What Makes Adobe Dreamweaver Student Learning Different?

Balancing Eye Candy and Usability with Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 by SoftwareGuru To understand web design in 2011, it's useful to visit the visually impressive 20 things I learned about browsers and the web. Built in HTML5, it illustrates an overview of the history of the internet as well as what can be achieved visually without the use of Flash. Even if you know very little about web design, it is well worth a few minutes of your time. So what will make you a web designer? We discussed this recently in the blog post, the Future Of Web Design: In The Browser Or Dreamweaver CS5? There is no doubt that Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 is incredibly useful as a learning tool, providing we don't rely on it merely to highlight our mistakes. The issue of CMS sites and bland, generic web design remains a hot topic of debate but at least school pupils can get hold of cheap webdesign software such as Microsoft Expression 4 at £22.95 if Adobe is out of their price range. Dreamweaver remains the industry standard for web designers - so what can students gain from using it?
	Learning with Adobe Dreamweaver In 2011 there is definitely a case to be made for student designers to have access to both Dreamweaver and Expression Web products. Beginners are likely to find Expression Web less intimidating and many Dreamweaver CS5 reviews including PCMag.com questioned its "suitability for novices at all". However, a quick browse of the endless stream of Dreamweaver tutorial videos on YouTube can help students get to grips with all of the most common challenges. Anyone starting out in web design must accept that it is a journey which requires patience and continuous education. In an article for Adobe.com, Jeffrey Zeldman's 'Style versus Design' analysis has resonated with many designers around the world. It may have been written several years ago but it is every bit as relevant today in the social media era as it was when it was first published. No matter which software tool you use, getting the balance right between eye candy and practical usability must be a priority. Learning with Dreamweaver may make it easier to create the eye candy but that doesn't make you a better web designer.
Wealth of Learning Resources The long running nature of Adobe Dreamweaver means that there is a huge online community built up over many years around it. Video tutorials are only one aspect of this community. Add-ons, plugins, and custom tricks provide even more functionality and design possibilities. Countless blogs exist on Dreamweaver which can provide the latest design trends, techniques and more. Magazines such as .NET regularly run articles on designing in Dreamweaver CS5 and interview leading web design industry figures. Paying a little bit more for Dreamweaver over Expression Web isn't just about the software itself. You're choosing a tool that comes with a wealth of free online learning resources. Best of all, buy Dreamweaver CS5 student edition today and you will receive the 80% student discount. That's a huge saving on the regular price and ensures you will receive free updates and much more. If you have the determination and patience to succeed, this is one of the best career investments you could ever make. To discover more visit our Dreamweaver CS5 student page now!
