Web Design with Macromedia Studio MX 2004 FROM THE PUBLISHER
Web Design with Macromedia Studio MX 2004 provides beginning designers with a
step-by-step process for creating a Web site with the new Macromedia Studio MX
2004. Structured around a good Web development cycle of plan, design, build,
test, and maintain, the book starts by planning the site and creating a wire
frame with Freehand MX, along with vector graphics for use in Macromedia Flash
MX 2004 and Fireworks MX 2004. From there it moves to Flash, where the designer
learns how to create dynamic content for use on the Web. Next, Fireworks is used
to manipulate graphics and create Web page designs. Then the content is brought
into Dreamweaver MX 2004 and the site launched. Throughout the book, the focus
is not only on how to use each tool, but how to use them together to create a
seamless workflow.All of the tools needed to create and test the Web site are on
the book's CD-ROM, including trial versions of the Macromedia products covered
in the book, as well as the Open Source server technologies (Apache, MySQL, PHP,
and PERL).
