FANTASTIC!!! I am now designing my own non-simple webpages in modern code. I almost decided to BUY the program ($125) until I spent a day working on my own stuff and referring to the DVD before sending it back. I think I've got it down for the most part. (That plus I have a huge manual for Just In Case, but who wants to slog through something like that unless they have to?) I'm going to order Part 2 right now and who knows, I might even go on to the advanced DVD and become a Dreamweaver Expert Grand Poobah.
Lectures were step-by-step, done in simple language with both a PC- and Mac-friendly guide. This is how training videos should be made! Bravo, Total Training! And thanks, SmartFlix!
I can't recommend this highly enough! This was a dream come true, an instant doorway to a brand-new program for me. I learned more than enough to update the website that I'd put together years ago by slowly typing in HTML that I'd learned from an online community college course. The lessons are thorough and take you through everything 1, 2, 3. This second disk even has a refresher course on HTML so you can check your code, as well as notes on how code has been updated so you can see what to look out for.
I did have a problem with one of my pages (I think it's a Dreamweaver glitch) and took the page to a friend who designs webpages in his spare time. "How did you do this?" he asked about one of my snazzy special effects. "I can't do anything like this!" he said, and I felt a little zing! of pride. Thank you, Total Training and SmartFlix!
After watching the Total Training Dreamweaver DVDs as well as InDesign, our company ordered the complete CS3 instructional set from TT. Wonderful films: well-paced, very clear instruction, and lets you practice what you've just seen done. SO much better than Adobe's sorry attempts at instructional videos for their own products!
