Web Design Course
Posted by Stuart Robertson | Announcements
I’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’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.
I’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’m hoping to make more of the topics covered in class available as video tutorials that anyone can follow along with.
If you’re one of my students, or would just like to check out the books I’m going to be using in class the course textbooks we’ll be using are:
Creating a Web Site in Dreamweaver CS4: Visual QuickProject Guide by Nolan Hester
It’s similar to the book I’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’s a relatively small + inexpensive book.
Photoshop CS4, Volume 1: Visual QuickStart Guide by Elaine Weinmann and Peter Loureka
I’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.
Both books should be available at the Guelph-Humber bookstore in early September. They’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.
