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.

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 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.
