I just started working with Adobe Dreamweaver, Adobe's web development software. It's difficult and complicated to say the least. And the training materials that come with it are not much help. I was talking to some people who agreed that, as great as Adobe's programs are, their training stuff leaves a lot to be desired.
I had the full version of Photoshop (4 I think) about ten years ago and used their "Classroom in a Book" to try to learn it. It was okay, but it wasn't until I read Scott Kelby's Photoshop book that I really got to know my way around it. I got Dreamweaver CS3, the Missing Manual by David Sawyer McFarland and now I think I'm on the right track.
Don't get me wrong, Adobe tends to make the best at everything it attempts, and tends to be original about it, but I suppose it is like expecting the guy who designs Ferraris to be the one to teach you how to drive!
Another thing about Dreamweaver-it doesn't really behave or seem to be set up like Photoshop, which was surprising. I just found out that they actually acquired that program when they took over Macromedia. That explains it.
