Adobe GoLive users learning Dreamweaver

asarapi — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 20:05:24 +0000

Many designers started designing websites with Adobe PageMill (html editor application), which then became Adobe GoLive. Both had good interfaces with smooth learning curves. Adobe discontinued GoLive in April 2008 in favor of their recently purchased Dreamweaver, and now we are forced to learn Dreamweaver with it’s maze-like interface, if we are to survive in a web developer’s dream. Although several years have passed, I still hope Adobe will improve this application or at least offer the same graphic mode of designing pages which GoLive offered.

After several failed attempts, I put off learning this Dreamweaver beast for years until yesterday, thanks to this tutorial “Dreamweaver for GoLive Users” by Sheri German, and expert in Dreamweaver, technology education, eLearning, Fireworks, Photoshop, design and typography.

More good tips, and video tutorials can be found on this Adobe Dreamweaver support section “Migrating from GoLive to Dreamweaver.” Hopefully we can break the barrier and get back to feeling in control of our web tools. I can always go back to using GoLive or ImageReady to design visually if I get stuck, but I love a good challenge

Mysterious…

“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.”
-Albert Einstein

New World Order… The Shock Doctrine

asarapi — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 19:53:53 +0000

Economic Shock Treatment or The Shock Doctrine is Naomi Klein’s research on Disaster Capitalism. We can see now that it is possible to re-program or control a person or even an entire society with shock therapy. Why is no one doing anything about current affairs? This method puts the victim in a child-like state, confused and unable to confront it’s attacker. The best way to stay oriented, to resist shock is to know what is happening to you and why. This bring to mind a line from the movie DUNE: “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
