If you have wanted to create websites, but would rather focus on design instead of needing to first learn HTML and CSS, Adobe Muse will get you there, and this book will teach you how to use it.The book walks you through learning the interface and panels, but also uses goes through many examples, showing how you can create content, styling, and different effects in Muse.The book is catered more towards beginners, showing you concepts that are valuable outside even using Muse, such as planning out the design of your site, wireframing before creating, and teaching you how to create websites efficiently. You will learn everything you need to learn to get a website online, adding text, images, styling, adding widgets, how to test your site for multiple browsers, and even ways to publish your final site online.If you're a designer, and interested in using Muse to speed up your workflow, or if you are a beginner who hasn't created a website before, but interested in learning valuable tools without learning HTML and CSS up front, this is a great book to get you going.

This book is written clearly and logically. I refer back to it often when I need the details of what I am doing in Muse.

Well written, clear & comprehensive. Even though it is understandably a bit out of date, as Muse continues to add improvements, it still does a very good job of covering most of the basics. It is also a pretty fast read, serving as a good primer to read before starting to use Adobe Muse. I still periodically refer to it when I forget some of the basics. Worth the significant expense. I would have given it five stars if it had been just a little more expansive.

I kept the e-version of this book open in another window as I ploughed through my learning curve with Muse, mostly using it for reference. It worked very well for me. Clearly written and nicely pout together. I'd look forward to an update (at an upgrade price!).

The book is reasonably well written and provides a logical learning progression. However there are inconsistencies in the references in the lessons, and Muse has upgraded so that the screen shots in the tutorial don't match what is on screen. But the most disappointing issue is that the downloadable file that supposedly contains the images and text to be used in the lessons is woefully incomplete. I emailed the publisher and got a reply saying that someone would look into the matter and get back to me. That was five days ago. I also emailed Ms. Farley directly requesting the complete file but received no response at all. There are several Muse books on the market. I'd try another.
