I'm wanting to make a personal website and possibly some other sites for friends/family. I've always wanted to learn how to make a website the right way (no templates, decent graphics/layout) so I'm thinking of getting a couple books. The two I'm looking at getting are:
Photoshop 7/ImageReady for the Web Hands-On Training
Macromedia Dreamweaver MX Hands-On Training
The price is $65 for them both but I figure if I can learn how to make a decent website then that's a cheap price to pay (considering I pay ~$80/year on a host).
What do you guys think? Are these books all I need? Any other choices? Opinions?
