This innovative product is an in-depth video training course and accompanying 48-page full-color book, aimed at web designers looking to make the leap to cutting-edge Web technologies using Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5. Dreamweaver CS5.5 provides designers with the tools needed to build modern websites with HTML5, CSS3, and jQuery. In this video course, experienced author and trainer David Powers explains which parts of HTML5 and CSS3 you can use now with confidence. He shows how to convert existing pages to HTML5 and build new ones from scratch. You'll also learn how to create CSS3 effects-such as drop shadows, rounded corners, and transparency-without the need for images. In addition, David shows how to choose the right CSS selector, knowledge that you'll find indispensible not only for creating style rules, but also for working with jQuery. The course takes you through the process of adapting for mobile phones and tablets a website that was originally designed for desktop computers. You'll learn how to use CSS media queries to apply different styles depending on screen width, viewing the changes in real time in Dreamweaver's Live view. The course concludes with an introduction to jQuery, and demonstrates how to enhance online forms with the help of Dreamweaver CS5.5's built-in code hints for jQuery. This product includes over eight hours of exceptional quality video tutorials, with lesson files, assessment quizzes, and review materials. The video is wrapped in a unique interface that allows the viewer to jump to any topic and also bookmark individual sections for later review. The unique Watch-and-Work mode shrinks the video into a small window to allow the student to work alongside in Dreamweaver. Project files used in the lessons are included on the disc so viewers can practice what they've learned, and interactive review questions help reinforce freshly gained knowledge. Selected videos can be downloaded for viewing on iPhones, iPods, and other compatible mobile devices. The DVD-ROM is bundled with a printed booklet that provides supplemental material to enhance the video training.

It’s widely predicted that mobile phones and tablets will overtake desktop PCs as the most common Web access devices within the next two or three years. Adobe is responding to this dramatic shift by focusing on new tools to develop websites for multiple platforms with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in Dreamweaver CS5.5. In particular, Dreamweaver engineers have been working closely with the developers of jQuery, the de-facto standard JavaScript framework, to develop jQuery Mobile. This is a new JavaScript/CSS framework designed to create websites and applications that work consistently in all major mobile platforms, including iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, and Symbian (Nokia). This book explores in depth the integration of jQuery Mobile in Dreamweaver, together with other new features aimed at building websites that work across multiple devices. Using a series of practical examples, the book will show how to optimize an existing website for display in desktops, tablets, and mobile phones, using CSS media queries. Readers will also learn how to create a dedicated mobile site using jQuery Mobile. Although Dreamweaver will generate much of the necessary code automatically, the book will explain the structure of jQuery Mobile websites and web applications, so that developers can go beyond the basics to add custom functionality and design features. The book will also utilize the core jQuery framework, demonstrating how the new jQuery code hinting in Dreamweaver CS5.5 speeds up the development process for experienced developers and acts as a learning aid for those new to jQuery. Readers will learn how to convert a jQuery Mobile web application into a native app (that can be loaded on an iPhone or Android device) using PhoneGap, another open source framework.

This book combines accessible, clear, engaging and candid reference material, advice and shortcuts with substantial step-by-step instructions for creating a wide range of HTML5 and CSS3 designs and page content in Dreamweaver. This book is geared towards experienced Dreamweaver web designers migrating to HTML5 and jQuery. It also targets web designers new to Dreamweaver who want to jump with two feet into the most current Web design tools and features. While focused primarily on Dreamweaver CS5.5, the book includes content of value to readers using older versions of Dreamweaver with directions on installing a version of Adobe's HTML5 Pack that updates those packages.
