Thanks to my agent Margot Hutchinson and everyone at Packt Publishing for their role in bringing this book to life. And I want to express special appreciation to Richard Jrgensen who provided expert input and review for this book. About the ReviewersNelson Therrien has computer degrees in both multimedia and programming. He is an Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) with Dreamweaver and has many Brainbench certifications (HTML, XHTML, Dreamweaver, Flash, Web design, Photoshop). Most of his time is spent teaching and developing web applications and dynamic forms. He is teaching at Eliquo, Canada's biggest Apple- and Adobe-authorized training center.

He's responsible for everything that revolves around the Web at the Montreal office. You would see his reference if you were to take a course on Dreamweaver, Flash, ActionScript, Flex, ColdFusion, HTML5, CSS3, XML, JavaScript, jQuery, PHP, LiveCycle Designer, or accessibility and standards on the Web. He has also touched on ASP, .NET, Java, SQL, Photoshop, Fireworks, and Illustrator. He spoke at the launch of Adobe CS5 and CS5.5 in Canada as an Eliquo representative. He is also the father of three young children aged between three and six. As a way to relax, he's constantly reading and searching to improve his skills and knowledge, and he does find some time to play Canada's national game: hockey! He's a goaltender and coaches his two sons.

I'd like to thank Craig Boassaly, Eliquo's president, and the team at Eliquo for making my teaching job so much fun. I'd also like to thank my wife who takes care of our three angels when I'm too busy to help her. And I'd like to thank my three kids Josu, Isaac, and Kala for bringing so much sunshine into my life. Lastly, I'd like to thank God: nothing that I have in this world or that I'll have in the next would be without Him. Chris Valleskey is a young and creative thinker who currently lives in Chicago, IL. He started freelancing at the age of 17 and continued this role throughout college until graduating in 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design and Philosophy.

Although he now holds a normal job in the city, he also enjoys spending time with his close friends as a part owner in their own company. In his free time, he enjoys playing Halo, drinking Mountain Dew, and hanging out with his awesome wife. I would like to especially thank my wife Krista for putting up with me, and for my friends and family for supporting and encouraging me in everything I do. www.PacktPub.comSupport files, eBooks, discountoffers and more You might want to visit www.PacktPub.com for support files and downloads related to your book.

Mobile design is no longer an afterthought but integral to the process of building websites from conception to completion. New features in HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript have eclipsed older technologies for animation and interactivity. Native video has supplanted plugin-based media. Moreover, new HTML5 and CSS3 tools have brought about a sea of change in everything from form design to graphical styling. Dreamweaver CS6 addresses these new demands, and this book shows you how to take maximum advantage of new features and how to repurpose established Dreamweaver features to solve new design challenges. For readers new to Dreamweaver, this book provides a solid, compressed introduction to the essential building blocks for creating cutting-edge and stable sites.

For experienced Dreamweaver designers, this book explains how to take advantage of the new features available in CS6 in detail, with particular focus on new features for designing mobile sites in jQuery Mobile and for generating apps. This book starts off by teaching you how to create web pages in Dreamweaver using the latest technology and approaches HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. It demonstrates how to create or customize pages with HTML5 layouts and add HMTL5 native audio and video to these pages. Then you will learn to add CSS3 effects to web pages using Dreamweaver, and sometimes push beyond the features available in Dreamweaver. The later chapters of the book focus on mobile design. The book covers Dreamweaver CS6's tools for responsive design, to adjust the display to match a user's device, to learn how to build jQuery based web apps, and to learn how to convert those web apps to free-standing apps that run without a browser.
