Adobe Dreamweaver is the established tool of choice for the professional Web design community.

Intermediate Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 –
Dynamic Web Pages Using the Spry Framework*
Instructor: Val DuVernet
1 session: Sun, June 29, 10am–4pm
Reg deadline: June 23
Tuition: $145/$110 members
Max enrollment: 5 students

Learn the basics of creating dynamic Web pages using Dreamweaver and the Spry Framework. Spry is a JavaScript-based framework that enables the rapid development of Ajax-powered web pages. Not a JavaScript guru? No problem. Spry was designed to feel like an extension of HTML and CSS, so anyone with basic web-production skills can create next-generation web experiences by adding the power of Ajax to their pages. Dreamweaver CS3 incorporates Spry elements.

We’ll review the Framework and create simple yet extensible applications using Spry Data, Spry Widgets and Spry Effects. You should have basic knowledge of Dreamweaver CS3 (see our Beginning Dreamweaver course) in order to attend this workshop. Space is limited – register early!

Flash is regarded as one of the top tools used to enhance Web sites with animation and interactivity. But how does it work, and more importantly, how can it work for you? In this course, you’ll learn the basics of 2D animation using a timeline and how to incorporate audio, video and still images. We’ll touch on ActionScript and other basic concepts, including symbols, movie clips and motion tweening. By the end of the course, you’ll have some solid Flash components ready to put to work on your own Web site.

We’ll be using Flash 9.0/CS3 Professional on Macintosh computers. You’re welcome to bring your own Mac or PC laptop (if you plan to, please indicate so when registering). System time outside of class is available to students during the course.
