Best training book for iWeb

Go to do a new website for first time in 15 years. Did last one in straight HTML. Used a "Learn HTML in 7 Days" book. Hopefully iWeb will make this second foray easier.
Any recommendations for good books for teaching iWeb (beyond the basics). I want to get past just posting pictures and movies. I want to be able to have pages where I post downloadable Word docs etc.
Also if I do basics in iWeb can I then take that code an modify / enhance in another web design program.
Thanks,
Alan

The vast majority of 'code'/features you'd use completely differently in another program or with another system. It's not really transferable knowledge, though you might pick up a couple of things. But if you've already learned HTML I'm sure you'll have no problems.
Posting downloadable Word docs is very simple. In fact, everything in iWeb is pretty simple providing it has the functionality available. (That said, allowing someone to download a Word doc in straight HTML is also very simple - just upload it to your server and create a hyperlink for visitors to download your doc).
Don't waste money on a book for web design. Ever. Everything you could possibly need is available on the Internet for free in an easier format, often with the ability to ask questions, and constantly being updated. Any book you buy will be at least a year behind.

    hi,

    so pls can any one suggest me which institute providing the best training for this course
    thank you in advanceThe best training is probably by Oracle University
    Goto [http://www.oracle.com/education] - choose Product Courses, Database and Grids:
    (eg [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=14&p_org_id=1080544&lang=US])
    In both cases ensure country selected on top right is India.
    On the schedule choose courses with +100% Student Satisfaction+
    It is hard, (though obviosly not impossible), for other institutions to better this standard of such courses.
    If you are aspiring to Oracle DBA OCP be very sure the institute you are choosing satisifies the requirements for the Hands on Course, and do not take the institutes word for it but check.
    It may well be that you are looking for institutions offering the WDP programme. This is a maximm of 6 hours/week over several weeks so IMHO is impractical if you do not live nearby. There appear to be comments that sometimes the training from these institutes doing the WDP course can be of very variable quality. Probably the only option here is to seek out the opinions of recent psat students you can trust.

  • The best reference book for Dreamweaver CS6

    Hello all:
    I'm teaching myself Dreamweaver CS6 through videos.  I haven't worked on Dreamweaver for many, many years.  The version I learned was Macramedia Dreamweaver 4 - so that tells you how long it's been!
    Please, could any of you all recommend a good referance guide.  Not a tutorial book.  Just something I can refer to when I get stuck.
    Thanks if you can help! 

    Unfortunately, there's no simple answer to this. CS6 Perpetual License is different from CS6 Creative Cloud.   New feature enhancements are being added to the Cloud software on a regular basis.  Whereas Perpetual License users do not get these major upgrades until they actually upgrade to CS7.
    Whichever product you use, learn all you can about modern HTML and CSS first.  This is required knowledge & it will make learning to work with DW much easier.

  • Best Training Materials for Premiere Pro?

    I'm a long time pro veteran of Photoshop, but fairly new to video editing and a total noob w Premiere Pro CC  (and after effects) I want to get on the fast track learning Premiere Pro and guess that taking an online video course is the most efficient path.
    I don't know if there are any courses yet for Premiere Pro CC 2014, but I suspect that I can make do with a good CC course. There's Lynda.com, and the Pearson/Adobe Press/Peachpit series (perhaps others that I haven't found yet) I'm not seeing much in the way of online reviews for these. Any forum denizens have useful opinions to share?
    I have only used iMovie, and GoPro Studio2. I prefer video training for general learning, with printed books (or PDF) for reference.
    Thanks!

    I second Lynda also.
    These are for free.

  • Looking for recommendations on training books for PS CS3

    I'm not complete newbie to Photoshop, but I know there is so much more I could get out of it.... so I'm looking for a good tutorial book. One that isn't going to cost me an arm & a leg.
    Thanks!

    Michael,
    No book will have solutions to all problems. Even the Web will come up short sometimes. That's what this forum is about.
    I'd start with the manual, then spend some time with the Help files (F1). Yeah, the manual doesn't read like Faulkner, but it's not bad and has the solution to many, many problems. It does rely too heavily, nowadays, on "(see Help files)," but ink and paper have gotten more expensive.
    Next, as someone else suggested, "Classroom in a Book," and work through it all, even the stuff you think you'll never need. You will pick up other knowledge, as you do those exercises.
    At that point, decide what you want to do with Photoshop. That will narrow your book/training down to specific areas, like "Photoshop for Photographers," "Photoshop for Video," etc.
    If you hit a problem, that you cannot solve with the manual, F1, "CiaB," Google and a search of this forum, please post your specific question.

  • Java Training Book for CAD API

    I am a CAD Design Engineer, and my CAD system (Pro/E) uses a Java application called J-Link for accessing the CAD system's API, apparently because this CAD system originated on the UNIX platform, although we use it on Windows. The Windows-based CAD systems I have used in the past used VBA for this purpose, with which I have a reasonable amount of training. I now need to gear up on Java to program for Pro/E. I could use some help in locating a book that would cover my needs. Most of what I've seen so far is considerable overkill, and does not deal with accessing an application's API through Java.
    I had the unfortunate past experience of naively taking two VB courses, thinking this would cover any possible topic in VBA (which I mistakenly thought was basically a VB-lite) only to find that it didn't, and I eventually found a good book on VBA that covered my needs. Nevertheless, I wasted a lot of time learning a lot of stuff which was not pertinent. I would like to avoid this with Java for J-Link.

    That CAD API doesn't sound like Sun code. (If it is, I'm not aware of it.)
    J-Link sounds proprietary to ProE. I'd be shocked if there were books available on it. You should look into documentation from Parametric Technologies.
    VB is NOT Java, that's for sure. If you don't know Java already, start with the Sun tutorial before you try to tackle this ProE API.

  • What is the best training option for developers moving from LabVIEW 7 to 2010?

    We have a group of developers who have been using LabVIEW 7.1 for 5+ years, and will be upgrading to LabVIEW 2010.  We're looking for some training that will help them get up to speed on the differences they'll encounter.  Since these developers are already very familiar with LabVIEW/dataflow programming, I think the Core I & II courses might have too much unnecessary content.  Ideally the training would focus on the big changes, like the Project Explorer, Project Libraries, etc.
    We could give them a stack of "What's new in LabVIEW X.XX" documents but obviously that's not too helpful.
    Any suggestions?

    Why would that NOT be helpful?  That plus the Project Explorer section in the LabVIEW manuals plus some time coding in LV2010 ought to bring anyone up to speed.  Try just diving right in, the changes aren't that fundamentally different since LV7.1.  NI training classes would certainly be overkill.
    Using LabVIEW: 7.1.1, 8.5.1 & 2013

  • Best beginner book for Oracle Application Express?

    Hello Dear members,
    I've got 12 years of experience developing Oracle applications using Oracle Forms and PL/SQL, that bit I'm an expert.
    But I'm torn between which book to buy to learn Oracle Application Express.
    The Expert Oracle Application Express vs Oracle Apex Cookbook is my main competition.
    I'm already doing the 2 day Developer guide, but want to go in a bit deeper.
    All of your suggestions welcome.
    Thanks
    Ravi

    Ravi,
    If you are not at all familiar with Application Express i would reccomend getting Beginning Oracle Application Express 4 because you will find that Pro Oracle Application Express 4, Second Edition, Expert Oracle Application Express and Oracle Apex Cookbook assume you have more of an unserstanding and some parts wont make sense. I had friend of mine get an advanced book and then immediately go back and get the beginner book because it just didnt have much meaning to him.
    Thanks,
    Tyson Jouglet

  • "Best" Java book for noob/advanced?

    Just Java 2 by Peter van der Linden and the Core Java series by Hortsmann and Cornell are my favorites. In my view, the latter being slightly more comprehensive with less toy-like examples.

    I've used these:
    - Beginning Java 2 by Horton to get started.
    - The Java Programming Language by Gosling and others to understand the principles behind the language.
    - Effective Java by Bloch to write better code.
    - Java Thread Programming by Hyde because my program is composed of 3 self-running parts.

  • What is the best book for Analysis Server 2012??

    What is the best published book for SSAS 2012?

    Thanks for the recommendation, Shankar! I would like to point out that the answer depends on what you mean by "SSAS 2012". Here are a few other recommendations...
    If it's SSAS 2012 Tabular, then yes, "SQL Server Analysis Services 2012: The BISM Tabular Model"
    is an option - but as a co-author I'm obviously biased! Teo Lachev's book, "Applied Microsoft
    SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services: Tabular Modeling" covers some of the same ground and is also very good. If you're just interested in DAX, Rob Collie's book "DAX
    Formulas for PowerPivot" is worth a look - even though it's for PowerPivot, the DAX language is the same as in SSAS Tabular.
    For SSAS 2012 Multidimensional, because not much has changed since SSAS 2008, any book for 2008 or 2008 R2 will still be relevant. I haven't seen the 2012 edition, but editions of "Professional
    Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services with MDX and DAX" for older versions of SSAS were good general introductions; "Microsoft
    SQL Server Analysis Services 2008 Step-By-Step" is also good. For more experienced developers there's another book I co-wrote, "Expert
    Cube Development with SQL Server 2008" (a refresh for SSAS 2012 is coming later this year); and for the really advanced SSAS developer who wants to understand the internals of the product there's "Microsoft
    SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services Unleashed", written by Edward Melomed and several other senior members of the SSAS dev team at the time. For MDX beginners I'd recommend "Microsoft
    SQL Server 2008 MDX Step--By-Step", and for more advanced MDX there's "MDX with Microsoft
    SQL Server 2008 R2 Analysis Services Cookbook".
    For the whole Microsoft BI stack, Brian Larson's books are always good (eg "Delivering Business
    Intelligence with SQL Server 2012") and cover more than just SSAS, although they go into less detail.
    HTH,
    Chris
