"Macromedia Flash, or simply Flash, refers to both the Macromedia
Flash Player and to a multimedia authoring program used to create
content for this platform (such as games and movies). The Flash Player,
developed and distributed by Adobe Systems (which bought Macromedia), is
a client application available in most dominant web browsers. It
features support for vector and raster graphics, a scripting language
called ActionScript and bidirectional streaming of audio and video.
Strictly speaking, Macromedia Flash is the integrated development
environment (IDE) and Flash Player is the virtual machine used to run
the Flash files, but in colloquial language these have become mixed:
"Flash" can mean either the authoring environment, the player, or the
application files." [Wikipedia]

20 great
Dreamweaver tutorials
Covers versions 4 and MX - to the the most recent version 8!
"Macromedia Dreamweaver is a web development tool, created by
Macromedia (now Adobe Systems), which is currently in version 8. Initial
versions of the application served as simple WYSIWYG HTML editors but
more recent versions have incorporated notable support for many other
web technologies such as CSS, JavaScript, and various server-side
scripting frameworks. Dreamweaver has enjoyed widespread success since
the late 1990s and currently holds approximately 80% of the HTML editor
market. The software is available for both the Mac and Windows
platforms, but can also be run on Unix-like platforms through the use of
emulation software such as Wine.
As a WYSIWYG editor, Dreamweaver can hide the details of pages' HTML
code from the user, making it possible for non-experts to easily create
web pages and sites. Some web developers criticize this approach as
producing HTML pages that are much larger than they should be, which can
cause web browsers to perform poorly. This can be particularly true
because the application makes it very easy to create table-based
layouts. In addition, some web site developers have criticized
Dreamweaver in the past for producing code that often does not comply
with W3Cstandards. However, Macromedia has increased the support for CSS
and other ways to layout a page without tables in later versions of the
application." [Wikipedia] |

8 great ColdFusion tutorials
Covers version MX!
"ColdFusion is the original and most common implementation of a tag
and ECMAScript-based programming language -- ColdFusion Markup Language
(CFML) and CFSCRIPT, respectively -- which is typically used in web
application development for the generation of dynamic web pages.
Originally a product of Allaire, in 2001 the company was purchased by
Macromedia, who subsequently merged with Adobe Systems in 2005.
ColdFusion resembles a scripting language best suited for data-driven
web sites. More advanced users can use ColdFusion as a productivity
layer above a J2EE platform or use ColdFusion as middleware in a service
oriented architecture (SOA), such as generating web services or Flash
remoting." [Wikipedia] |

great tutorials to help you learn to use Director versions 8.5 and MX.
"Macromedia Director is a powerful media application created by
Macromedia - now part of Adobe Systems. It allows users to build
applications built on a movie metaphor, with the user as the "director"
of the movie.
Its scripting language Lingo motivated some to use this application.
Many companies deliver demonstrations or use it as a user interface (UI)
for content on CDs and DVDs. It can incorporate many different formats
(e.g. AVI, BMP, QuickTime, PNG, JPEG, RealVideo) thus making it possible
to integrate without re-encoding files. It also supports vector graphics
and 3D interactivity, which can be used for producing games. Version MX
and its successors are also easily linked with Flash animation.." [Wikipedia] |

What is a
Tutorial/Tuition Set? |
Listed above is not even 1% of the
content in these tutorials. They really are huge!
The tutorials are packed full of code examples,
illustrations, diagrams, exercises and quizzes to aid the learning process,
making our tutorials true learning workshops.
Our Tuition sets contain many tutorials. These tutorials are
very in depth and real value for money. For example, if we say the
Java Set contained 43 tutorials, we do not mean that
one tutorial is “How to create an array in Java” another is “How to
manipulate strings in Java”. 43 tutorials means 43 huge text based
tutorials. Each tutorial has hundreds, and in some cases, thousands
of pages. So one Java tutorial may mean a 750 page tutorial on Java
Beans! An amazing electronic
tuition set, supplied on a DVD with software for viewing.
This is NOT
paper based. Please see our
FAQ
for more information.
