Training

These are the areas of train­ing that are the focus of my con­cen­tra­tion recently. Dreamweaver CS4 is what I am using, the 10th ver­sion of this soft­ware. Dreamweaver is becom­ing a very capa­ble tool for Web Design and Development. Every time I write that web design and devel­op­ment, I real­ize that many folks that are served or could poten­tially be served by Future Wave Designs, do not real­ize that there is a dif­fer­ence between web design and web devel­op­ment. For the sake of sim­plic­ity here, I’ll just say that web design is deal­ing more with ascetics, appear­ance, as it were. Web devel­op­ment is more tech­ni­cal and per­haps more related to pro­gram­ming and con­nect­ing data­bases with a web­site. So, what I was say­ing was that Dreamweaver is becom­ing very capa­ble for both the lay­out, pre­sen­ta­tion and ascetics work and for the pro­gram­mer as well… pro­vid­ing tools that aid in cod­ing, or pro­gram­ming… not to men­tion automat­ing tasks that would have required pro­gram­ming if done manually.

Dreamweaver has been my tool in learn­ing about and devel­op­ing the Web 2.0 type appli­ca­tions that can be devel­oped with the aid of Javascript libraries. I’ve found some valu­able train­ing courses, or video titles on both Lynda.com and vtc.com — the vir­tual train­ing com­pany. These tools, these Javascript Libraries sim­plify or make pos­si­ble the cre­ation of rich inter­net appli­ca­tions, also known as Web 2.0 type appli­ca­tions. We are talk­ing about web sites that improve upon or enrich the user inter­ac­tion with a web­site. The chal­lenge is to mar­ket these skills and help poten­tial clients see how these tools, these fea­tures added to a web­site can ben­e­fit them.
