Fireworks Guru: Jim Babbage
There's a lot of Fireworks gurus out there, but today Im giving recognition to Jim Babbage.
Jim has written over 70 articles and tutorials for Fireworks and actively participates at Community MX! (That's insane Jim!) Wow, if I were a new Fireworks user, you would be my idol Jim, but Im not saying your not my idol now, hehe. :P
It's amazing when someone that's new to Fireworks never realized how powerful the app can be in their web app arsenal. Who wants to go through all the hassle just to export images like in other apps when you can just Create > Slice > Export. I also can't tell you how many code poets/production artists I talk to on a daily basis that use Fireworks and love it. The faster you get in and get out, the faster you can head out to the beach or go hiking or whatever you enjoy to do in your spare time.
Jim's been a visual communications guru for over a decade, and his skills include digital imaging, web design, landscape, nature and commercial advertising photography. Jim currently teaches credit courses in photography/imaging and newmedia at Centennial College's Centre for Creative Communications and is also a partner at NewMedia Services.
Be sure to check out the Fireworks Developer Center and Community MX (Specifically Fireworks) to read his articles. I know I've picked up a bunch of tips from his articles and you can too!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge Jim and keep up the fantastic work!

Jim is one awesome cat. He was my professor for the last two years at Centennial College. He takes his teaching very seriously, but still likes to Joke around. Best prof. I ever had. Keep up the good work!
