With the MX studio version, Macromedia have invited the web development community to 'take Dreamweaver seriously'. There are an estimated 1.7 million Dreamweaver and UltraDev developers worldwide, making Dreamweaver MX the most popular web development tool. In the MX release, Macromedia have provided the programming community with a powerful server-side scripting engine (based on the UltraDev product) combined with the ease of use and client-side design capability of Dreamweaver 4. Dreamweaver MX is a great way to get into serious web development tasks from a standing start. 
 This book takes a practical approach to learning Dreamweaver. Over three sections, it takes a step-by-step approach to the development of three different web sites: 
<ul>
<li>A static hobbyist site, designed for publishishing and sharing recipes and cooking tips </li>
<li>A dynamic soccer fan site, designed to display upcoming events and news, and which each individual visitor can personalize </li>
<li>A corporate web site built from dynamic, configurable building blocks </li>
</ul> Each section builds on the lessons learned in the earlier sections and demonstrates increasingly powerful techniques. This book is primarily for complete beginners to web site programming who have access to Dreamweaver MX and want to learn how to create dynamic web sites with it. But the book doubles as a comprehensive reference to the features of Dreamweaver MX, so it will also be a useful resource to more experienced web developers who want to learn how to use the latest version of Dreamweaver. 
 As you work through the book you'll learn how to program using Active Server Pages (ASP), but this will prove useful even if you eventually want to use Dreamweaver MX to create web sites with JavaServer Pages (JSP), ASP.NET, PHP, or ColdFusion MX. Programming in any of these languages is very similar in Dreamweaver MX, and the core concepts you learn in building web sites with ASP are applicable and easily transferred to other languages. To help, the book includes four appendices that provide fast paced guides on how to get started using JSP, ASP.NET, PHP, and ColdFusion MX with Dreamweaver MX. 
 With this book you'll quickly be creating powerful, dynamic web sites with Dreamweaver MX - the latest version of Macromedia's powerful, integrated web development and editing tool. 
 You'll learn how to use the tools and features of Dreamweaver to construct three complete sites using HTML, JavaScript, Active Server Pages (ASP), and databases. 
 We start by creating a hobbyist site - The Cooking Place - that you can use to list your favorite recipes, ingredients, and dishes. As you build this site you'll learn how to use Dreamweaver MX to: 
<ul>
<li>Plan, create, and set up a web site </li>
<li>Add web pages to the site and edit their content </li>
<li>Use Stylesheets and templates to create a consistent style across the site </li>
<li>Use tables, frames, and layers to lay out web pages </li>
<li>Add dynamic effects - like drop down menus - to web pages using JavaScript and DHTML </li>
<li>Interact with users via forms on web pages </li>
<li>Create dynamic ASP web pages to respond to user actions and input </li>
</ul>
 As you progress through the book, the sites you create become ever more ambitious. The second site you build is a fan site for soccer that provides information on upcoming events for fans around the world. 
 As you build this site you'll learn how to use Dreamweaver MX to: 
<ul>
<li>Add logic to your ASP pages, so that you can display different information to different users, based on their location, or even the time of day </li>
<li>Keep track of users as they move around the site, so that you can learn what parts of your site are the most popular </li>
<li>Secure parts of the web site so that only authorized users are allowed to see sensitive information </li>
<li>Personalize the web site for individual users - so that the site appears in the colors of the user's favorite team or so that the user only sees events in their home country </li>
<li>Store and extract information about users and upcoming events in a database - and use this information to dynamically create web pages </li>
</ul>
 The final site in the book shows off many of the advanced features of Dreamweaver MX, as you walk through how to design a modular, extensible, and scalable site, and create a set of dynamic building blocks that can be quickly modified and reused in different sites. 
 As you build this site - which is used to display a set of images that users can view and purchase - you'll learn how to use Dreamweaver MX to: 
<ul>
<li>Create a set of building blocks whose look and content is determined dynamically by the settings in a database </li>
<li>Create a content management page that you can use to mange the database that stores information about the images on the site, including their title, price, and how they should be laid out </li>
<li>Put the building blocks you created earlier to a variety of uses, including a news blogger, a media display, and a product display </li>
<li>Use Dreamweaver Extensions to make our building blocks easy to reuse and to add e-commerce functionality to the site </li>
</ul>

It has been evident from many years of research work in the geohydrologic sciences that a summary of relevant past work, present work, and needed future work in multivariate statistics with geohydrologic applications is not only desirable, but is necessary. This book is intended to serve a broad scientific audience, but more specifi cally is geared toward scientists doing studies in geohydrology and related geo sciences.lts objective is to address both introductory and advanced concepts and applications of the multivariate procedures in use today. Some of the procedures are classical in scope but others are on the forefront of statistical science and have received limited use in geohydrology or related sciences. The past three decades have seen a significant jump in the application of new research methodologies that focus on analyzing large databases. With more general applications being developed by statisticians in various disciplines, multivariate quantitative procedures are evolving for better scientific applica tion at a rapid rate and now provide for quick and informative analyses of large datasets. The procedures include a family of statistical research methods that are alternatively called "multivariate analysis" or "multivariate statistical methods".
