Testimonials:
The ExpertRating Online Dreamweaver Course (Dreamweaver MX 2004) has received overwhelming positive
feedback and reviews from students around the world. Here are a few:
"As
I said in the discussion area, Robert is not only excellent at what he does but
he's also an outstanding teacher. It's not always that you find someone who is
knowledgeable and can also able to pass along the skills to others. Web design
software seemed intimidating, frightening to me. I now have the confidence to
work on my own and am looking forward to his upcoming intermediate class. An
excellent experience."
"Best
on-line course I have ever taken. Instructor was top-notch and there was good
instructor to student, as well as student to student, interaction. I highly
recommend this course to others. The instructor continuously provided additional
instruction, including video demonstrations which were very helpful. I won't
hesitate to take additional courses with this instructor."
"I
enjoyed Robert Fuller's casual style of presenting the subject. He used
simple-to-understand illustrations for technical concepts, which was very
helpful to me as a beginner in the field. I liked his humor, sprinkled
throughout the lessons, and even in the final exam."
"I
learned just as much from the discussion part as the lessons. Keep up the same
format. I learned so much."
"I've
taken about 30 online courses including a MA degree and online teaching
certificate. This was the best designed course I have taken - bravo."
"Robert
is fantastic. Great internet persona. Incredibly knowledgeable. Went the extra
five miles to help with individual problems. I can't wait to take the
intermediate course. Please be sure to alert me when it is available. This was
my first, but not last, internet class through ed2go."
"The
instructor was excellent in terms of responsiveness to discussion questions. All
questions were answered promptly, and the available Supplemental Material was
very useful and thought-provoking. I enjoyed the many links that he provided to
other websites that discussed web design in general and Dreamweaver in
particular. I would definitely recommend this course to beginning Dreamweaver
users. I am looking forward to the Intermediate Dreamweaver course that will be
available in the fall."
"The
instructor was prompt and accurate answering questions. His humor helped keep
the material interesting."
"This
is my first Online course. I found it to be a very efficient and pragmatic way
to learn, and would certainly recommend this instructor and the course to
others."

Dreamweaver is an
easy to use web development application that covers up the gap
between a developer and a designer. Dreamweaver is a powerful web
development tool that helps you create attractive, dynamic, powerful
websites. It includes advanced features to develop complex
data-driven web applications. Dreamweaver’s user friendly interface
and extensive library not only enables even the amateur web
designers to create professional websites easily, but helps one to
structure the websites in such a way that they are easy to maintain
after being built.
This valuable course will explain all
the entities of the user interface, and then will also quickly get
you used to the robust features of Dreamweaver. The ExpertWriting
Dreamweaver Certification course will help you to design effective
websites.
Before you attack any
project, you need to have a plan, right? That's just
what the first lesson is about: coming up with a
plan. In this lesson, you'll learn the five basic
questions that you'll need to answer before starting
any Web site project. This lesson will discuss where
and how to gather your site content (text, graphics,
and other media), as well as different strategies
for organizing that content once you've got it. By
the time you finish this lesson, it won't matter
what type of Web site you need to build—you'll know
exactly how to plan for success.
Friday - Lesson 02
Perhaps Dreamweaver's
greatest strength is its powerful combination of
tools all wrapped up in a clean and simple
interface. This lesson is all about introducing you
to that interface. Not only will you learn the
primary interface elements, you'll also learn how to
preview your work in any of 20 potential Web
browsers—because rigorous testing is the key to a
successful Web site. By testing and adapting your
site documents across multiple browsers, you'll
ensure that each site visitor, regardless of the
browser they prefer, has a positive user experience.
Week Two
Wednesday - Lesson 03
Dreamweaver is a site
creation and management tool, not just some
over-glorified HTML editor. While you're building a
site, Dreamweaver has the ability to track each
color you assign, every image and multimedia file
you insert, every Web address you reference, as well
as keep track of every step you take while working
on a specific document. Dreamweaver then keeps all
this information right at your fingertips to use
again and again. In this lesson, you'll learn the
steps you need to take to put these features to work
for you.
Friday - Lesson 04
The two most
important aspects of any Web site are what it says
and how it looks. In this lesson on text formatting,
you'll learn how to control the look of text in your
Web pages. In certain respects, formatting text with
Dreamweaver is very similar to formatting text in
your word processor. The most important thing to
understand, however, is that Dreamweaver is not a
word processor. And perhaps more important, word
processing and Web design are totally different
worlds.
Week Three
Wednesday - Lesson 05-
Believe it or not,
the very early Web browsers couldn't display images,
and it's doubtful the Web would have become so
popular if the same were still true today. In this
lesson, you'll learn how to use Dreamweaver to
insert and format images within your documents.
What's more, even though Dreamweaver isn't a true
image-editing application, it does offer some very
impressive editing tools, and this lesson will
expose you to these features as well.
Friday - Lesson 06
There's a reason
people call it the Web. The metaphor perfectly
describes Hypertext's functionality. One document
links to many others, which in turn link to many
others, that potentially link back to where you
started. The functional aspect of hypertext—the
hyperlink—is what makes it all possible. In this
lesson, you'll examine pathnames (the heart of all
hyperlinks), giving you a better understanding of
the file structure of your Web site and how links
function. You'll learn how to create named anchor
links and e-mail links, and how to use Dreamweaver's
impressive link management tools.
Week Four
Wednesday - Lesson 07
Macromedia Flash
allows you to create complex animations with very
small file sizes tailor-made for delivery via the
Web. But, this is a course about Dreamweaver. How
does Flash enter into it? Dreamweaver provides you
with Flash objects you can make use of without
having the Flash program or knowing how to create
native Flash objects. You can insert pre-made Flash
buttons, as well as create Flash text, which makes
use of whatever fonts you have available on your
computer. In this lesson, you'll learn how to create
Flash text objects, insert Flash buttons, and work
with native Flash objects.
Friday - Lesson 08
In this lesson,
you'll find out how to insert, format, and lay out a
document using tables. When HTML was first created,
tables were expected to do what they have
traditionally done: display data. That meant they
would consist of columns and rows of information,
with headings and borderlines—just like the typical
spreadsheet. But, tables are very useful layout
elements, too. Because tables are well supported
across the major browsers and they provide this dual
functionality, they're among the most common
elements you'll find in Web pages.
Week Five
Wednesday - Lesson 09
Want to learn how to
create and format basic layered content? What's a
layer, you ask? Think of a layer as a kind of
container. You place content inside a layer to take
advantage of a layer's unique positioning
capabilities. Layers allow you to position content
down to the exact pixel. In this lesson, you'll
learn how to position a layer anywhere on the
screen, left to right or top to bottom within the
browser window. This lesson will also explore how
layers can be stacked one in front of the other,
giving your document content the illusion of depth.
Friday - Lesson 10
In this lesson,
you'll learn how to build frames-based Web sites.
Frames are much maligned by Web design pundits, but
their frustration has little to do with any actually
weakness on the part of frames. It has more to do
with the fact that doing frames right is very much
like preparing fine cuisine—if you don't pay
attention to details, everything will come out
awful! Working with frames demands that you change
your traditional view of building site pages, and
this lesson is devoted to showing you how that's
done. And, because Dreamweaver allows you to build a
frames-based site visually, the learning curve isn't
half as steep.
Week Six
Wednesday - Lesson 11
This lesson is all
about reusability, and in Dreamweaver, that means
the Assets and History Panels. You'll learn how to
use the Assets panel to quickly access site elements
and get them into new pages so you don't have to go
hunting through your site for previously used
content. When exploring the History panel, you'll
learn how to undo anything you wish you hadn't done,
as well as redo anything so you can repeat
formatting procedures throughout your site.
