I am unsure if there is more than on e version of this book available but mine is seriously outdated! The author uses old versions of everything, I am on Windows XP and running UltraDev 4. These things make the book hard to follow and confusing. I actually became frustrated and I know a bit about UltraDev and am proficient in Dreamweaver. Also, the explanations, in my opinion, are almost non-existant! The author spends more time giving instructions than teaching- not the way a tutorial book should be. Maybe this book would be helpful if you really aren’t looking to learn UltraDev and are looking to skate through a project, but for as a serious web developer this book falls way short.

I use Dreamweaver but want to get up fast on Ultra Dev using database. This book is about UltraDev. It got me up quickly. It is not complex. Many pictures helping you. After a while with this book – I wanted to learn more. This is not an advanced book – It will get you up on Database development fast but to advance you will need more when it comes to complex SQL. And it will not teach you database modeling – that is not what this book is – it is learning UltraDev and does a fine job teaching UltaDev. There is more to dasebase driven sites than just pushing buttons. GREAT BOOK – I am keeping mine! Worth the money. . .
