Im planning to start using Dreaweaver CS3 and Flash CS3 to make websites. Can anyone reccommend some good books that would teach me the basics? I have never used this software before and have little understanding of HTML
 
you need photoshop skills before flash

not sure if the "classroom in a book" from adobe is still around but they're great

the best way to learn flash is not through a book ..go to flashkit.com ..search for tutorials or download flash source files that users have made, take them apart and see what makes them work ..hands on is always the best way to learn
 
I have the ebooks for them 'clasroom ina book' series but cant get hold of the accompanying CD-ROM :-(
 
well you shouldnt need it ..just follow the tutorials
 
cool, what about Lynda.com?? Anyone used that site?

I've heard their tutorials are really good. Especially ones by Chad Perkins. But video tutorials are generally kind of expensive, but if you have the money go for it I guess especially since you've already paid for the software and want to get the most out of it. They won't be nearly as in depth as books will be, but having a visual approach to things is a great way to learn, at least I think so.

I was actually going to suggest Lynda.com tutorials, or TotalTraining.com video tutorials before I saw your post.


I think with Lynda.com you can even subscribe to their site and look at all their video tutorials with a monthly fee. I'm not sure how all the rules on that work though, but you can check it out.


EDIT: After looking... their subscription plan is VERY reasonable compared to buying the CD's themselves. And with no limitations.

Each of our subscription options lets you view every tutorial in our library, any time you want, as many times as you need.
 
cool after ive completed the classroom book I'l have a go with Lynda.... ;-) lol
