Course Introduction

Lynda.com videos

This semester you may use videos from Lynda.com. The subscriptions begin the second week of class. To subscribe, SEND ME AN EMAIL so I can set up your account, then go to the student login page and enter the class code shown below.

To control the speed on the Lynda.com Quicktime movies you can press alt + click (Windows) or control + click (Mac) on the line between the arrows on the bottom right of the movie window.  Dragging the control that pops up to the right will speed up the playback and pulling it back slightly after speeding it up will allow you to slow down playback.  The controls are very very sensitive, so it takes some finesse and practice.

NOTE:  these video demos are for Dreamweaver MX.  8 handles the code with CSS instead of inserting font tags unless you change the preferences (see page 162).  The property inspector is slightly different for 2004 MX, but not enough to make a huge difference.
