Technical tutorials

We all come into this course with a various skill set and technical skills. Each of us has strengths and weakness when it comes to web site design skills and website technical skills. The most important thing to remember is that we are all working a team. We learn from each other, we share information with each other, we learn together and we will make a project together. Let’s determine what additional technical skills each of you would like to work on and set up a schedule for doing tutorials. We will be using Dreamweaver as our primary WYSIWY editor tool. Some of you might wish to use other tools. You are welcome to use any tool you need to. Just keep in mind that documents will be shared with other and the team need to agree on the tools for development from the beginning. There are lots of ways to program and develop a site. There are a lot of available technology too. It's important to develop the site within your ability as a team.

Start by making a list of skills you would like to learn or review. I would like to have everyone lead the class through a tutorial. It is an important skill to have when working as a team. Learn to communicate skills and teach others as, other will teach you along the way. We will make a schedule for the tutorials and presenters.

1. Sprys
