Dreamweaver Tutorials

[thephoenix]

Anyone know any good Dreamweaver tutorials that are free? Preferable are videos as I am an audio learner. But I will take any thing at this point. Getting frustrated with using basic stuff and would like to make more dynamic and attractive sites. Just not sure how to use the tools Dreamweaver provides. I'm still a web design newbie.

Thanks in advance for any help or recommendations!

Is Dreamweaver not an appropriate software? I have Dreamweaver 8, I understood it to be fairly new and standard amongst web design people.

Better learn (X)HTML, CSS and PHP from scratch...

I have been studying up on HTML and what not from scratch. Problem is, I always feel like I stepped into a class two classes too late. Nothing is broken down bare bones basic, which is why Dreamweaver appealed to me. I could design sites easily for myself while getting familiarized with HTML, PHP, etc.

To learn Dreamweaver you do not need to know HTLM, for the program creats the HTML for you. While Dreamweaver is the "standard" for developing webpages, it is not user friendly in my opinion and your limited to tables to build a website. I feel that it is not a creative program to do exciting webpages, but since it is the "standard", I use it.

I wish there was a free form web building program like photoshop where I could place any element anywhere I wanted!! Oh well.....

Dunno when the last time was that you used a WYSIWYG-program, but most of them today know what the div-tag is and you can drag & drop your elements where ever you want.

Paws is right. DW does tableless design just fine if you know how. And I've always found DW to be very user friendly, and it's light years ahead of FrontPage. I haven't tried Microsoft's new program, Expressions Web I believe; I'll have to give it a try sometime. But DW rocks.
