an overload of useless pages. Dynamic websites allow the web designer to cut down on pages, more efficiently get data up on the site, all users to log in through the front end and more.

Examples of Dynamic website Types:
Forums
Blogs
Wikis
Photo Sharing

Examples of Dynamic website uses:
Content loaded quicker
Website security
Easy duplicating of content
Easy templating
And much more...

Dynamic Dreamweaver books and tutorials are difficult to come by, especially if you are not experienced with programming languages...Why? Because web developers and programmers don't often write comprehensively and because some programmers choose not to use Dreamweaver, and use other solid programming UI software programs.

I, personally, have found Dreamweaver to be an exellent tool for developing dynamic websites. I began without ANY programming knowledge, and even now I don't posses a great deal. But, Dreamweaver makes it pretty easy.

When I decided I wanted to learn how to develop dynamic websites, I bought, Web Database Applications with PHP & MySQL, 2nd Edition

While I use it often NOW. When I first began, it was impossible with all the code. It is a great resource though, and I'm not sorry I bought it. I teaches you to create a shopping cart and secure access all yourself.

Now, the #1 best dynamic Dreamweaver book:

Foundation PHP for Dreamweaver 8

I learned how to create log ins, blog applications and more with Dreamweaver and with hardly any programming! It also shows you how to manage MySQL databases from Dreamweaver, while ALSO giving you detailed instructions for downloading PHP and MySQL and setting up a local server. MACS and PCS both.

These are the only two I've tried, but here are some newer books out there for Dynamic Dreamweaver applications...with reviews :)

Google Gives Back: Essential Web Master Tools



I came down prety hard on Google in a recent post on my Technology News Blog If you want to view the article, Sentenced to Life Behind Google I decided I would talk about some of the great things that Google does offer Web Masters, that are essential and incredibly useful. First of all, their Adwords program is not only great for advertisers, it is also an incredible way for web site owners to market their own websites. The Adsense program allows you to set prices on specific keywords, choose the websites you advertise on, and allows complete control over the display of the ad. Also, you can count on Google to ensure the quality and reliablity of their advertisers. If you have money to invest in website marketing or promotion, I would highly recommend using Google Adwords to market your website. If you want to purchase Adwords ad space and watch your user base triple in size, thus increasing profit.

Now that we're talking about website marketing, let me move on to Google Adsense. There has been a lot of talk about Google Adsense, and their competitors. One thing I've heard is that users are so familiar with Google Ads and their format, that they are programmed to just kind of skim over them. But, Google Adsense allows the webmaster to completely customize the format, color and layout. So, this shouldn't really be the issue. The other argument is that Google Adsense doesn't payout as high as the competitors. But, if you're serious about making money with ads, the 2 cents you receive more from a competitor is not worth the sloppy ad displays they have. Google Adsense, without a doubt, displays the most relevant, essential and quality links compare to their competitors. This is because they can, they have the money, the experience and the means with which to provide their customers with the highest quality Advertising methods. If you want to is the answer.

Alright, on to the fun stuff! Google's Toolbar is AMAZING! The newest version out allows webmasters to view CSS, HTML Code, Form information, Site Ranking and a whole lot more. If you consider yourself a web privy individual, web master, or simply curious internet geek like me (well...I'm all three) You should be packing the toolbar in your belt. The is the only way to go for web browsing, mastering or discovering.

The Google Pack is another nifty offering handed to us by our master, Google.com. It's an entire package of lite, fluffy magic that will ensure safer browsing, and efficient web mastering.

Hope that was useful! Any website designer should understand these four essential Google tools like the back of their hand: Google Adsense, Google Adwords, Google Toolbar, and Google Pack
