			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-445" title="Guelph-Humber" src="http://www.designmeme.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/guelphhumber-01-biowall-300x300.jpg" alt="Guelph-Humber" width="300" height="300" />I&#8217;ll be teaching Web Design at the University of Guelph-Humber again this fall.  In addition to the in-class lectures and hands-on lab work I&#8217;m also going to be posting content here for both my in-class students as well as other people who might be interested in learning the basics of web design.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve had almost 40,000 people view the first DreamWeaver tutorial I posted on YouTube and have had a lot of requests to continue posting more, so this fall I&#8217;m hoping to make more of the topics covered in class available as video tutorials that anyone can follow along with.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re one of my students, or would just like to check out the books I&#8217;m going to be using in class the course textbooks we&#8217;ll be using are:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/032159150X?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=robergames-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=032159150X"><img src="http://www.designmeme.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/517dC96zPKL._SL160_.jpg" border="0" alt="Creating a Web Site in Dreamweaver CS4: Visual QuickProject Guide by Nolan Hester" /><br />
Creating a Web Site in Dreamweaver CS4: Visual QuickProject Guide by Nolan Hester</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=robergames-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=032159150X" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s similar to the book I&#8217;ve used in previous years but more focused on DreamWeaver which should be more helpful for the later section of the course where some students had challenges in the past.  It&#8217;s a relatively small + inexpensive book.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0321563654?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=robergames-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0321563654"><img src="http://www.designmeme.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/51FUZBUbD9L._SL160_.jpg" border="0" alt="Photoshop CS4, Volume 1: Visual QuickStart Guide by Elaine Weinmann and Peter Loureka" /><br />
Photoshop CS4, Volume 1: Visual QuickStart Guide by Elaine Weinmann and Peter Loureka</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=robergames-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0321563654" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve had numerous students ask for an additional book to help with PhotoShop.  This one is a bit more expensive, but still not nearly as much as many University textbooks.</p>
<p>Both books should be available at the Guelph-Humber bookstore in early September.  They&#8217;re for the current versions of DreamWeaver + PhotoShop (CS4) which is what students would be downloading from Adobe and/or buying from any stores.  That should be the version we have in the labs as well.</p>
