Course Synopsis: Adobe Dreamweaver Website Development is a 5-day course that provides web designers with the knowledge and hands-on practice they need to build and manage dynamic web sites using industry standard for professional web development and design. This class introduces the student to the fundamentals of Dreamweaver with an emphasis on best practices and current web standards. Students will learn how to use the latest features of Dreamweaver for design and connecting to a database.
Who Should Attend: This course is for people new to web design and development and would like to use Dreamweaver to build data driven - standards compliant web sites. This class will cover design techniques as well as best practices for CSS and design standards. This class is a discounted combination of the Dreamweaver Intro and Advanced classes. For student cancellation purposes, each separate component is treated as a separate class.
Prerequisites: Because of the amount of material we cover in class, we do require students to be comfortable using a mouse, opening and saving files, and the general operations of computers. While we will make every reasonable effort to help, students with insufficient skills may be required to observe the class lessons or do their best to keep up without slowing down the rest of the class.
