Course Synopsis: This class is designed specifically for graphic designers and production artists already comfortable working with Adobe InDesign that would like to learn how to automate publishing without learning a lot of scary code. XML simplifies the process of moving content in and out of your layouts and can speed up any print or web assignment. The hands-on projects covered in this class will teach you how to import and export XML.
Who Should Attend: Graphic professionals who need an essential understanding of automating production work with XML using Adobe InDesign.
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. We highly recommend working with the application tutorial before coming to the course.
