Overview
The concept of this book is simple. You will design a simple Web site
with four pages to start the process. All graphics are provided on the
accompanying CD-ROM, so you can work quickly through building the pages.
In the second part of the book, you will build a Web site using liquid
table design, templates, Library items, and three different types of
menus. The site is enhanced with a Flash movie and impressive details
like a Print Page button and the new Flash buttons included in Dreamweaver.
In other words, by Sunday evening, you will have created a site containing
features that are found in the largest sites on the Web.
Friday Evening
In the first four sessions, I will introduce the material I will cover,
the Dreamweaver interface, and how Dreamweaver sites work. You will
create a document that includes text and graphics by the end of this
part.
Saturday Morning
By the end of this part, you will have pages on the Web. You will work
through the basics of page layout, tables, and moving your site to the
Web during these sessions.
Saturday Afternoon
In this part you start to add interaction to your site. Links, image
rollovers, and placing scripts are all part of these sessions of the
book. Before this part ends, you will also do some work with Dreamweaver's
templates and Library items to start automating your work.
Saturday Evening
You definitely move past beginner as you start your second site at
the beginning of this part. You will concentrate on planning the site,
creating the templates you will use, and move on to preparing templates
and Library items to use when you compile the second site on Sunday.
Sunday Morning
This part moves you right into the topics that can separate a true
Web developer from a "wannabe." You will be creating complex
menus and JavaScript rollovers, controlling text with CSS (Cascading
Style Sheets), and using automated site maintenance tools by the end
of these sessions.
Sunday Afternoon
Don't think you will be winding down slowly to the end of the book,
because you certainly do not want to miss the fun features included
on in these sessions. Learn to work with layers and move objects around
your pages with Dreamweaver's timelines. To complete the techniques,
you will create a page with frames. The final step is to look at how
you can apply your new knowledge in an efficient way as we focus on
productivity to end the book.
