The impressive practical relevance of the training courses and thus the added value for the user is the result of close cooperation with the manufacturer Adobe combined with the highest professionalism of the renowned authors.
For InDesign, for example, the user can first work through the basics or dive directly into the depths of the program: For example, the well-known trainer Gerald Singelmann delivers “Adobe’s Top Ten” on the subject of InDesign CS3 in his video training “Adobe InDesign CS3 – Dirty Tricks” – a hit parade of new functions and features, so to speak, with which layouts can be designed even more effectively and efficiently. And all this in a form that goes far beyond the manual.
The same applies to Flash: The newcomer is introduced successively to the new Flash version in the basic training; initial successes can quickly be achieved by creating small banners or interactive navigation structures.
For application developers, there is special training devoted to the development of complex Rich Internet Applications based on modern technologies with Flash CS3, Flex and ActionScript 3.0. The user experiences clearly how cross-platform applications are created that are stable and performant, but also visually convincing.
Graphics, logos, posters, illustrations, but also Flash animations can be created with Illustrator CS3. The first-time user learns how vector tools work, how to insert text and graphics or define gradients and contours. A detailed chapter is also devoted to the output of PDF files and export to a wide variety of other formats. Users who already have experience benefit from practical tips and tricks and get to know the new functions of Illustrator CS3.
The video training on Dreamweaver shows how to use Dreamweaver CS3’s tools and functions to reach the goal quickly and effectively. This applies equally to CSS design professionals and multimedia experts or even administrators of complex websites.
