Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 - Introduction Two Day Training Course— Bespoke

Dreamweaver 8 is the latest incarnation of Macromedia’s leading web development and site management application. Its powerful tools allow you to build and manage great web sites all through an intuitive graphical user interface. It integrates perfectly with Macromedia’s other leading applications like Fireworks and Flash and respects all the latest internet standards.

The two-day training for Dreamweaver 8 allows users to examine the core features of this powerful software in greater depth than the one day course while also affording more time for creation and deployment of real site elements. You will also look at creating basic form elements for submitting user data to a server.

On completing this two day course, you will be confidently using Dreamweaver 8 and a graphics editor to create and implement visually exciting web sites. You will have gone right from conceptualising how your site should be structured through to uploading it into your web space.
