Hello all,

Sorry this is off topic, but I am in need of some tutorials or books for Dreamweaver 8/Flash 8 to help me create my website. I've been searching the net for information, but can't seem to find anything that informative.

Please pass on anything you have!

Thanks,
Dave

I would suggest you learn good ol' HTML and build it in that and then if you want get fancy w/ other stuff as an alternative - love those sites that load as a white page 'cause the person who built it didn't know $hit about what they're doing and only used flash or some other nonsense.

It is a pretty good overview, and it teaches you how to do some basic flash stuff. Flash and Dreamweaver both have some pretty excellent tutorials built in too.

the 'Bible' series of books. I have an older one on Flash that is pretty good.

I second what the other folks have said. Learn plain 'ole HTML first and build on that. If you have not bought Dreamweaver yet, try using Netscape 7.2. It has Netscape Composer built into it, and is a pretty good HTML editor, and its free. I'm still on Dreamweaver 3, circa 1997. It still runs okay on OSX, but it is a bit buggy in the code it creates.

Then again, I'm no pro. Our site sucks, and it is mostly because of my cruddy coding. I seriously need to learn Cascading Style Sheets and clean it all up.

The Monkey rocks!

go webmonkey.com. You should have an idea of how HTML works before learning any WYSIG visual editor. HTML is simple.

Good luck,

Jaybo

another "learn the basics of HTML" before you start coding away person here.

Liz Castro is the author of HTML for the World Wide Web, now in it's 5 th edition. It's a great reference, lots of visual examples, and good for a beginner or expert. I basically taught myself HTML from these books. She has a new one, a very simple guide to style sheets, called "Creating a Web Page with HTML" which is kind of dummie's guide to CSS. That's what I needed to understand style sheets.
