Teaching Dreamweaver
A Merry Thanksgiving to everyone! Just dropping by to let you know that I'll be teaching a course on Dreamweaver at the UC Berkeley Extension this coming Spring.
If you're in the San Francisco Bay Area and would like to learn about the Principles of Web Design inherent to Dreamweaver MX 2004, please enroll and come to my class: 10 Mondays, 2/28 through 5/2.
More the syllabus and assignments later. For now, brush up on your CSS and PHP knowledge and fire up Fireworks as well if you haven't tried it yet.
