Dreamweaver was originally released by Macromedia in January 1998 and within
6 months was the world's most popular web design tool. Internet
Etc are established experts with Dreamweaver, having worked directly
with Macromedia on features of the product during development.
Available for both Mac and PC, Dreamweaver MX permits WYSIWYG generation
of complex page components such as animated layers, Javascript routines,
and style sheets. However, the main attraction of Dreamweaver MX is
that it permits the designer to work directly with the HTML itself
as and when they choose, seamlessly switching between direct coding
and WYSIWYG modes.
Dreamweaver has proved popular with corporate intranet designers
because it supports site libraries which permit standardisation
of page components. It offers administrators the ability to customise
the interface and limit the capabilities of end-users.
Dreamweaver MX is one of the few web tools which generates 100% standard
code which will run on any browser, while also offering the ability
to tune pages for peak performance on a specific product.
The ability to change style or positioning properties with a page
is what is commonly called dynamic HTML, or DHTML. Dreamweaver has
four DHTML features: Layers, Styles, Timelines, and Behaviours.
This course teaches you how to use Dreamweaver MX to create web pages
and manage complete sites. By the end of the course you will be
able to incorporate advanced components, including Cascading Style
Sheets, Javascript, Shockwave, ActiveX and Java applets. You will
be able to customise Dreamweaver MX, create and edit library items,
and develop standardised components for distribution to other designers.
