I have a beginners class in Adobe Dreamweaver CS4, but the book is worded badly and difficult to use, so, I was looking for a dvd, online video, etc. that could teach the basics of how to use Dreamweaver CS4 for the complete novice? Please help?
This isn’t an answer to your actual question, but general advice:
If you are truly an absolute beginner, *don’t* learn web development from a package like DreamWeaver. Website authoring packages can be very powerful tools in the right hands, but I believe anybody setting out to learn the art should start with fundamentals.
Use notepad.
Google "HTML tutorial" and start from there. Experiment with HTML for a while. Then move on to CSS for styling. When you’re comfortable with that, try a little JavaScript.
If you go on a web developer forum and ask how many of the expert developers use DreamWeaver, you’ll hear something similar from most of them:
"I like its ability to do A or B quickly, but I do 90% of my coding in Notepad++ (or some other plain text editor)."
Anyway, I know that doesn’t answer your question for a DW-CS64 guide, but hopefully it will help anyway.

If you are a total beginner, use Notepad++, learn HTML, CSS and javascript at w3schools.com, then add php and mySQL:
It WILL take you LESS time to become proficient at web coding than to learn Dreamweaver and become a complete p***t who will - NEVER - EVER - know how to code.
If your school is teaching web development using Dreamweaver, then the school SHOULD BE CLOSED for absolute incomptence at TEACHING!
… and you wonder why education levels went into the drain…

I agree with JR. Also a good resource, I’ve found for tutorials and step by step demonstrations, is Lynda.com
I’ve learned quite a bit through the combination of Lynda.com and W3Schools.com
