Full Course Descriptions:

Dreamweaver CS5

The single most powerful tool for creating web pages is Adobe Dreamweaver. It allows you to create a page visually—like all good graphics programs. First, you’ll be introduced to the programming basics of HTML and CSS, the coding languages of the web. Then you’ll explore the powerful visual design side of Dreamweaver. You can easily layout webpages and add complicated JavaScript functions at the click of a mouse. Our Dreamweaver training will give you hands-on practice in all the essentials for creating your own website.

Fireworks CS5

Adobe Fireworks is a powerful image editor used for creating complex sliced images, animated GIFs, and web graphics of all sorts. In this class you will create animated banners, complex sliced graphics, and buttons of all shapes and sizes. We’ll show you how to mix and match JPEG and GIF graphics, do complex rollover effects, and create image maps which trigger other image rollovers.

Flash CS5

Flash is responsible for a lot of the animated content on the web. In this class, you will learn how to animate using motion and shape tweening (the basis for Flash animation), drawing, interactivity, buttons, symbols, movie clips, sound, scenes, loading messages, and introductory ActionScript. We focus on ActionScript 2, the designer-friendly programming language, but also provide exercises in ActionScript 3 for those who are interested in more hardcore programming.

Dreamweaver CS5 Advanced

We’ll take CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) way beyond text styling and see what they can really do. You’ll learn how to lay out webpages using <div> tags. You’ll center align div tags and create 2 and 3 column layouts using relative positioning. You’ll learn how to float elements into position, how “inline” versus “block” elements work, how to create better rollovers with CSS instead of JavaScript, and much more. CSS page layout gives you the ultimate power to change a website's entire design by changing a few styles.

Dreamweaver CS5 Interactive

In this course you’ll start by learning the fundamentals of JavaScript code. Knowing even the basics will empower you to write your own scripts as well as use freely available JavaScript frameworks (code written for you) such as the industry standard jQuery. Learn how to create animated slideshows with transitions like fades or slides. Create animated image enlargers, show/hide additional content, build nice looking menus and more. You’ll even learn how to use cookies to remember a visitor’s custom settings the next time they visit your site.

Flash CS5 Advanced: Actionscript 2 Fundamentals

This course focuses on advanced interactivity and control through Actionscript. We cover the core programming concepts of Actionscript, including: scripting animation, creating OUTRAGEOUS text effects, percentage preloaders, external asset loading, accepting and modifying user input, introducing randomness into your projects, timers, movieclip communication, and ultimately how to understand and utilize ActionScript 2.
