Learn More about Dreamweaver and Web Authoring

You should now have a basic understanding of all the fundamentals of Dreamweaver, specifically those included in the checklist. Like all new skills, it helps to put them into practice regularly in order to retain the information. Take a few days off and then try to perform all the actions listed in the checklist. Look for opportunities to use your Dreamweaver skills to enhance and simplify your personal, academic, and professional life.

If you want to learn more about Dreamweaver, peruse some of the other tutorials available under the Content tab or go to the training resources available at http://www.macromedia.com/support, which includes books you can download. As you become more and more familiar with the software, you will begin to see opportunities to use it.

The Computer Science department offers a course in Dreamweaver and website development, and the Computer Science and Communications departments offer a major in Digital Communication.

If you want to learn to edit your images for the Web, or even for print, Macromedia Fireworks, the companion product to Dreamweaver, is available in the same labs as Dreamweaver and includes tutorials much like those in Dreamweaver.

If you have interest in designing webpages, Calvin offers a Web-design course through the Art department. There are also numerous books and websites dedicated to high quality design and effective visual communication. One excellent resource is The Art and Science of Web Design by Jeffrey Veen.
