Hi, The quote below is from Adobe, and not my own. I have used various other Dreamweaver books; however enjoy using the Classroom in a Book series. I have not used the Digital Classroom series (by AGI), and so it will be interesting to hear from other QSITE members which books they prefer.
- "The Classroom in a Book series is by far the best training material on the market. Everything you need to master the software is included: clear explanations of each lesson, step-by-step instructions, and the project files for the students." - Adobe Press http://www.lynda.com used to be part of the "Classroom in a Book" series, however this has now changed to http://www.video2brain.com/en/ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joshua Paech Sent: Wednesday, 15 September 2010 5:48 PM To: QSITE ICT Teachers Subject: Re: [qsiteict] Dreamweaver CS5 resources? Sean, that's interesting that you say that about the Adobe Classroom in a Book series. I tried the Photoshop one and thought it was pretty ordinary. Lots of "click on this, click on that, change this setting to 23, that one to 42. Now you're done." There was hardly any explanation of why you did these steps or what these settings actually mean. In contrast, I have found the Digital Classroom series (by AGI) to be much more appropriate for students, with better explanations on why they are doing things.
