Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Training Video – Tutorials

This unique Adobe Dreamweaver Tutorial Video series provides a useful, no-nonsense introduction to this powerful web development platform. Featuring hands-on examples and straightforward walkthroughs, users learn how the program works by seeing it in action and following from their own computers. Written and presented by James Gonzalez, this tutorial course offers a compelling introduction to Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 and the new features that come with it.

Dreamweaver CS5: Formats for the Future

As the internet continues to expand and evolve, so must the software used for web-bassed development. Fortunately, the engineers behind Adobe Dreamweaver are proving once again that they’re up to the challenge, with new support for popular formats and functionality that are defining the way people use the web.

Web standards for communication and construction are historically a point of debate, compromise, and more debate that in the end is settled by the user. While companies and professional groups often strive for open source or non-proprietary standards and formats, it doesn’t matter to the user as long as it works. After years of this battle, the web has become a hybrid of private and public, open source and proprietary, but most importantly web interfaces have become more user-friendly and more intuitive as a result.

For a designer, this means there are many different options for doing the same thing, which is a blessing and a curse. For its part, Dreamweaver CS5 offers support for more tools, extensions and formats than ever before. Integrated CMS functionality lets users work with Joomla, WordPress, and Drupal with ease, and enhanced support for Subversion allows greater collaboration between developers as well superior as version control.

If you’re just getting started with Dreamweaver and its robust format support, it can be confusing where to start. The program is packed with features, and the menus and control panels can be confusing to those who haven’t used the program before. The Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Training Video course makes it easy, taking you step by step through the software interface and the practical process of development and design. Even those who have worked with older versions of Dreamweaver will find the tutorial engaging and full of  time-saving tips.

These Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 tutorials demonstrate the specific skills needed to create websites with the program. Because the training takes a practical focus, the lessons never bog down with overly technical definitions or needless filler. As he shows you how to design and implement different elements of design, instructor Gonzalez also draws from his professional experience to help users avoid common mistakes that often discourage beginners.

Adobe Flash CS4 Tutorial Video – Training Series

With all of the new features Adobe has added to make Flash CS4 Professional easier to learn and easier to use, there’s never been a better time to pick up the software. The object-based design model gets rid of the complicated keyframe system of previous versions and significantly lowers the learning curve for the beginner.

This powerful Adobe Flash CS4 Tutorial Video series makes mastering the program even easier. With a hands-on teaching approach based on showing and not just telling, this instructional video course covers everything from the bare basics of drawing and handling images within the program to how to use sound, video, and animation to bring your project from the idea phase all the way through publication. The unique video format of the course allows you to learn at your own pace, moving from the one tutorial to the next only when you’re ready. You’ll learn how to use all of the new features as well as the old ones, whether your focus is on animation or video, for in-house presentations or distribution on the web. Both PC and Mac compatible, it’s a convenient and affordable way to truly have the advantage with Flash CS4.

Market Advantage

Despite Microsofts’s continued efforts to develop and spread the use of its Silverlight software, Adobe’s Flash is still the king of video and animation on the web. With the additional support Flash CS4 Professional provides for H.264 video encoding and the new animation features it brings to the table, it’s sure to leverage its immense popularity (which Adobe places at 99 percent of internet users) even further.

History and the Future

Since acquiring Macromedia in 2005, Adobe has sought to make Flash more compatible with the other design tools in its product line. These integration efforts begun with Creative Suite 3 have been taken even further in Adobe Flash CS4 Professional. In addition to unifying the appearance of the user interface across the entire productivity suite, Adobe has also made transferring work between programs virtually seamless, perfect for the increasing convergence of print and web design across traditional brick-and-mortar and internet-based industries.

While keeping the core vector graphics functionality that made Flash the market leader, Adobe has added more features to Flash that will ensure its relevance as a future player in premium content markets: a new design model that is object-based and more straightforward for the Flash beginner, additional support for high quality video, more robust tools for editing large amounts of text, and the new creation tools such as the Bones utility for implementing intuitive movement and chain-effects. Brand new 3D Translation and 3D Rotation features allow you manipulate 2D objects and images in three dimensions, and the Deco tool and Spray Brush features allow you to quickly apply decorative fills to give your animations more depth and style.

Dreamweaver CS3 Tutorial Find and Replace

Dreamweaver’s ‘Find and Replace’ functions will help you locate files and content, even replace bits and pieces should you wish. Perhaps you’ve spotted a spelling error within a large amount of text on a web page and you need to correct it. Perhaps you need to change every instance of the color #E600FF within a CSS document to #89FF00. Perhaps you need to change every occurrence of ‘>’ within a document to ‘>’, except ones which are parts of XHTML tags. In all these cases ‘Find and Replace’ is a huge time-saver and this break-down will help you get to grips with using it.

Opening the ‘Find and Replace’ dialogue

Press Command + F or go to Edit > Find and Replace.. to open the dialogue.

Find in: Select Menu

The first thing you’ll see is the ‘Find in:’ select menu. This determines where you’ll be searching and the options are outlined below:

  • Selected Text Searches within whatever text you have selected in the current document
  • Current Document (default) Searches the entire current open document
  • Open Documents Searches within all documents which are currently open in Dreamweaver
  • Folder..When selected brings up a file field allowing you to select a folder on your system in which to perform the search
  • Selected Files in Site If your ‘Files’ panel isn’t visible press F8 to reveal it. Select any number of files and folders within your current local site in which to perform a search
  • Entire Current Local Site Searches within every single file currently available in your selected local site (visible within Files panel)

Search: Select Menu

Secondly you’ll see the ‘Search:’ select menu. This determines in which elements of your specified file/files you’ll be searching:

  • Source Code (default) Searches within the whole source code of the specified file/files
  • Text Searches only within the text output of the specified file/files. XHTML markup/tags etc will not be included in the search
  • Text (advanced) Again, searches only within the text output of your specified file/files, this time allowing further specifics. With the options which will appear you’ll be able to include or exclude content from within certain tags (for example any text within a <p> tag)
  • Specific Tag Searches tags as specified in the option fields which appear. Search for tags with certain attributes and values and use ‘Action:’ to alter these tags in the way you specify. This is useful for XHTML tags which have javascript scripts within them, for example.

Search Strings

Working our way down the dialogue, we come to the ‘Find:’ window. This is where you’ll enter the string you wish to search for.

Underneath the ‘Find:’ window is the ‘Replace:’ window. If you intend to perform a replace action (which we’ll cover in a minute) this is where you’ll enter the string you wish to replace what’s in the ‘Find:’ window.

Lastly on this side of the ‘Find and Replace’ dialogue are the ‘Options:’. These dictate specifics regarding the string you’ve entered to search for.

  • Match case When checked, this option returns results which match the search string exactly, including the case of each letter. The search string ‘SENTENCE’ would not include instances of ‘Sentence’ in the results
  • Match whole word When checked, this option ensures that your search returns only results where the string forms whole words and not parts of words. The search string ‘Mine’ would not include the ‘Mine’ contained within ‘Miner’ in the results
  • Ignore whitespace When checked, this option ignores any whitespace (more than one space within text) in the search results. The search string ‘These words’ would then include instances of ‘These words’ , but also ‘These      words’ in the results.
  • Use regular expression When checked, this option allows the use of regular expressions within the search string. This means that regular expressions can be entered into the ‘Find:’ window and won’t be treated literally as strings. For example, by entering <[a-z]+> and searching within the whole source code the results will return instances of ‘<’ followed by any number of lower case characters, followed by ‘>’. ‘<span>’ would therefore be returned, ‘<h2>’ wouldn’t, using regular expressions even at a basic level can be a real time saver, I have lost count of the amount time this has saved me.

( Side note on Regular Expressions: Learning how to leverage the power of Regular Expressions will help you with a whole lot more than just doing advanced search and replace within Dreamweaver, it’s used in JavaScript, Perl, PHP and for performing Mod _Rewrite on a web server. 30 minutes is all it takes to learn the basics. A cool tools is avaiable called regex-coach that does an amazing job of helping you write Regular Expressions)

Submit buttons

Having specified all the parameters for your search, turn next to the right of the dialogue where the submit buttons can be found.

The first is ‘Find Next’ and when clicked will highlight the next instance of your search string in the location you’ve specified. Click again to move onto the next, again for the next etc. If you are searching within files which are currently closed (search entire local site, for example) they’ll be opened. When all instances have been found, a small information label will appear at the bottom of the dialogue stating that the search is ‘done’ and informing you of how many instances were found.

The next, ‘Find All’ will open the Results pane, listing all the search results and their location.

Clicking ‘Replace’ will replace the currently highlighted text with whatever you’ve stated within the ‘Replace:’ window. If the ‘Replace:’ window is empty, the highlighted text will be removed.

‘Replace All’ will replace every instance matching the search string with whatever is stated in the ‘Replace:’ window. This can have some fairly serious consequences if you’re not careful. In the case of searching and replacing within unopened documents you’ll even be warned:
