Dreamweaver Training from Adobe. Any Good?

I've been doing HTML coding since 1995. Starting out with
Notepad and then Homesite and moved to Dreamweaver as soon as it
came out. I'm using MX2004 right now.
I know quite a bit about DW and use it quite a lot. But I'm
still kind of "old school" about many of it's features. In fact,
I'm more comfortable working with the code to get things to turn
out the way I want.
I just got a big contract to do a new website for a client
and I want to use many of the "newer" features like Templates etc,
and I'm looking for the best way to train with these areas. Adobe
sells a complete training sereis on DVD for $199. Has anyone tried
it? Is it worth the money?
I'm pretty sure that Dreamweaver will do vastly more than I'm
using it for at present. So an overall training approach, but not
for total beginners sounds best to me.
Thanks for the help

And, I recommend Dreamweaver 8: The Missing Manual, by Dave
McFarland (and
his EXCELLENT companion book) CSS: The Missing Manual.

Wishlist for Dreamweaver CS5 (from Adobe Website) - Don´t let ADDT die.

Wishlist for Dreamweaver CS5 from adobe site.
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

Hi Günter
It's been a long time since I've been here. Hope life is treating you well.
Tried a lot of other DW extensions in the mean time
None of them match the robustness of ADDT
Most are buggy, one shot ponies that miss the bigger picture of providing integrated tools for development. All I've tried are a closed shop of functions and variables that you have to navigate by hand if you want any sort of amended functionality - on the whole a pretty poor lot.
And, I've looked at many of the off the shelf offerings that Adobe had told us that are clients wanted rather than bespoke solutions.
And no, most don't want them - they still just want concise tools/interfaces that are easy to learn, use and do what THEY want them to do. Not behemoth collections of options, bells an whistles. Naturally some do and I'm happy to oblige (who wants to write a forum from scratch!). So its not clear cut either way as seemed to be implied a year or so ago.
Yes, it would be nice just to have the toolkit useable from CS5
- but as ever, the end users are out of the picture. Maybe there will be a new version, or completely new tools - that would be most welcome.
We still need good data tools. Integration with databases (none of my clients want to pull data from HTML tables - no matter how clever that is) and
CSS Style frameworks that take the grind out of positioning and styling every little item.
Gadgets and Gizmos - YUI3 looks like the one with the most backing - judging from YUI2 - have to keep and eye on that.
Let's hope Adobe have finally put back some functionality for php mysql developers with CS5
and the the wilderness that DW has been in for the last couple of years grows some strong roots
best regards

Are lightning cables from eBay any good?

Hey folks, I am currently using an iPhone 5 and I am looking to purchase two more lightning cables for it - one for my car and the other for my office at work.
Are lightining cables from eBay good enough? They're running for $3-4 a pop so it would save me some money. Anyone have any experience with these cables from eBay?
I am well aware of the fact that iOS 7 will display an annoying popup everytime I connect this "non-apple certified" lightining cable but I think I can live with that.
Thanks in advance!

Geez, relax man I get what you're saying but I can't justify spending $50+ for two charging cables. Charging cables......I mean common. Plus, I don't understand the need for those "identification chips" in these lightning cables. Seems like a waste of money to me and we the consumers needlessly end up paying more for something we probably don't even need. I mean, I don't see these identification chips in micro-usb charging cables, nor did Apple have them in their old 30-pin cables. Apple can be really controlling sometimes lol.
If you're going to say if you don't like thier policies maybe you shouldn't by an Apple product, save it.

Purchased Lightroom 6 - Download Link from Adobe no good

Just purchased LR 6 (stand alone version / not CC). Logged into Adobe, in my account and the Order is listed with a link for Download. But when I click on it, a new tab/window opens and it says "413 Header Length Too Large."
And that's the end of many attempts. So not sure if it's too many people flooding the servers, or something strange where the order/payment/download isn't up and running yet. I have a copy of the invoice/receipt and it has a serial
number for the download. So don't think there's a payment related issue. Any ideas?

When I downloaded the link (for an upgrade to standalone version) I got CC, not a standalone. They are really trying to push CC.

"Adobe Dreamweaver PHP Training from David Powers

“Adobe® Dreamweaver® CS5 with PHP Training from the Source David Powers
Lesson 7 Validating Input on the Server
I have reached page 445, and become completely stuck - I've been about three weeks trying to sort the problem but cant get anywhere. Not sure what to do from here so any advice would be really appreciated. The problem:
I have completed the script exactly as instructed, when I go live (local sever), I get a blank screen, OK, does not display. I am sure this is something simple but I have done all the fault finding and am out foxed. I know the local server works OK - I completed chapter 6 successfully - I can also run a php test page from the local folder that the file is stored in. i.e provictis/phpcs5. I have saved my ZendFraework in a separate location as advised. i.e. User/SPENNY/...
This is the basic code:
<?php
$library='/Users/SPENNY/ZendFramework/library';
set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR .
$library);
require_once('Zend/Loader/Autoloader.php');
$loader=Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();
if ($loader) {
          echo 'ok';
} else {
          echo 'Huston we have a blinkin problem, but do not panic we will get things sorted';

i finally did get the message problem was with:
$mailhost='ssl://mail.domain.com';
ssl:// was just nonsense and been removed
2)
'auth' => 'true' was changed to 'auth' => 'login'
3)
for bluehost i got information that it was tls secure connection protocol not ssl
'ssl' => 'tls'
4)
port used '25' not 465.
Didnt still tried 26 and 465 maybe they would work too.

Is Flex 4 Training from the source any better than Adobe's own Using Flex 4?

I am preparing for the Flex 4 ACE exam from Using Flex 4. Is there a good reason for me to switch to the training from the source book?

Firstly note that F4TFS is in 2 parts, and although part 2 appears to have been published at the end of 2010, AFAIK it appears to be unavailable right now. I have read F3TFS, and am going through F4TFS at the moment. Using Flex 4, available free as a 32Mb PDF, is a very useful reference, along with the 12 or so other Flex books available free from Adobe. While Using Flex 4 is a reference (including plenty of example code), F3/4TFS is structured as a series of lessons, working on the same project (Flex Grocer shopping cart app) throughout. It touches on most aspects of Flex development, and is a great guide for beginners. If I have one criticism of the book, it is that a shopping cart example is going to be inherently dull- so if you have a low boredom threshold you will have to force yourself through the examples. I would still recommend it as a beginner's book, although in the real world you are unlikely to be using Design Mode much, except for throw-away prototypes. If you have a project you want to get started on right away, then you could just wade in and start coding using the Adobe documentation for help, but if you'd like to have an existing example, then F4TFS is for you.
When learning Flex its best to read as much as possible, so I'd widen your reading if possible to include the Flex 4 Bible, AdvancED Flex 4, Enterprise Development with Flex, etc, and the absolute shedloads of blog posts and examples on the internet.

I am trying to reinstall Dreamweaver CS3 from the CD after having computer issues. Now getting error "You can only install one Adobe product at a time. Please complete the other installation before attempting to install ......." There is no other Adobe product installing. I have used the Adobe Cleaner Tool many times and uninstalled other Adobe Products but neither has worked. I have uninstalled/reinstalled this CD version of Dreamweaver several times when changing computers and after having computer issues. A google search of the problem suggested it may be an error related to the number of times I can reinstall this product due to licensing issues. Please help.

A google search of the problem suggested it may be an error related to the number of times I can reinstall this product due to licensing issues.
Absolutely not. You are misinterpreting things. The activation check never happens when just running the installer, only much later. It means what it says - there is another "install" pending/ active on your system, meaning somewhere there is an (invisible) process still blocking things. Either way, since you haven't provided any real technical info, we can't advise specifically. if you are on Windows, you may want to check your task manager and terminate any setup.exe and msiexec.exe processes plus potentially may need to manually fix/ delete some registry keys. For anything beyond that you will have to be much more specific.

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen!
My question concerns the impossibility to open RAW-files directly from the program Adobe Bridge. At the moment when you open a RAW-file from Adobe Bridge by double-clicking, RAW-file is opened only in Photoshop. In the settings Adobe Bridge - in "open RAW-files by double-clicking in Adobe Camera Raw» box is checked. When you try any changes in the settings Adobe Bridge system displays a message:
Bridge's parent application is not active. Bridge requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature.
The entire line of Adobe products on my computer updated to the latest updates. Previously, a family of products Adobe Photoshop on your computer is not set. Computer - PC, Windows 7 Enterprises.

Rithu,
This would be a good place to start: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff628958(v=office.14).aspx
There are also several videos on Youtube as well. I am not sure if there is a 'structured' course available for Project Server 2010

Any Good Way To Edit Wordpress In Dreamweaver?

Hey guys,
Firstly here's my site:
http://buyproactolplus.net/
What I want is to be able to edit everything easily in Dreamweaver CS4.I want to take the text from the wordpress editor and copy it into Dreamweaver but I need to see a preview when I make changes without going back and forth.
Is there any way that I can somehow get the previews working accurately instead of just having a blank site when I copy from the editor?
Awaiting response hope there is a workaround. Thanks in advance!
Dean

I forgot to mention that if you want to Preview a dynamic site locally, you must install a Local Testing Server on your PC.
Get one of the following servers for your OS and follow the installation instructions.
WAMP for Windows

Any good APEX training class in NJ?

Hi,
I'm a newbie to APEX. I'm at the point that I think I could use some serious APEX training.
what's your thought on APEX training? Did you folks just pick it up by yourself? How? BTW, the thousands of pages of User Manual/Advanced Tutorial do NOT help much, sometimes, they could be even confusing.
Any pointer to any good APEX training classes in NJ is appreciated. For some reason, APEX training in NJ is not on Oracle University's schedule. Or any other alternative? via video?
Thanks much,
Helen

I took the first two courses on APEX from DBCON (http://www.dbcon.com/courses.html). It's an online course which I'm not a huge fan of normally, but these two courses were helpful for me. The courses also included the "Pro Oracle Application Express" book which has also been helpful for me:
http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-Application-Express-Experts-Voice/dp/159059827X/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_a/176-1278633-2182101
Disclaimer: I have absolutely no relationship with DBCON whatsoever. Just my two bits.

Hello, on Mac, when I make a .pdf from a .doc, Acrobat reverses pagination. How do i stop this and get normal order 1,2, 3 ... ? And how will I know whether any good soul has answered, thanks much.

Hello, on Mac, when I make a .pdf from a .doc, Acrobat reverses pagination. How do i stop this and get normal order 1,2, 3 ... ? And how will I know whether any good soul has answered, thanks much.

How are you creating the file, exactly?
And if you don't manage to solve it you can use this free tool I've developed to reverse the page order in Acrobat with a single click:
