Fantastic 
You can read it in front of your computer and perform the tutorials or you can simple read an look at the illustrations. I have read this book cover to cover. Both provide you with a very accurate experience. The online web site allows you to download all of the necessary files to perform your labs if you desire. It is simple, elegant, and well thought out book. You can't walk away from this book and not say that you did not truely learn to use Dreamweaver MX 2004. I struggled to learn this program, after reading the book, I have built several complex websites, complete with dynamic database integration. This book is that good!.
The Dreamweaver Missing Manual Rocks!
Who wouldn't want to work on the National Exasperator pages? His tutorials are excellent, easy to use and fun. I admit I'm biased because I've had Dave as a teacher and he's a great one, but his book is like his teaching -- clear, comprehensible, practical and most importantly, funny.
I'd Missed the Missing Manual 
Accordingly, I jumped into the middle of the "Missing Manual" and was able to find explanations for the designs that I wished to implement. Having created a website using Dreamweaver MX 2004 using just the included Help, I was frustrated because I couldn't figure out how to create specific aspects that I knew were possible. I found the chapter on Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) particularly helpful and easy to follow. I purchased Head First HTML at the same time and found both books useful. If I could only afford one, I would choose the Missing Manual. .
