Dreamweaver Video Tutorials ?

[Peter Carr]

Does anybody know of any indepth video tutorials for Dreamweaver ? The ones provided by Dreamweaver are very basic and barely scratch the surface. The tutorials on Lynda.com/LinkedIn seemed to have been removed.

If you are reading this Preran.

I have just finished watching the 'advanced' video tutorials for Dw, and being honest they are much to basic to be called 'advanced', plus they could do with added notes on the page for 'further reading' to direct users to more complete or advanced information.

Don't know, but maybe the above comment on 'further reading' could apply to other product tutorials as well.

I still see the Dreamweaver tutorials on Linkedin Learning? LinkedIn Learning: Online Courses for Creative, Technology, Business Skills

Is it a specific Dreamweaver tutorial you are looking for?

[pziecina]

Those courses are all for old versions of Dw, with many of them going back to CS6.

Also most regarding the web are not Dw specific.

What would you recommend to stay up to date with the latest cutting edge web design trends ?

I'm php, css & html based, front & backend.

The question you should be asking yourself is, what do you want to do?

The simple fact is, that no video will give you more than a basic overview, as it is impossible to tell or show someone all that they require. With modern html5, css and javascript on the front end, you can create every design/layout that was previously thought to be only possible using flash, (or a dtp program for print).

Even a simple thing like text, can now offer features that one though was only possible in dtp layouts. At the moment we can also create layouts using css flexbox, and css grids, which are much more easily adaptable to rwd than float based layouts could ever be. Also don't forget that css animations moves what is possible using just css, (and a bit of js to help things along if you wish) into the creative sphere of those who previously used flash.

As for the back-end using php, everything from simple form submissions to enterprise application are possible.

The best none video resource, (approved and sponsored by the w3c, microsoft, chrome and firerfox) is -

I do not know the quality or quantity of the current tutorials, but you might try Lynda.com. It has always offered an excellent library of tutorials for a plethora of programs. You may find something there that meets your needs. Just know, however, that Lynda is not a free service, but it won't hurt to check it out.

To answer the original post, this is where Lynda.com has moved to LinkedIn Learning: Online Courses for Creative, Technology, Business Skills

[cdeatherage]

Thanks, Ben. How had I missed Microsoft taking over Lynda?

Chris

Addendum: FYI, just discovered navigating to lynda.com goes to an alternate/sister home page (but essentially same content) to the link Ben provided.

Just thinking back to a post you made a few weeks ago.

It's a joke regarding age, that we ocassionally have in the forum.

Translation for the younger posters -

Ben cannot get a certificate of completion, because he is too old to learn.

As the above also applies to me, no age prejudice can be claimed.
