Dreamweaver and CSS workshop tour off to a fantastic start!
The Getting Started with Dreamweaver and CSS Web Publishing Workshop seminar tour began with a sold-out event in Los Angeles this past week. The workshop is a one-day event and is a collaborative effort from MOGO Media and Adobe Systems Incorporated.Attendees were greeted at the fabulous the Ritz Carlton in Marina Del Ray with a sumptuous breakfast, thanks to Adobe. Over 300 attendees jammed the ballroom to then see Steve Forde of GridIron Software give a great demo of their recently-announced Flow software. After Steve answered a few questions, Brian Wood took the stage and kicked off the all-day event focused on publishing websites using Dreamweaver CS3 and CSS.
Brian started at the beginning and spoke about laying the groundwork for websites using familiar software applications, like Photoshop, Illustrator, and Fireworks. Brian then spent some time discussing just what exactly CSS and how it works. What was really great about this part was how easy it was to understand. Brian made constant comparisons to traditional print design terms (for example, how CSS ID tags compare to Layers in Illustrator or InDesign), making the session easy to follow, and seeming less technical.During lunch break, tens of attendees lined up to speak personally with Brian, asking questions on specific items from the class, and asking for advice on how to implement their own personal projects. In fact, Brian had little time to grab lunch for himself, as the afternoon sessions got underway quickly.
Brian then took the attentive audience into a deep dive, covering Dreamweaver CS3. Putting everything together into a site, Brian showed how to integrate design elements from Photoshop and even covered how to import content directly from InDesign CS3. At the end of the day, one lucky attendee walked away with a full copy of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium!With a great start in Los Angeles, the next stop on the tour is New York city, this week, on June 4th at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square. The event is already sold-out with over 400 attendees and it promises to be another exciting day of learning and fun.With dates coming up in Washington DC, Chicago, and Boston, there’s still time to sign up and benefit from this great event.
