Play with it. Open up Dreamweaver and start making a page. Just try every different option and see what it does. If you don't want to invest in a new copy of Dreamweaver without understanding it, purchase an older version off eBay and play with it. The older version will still have the basics that the new version has. If you come to a command that you don't understand, you can search on the Dreamweaver website or other tech websites for an explanation.
