Adobe® Dreamweaver® Certification Training Classes

*** Platform Note: This class for Mac or PC Users ***
Adobe software is virtually the same on the Mac and PC platforms. When taking this class from one of our locations, it will be taught using PC hardware with Windows software. Minor Mac keyboard and interface differences will be highlighted by the instructor. When taking this course from home or office, students can use either PC or Mac hardware to attach to the hosted Windows-based Adobe software.

Overview
This class includes a thorough review of the Dreamweaver interface including how to use Design, Code and Live Code views. You will learn to create and edit basic pages in Design and Code views. You will then learn to integrate page elements, including images and links, and how to apply properties including font types, styles and color.

Lessons include an overview of the basics of HTML, which is the markup language used to structure all web pages through the use of tags. Basic knowledge of HTML is required to use Dreamweaver effectively. You will also learn the syntax of CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) rules, and how to create, edit and troubleshoot style sheets.

You will learn how to use visual aids and hints to help you code more easily. Learn shortcuts for writing and editing code including use of the tag selector and code navigator. Create, edit and view CSS rules using the CSS panel and Property panel. Link global or embedded styles sheets to sites and pages, or to page templates to save time creating and managing large or complex sites. Learn to view, edit and upload associated files including JavaScript files.

*** Version Note ***
Our Adobe classes are for users of the CC and CS6 versions. These classes run on the CC version of the software but are relevant for CS6 users as well. In addition, we upgrade our software shortly after new training materials are released from Adobe. Typically new content is available within 2 to 4 months of a software release.
