For a beginner, what do i lose by using fireworks to create whole webpage?

I created a webpage completely using fireworks--images and all text, etc-- and i used dreamweaver to connect to remote server and put in hotspots to link to other pages. Are my options limited by doing this, assuming all i need is a basic web site? Would you guys recommend making the template in fireworks and adding text/images in dreamweaver? if so, why?

Fireworks is basically a graphics program. Dreamweaver is an HTML authoring environment (and other code, too).
Fireworks has an HTML export capability so that you can make mockups to show people. The code you get out of Fireworks is not robust and it is not easy to troubleshoot or maintain.
What you want to do is design your layout in, and export your graphics from, Fireworks, then build your HTML in Dreamweaver. For a mulit-page site, go with Dreamweaver templates. Once you create a page that looks the way you want, you can save that design as a template. Then, you can create pages using that template. The bonus to a DW template is that if you decide one element needs changing on all your pages, you change the template and DW updates all the pages that use the template. It's pretty slick.
Use FW for graphics, and DW for code. That's what they were built for.

No, not unless it is simply a network connection.
How is your IPTV being provided.. if it is using a separate vlan or separate vpi/vci in the adsl connection. Who is your ISP?
Is the TP-Link ADSL?
Is the IPTV using a separate voice channel on adsl?
Or a different vlan.
Sorry but it is something where a definite answer is not possible unless you provide all the details.
The setups are unique to each ISP around the world..
Here is one for our local ISP.
http://www.avenard.org/iptv/Setup.html
He has a section on getting this working with apple router over wireless.. look
http://www.avenard.org/iptv/IPTV_and_Wireless.html
Google around and see if other people have had success.. the whole setup is tricky.. and it is hard if nobody has used it who actually understands networking.

Video camera compatibility for CS5? what sequence setting do I use?

I am new to the extraordinarily complex world of hard drive/hybrid cameras. I have always used tape and firewires with few problems. A student came in today with new camera she just bought a Panasonic SDR –H85. We downloaded a video file, but it would not import into Premiere. I also had no idea which of the dozen new sequence set-ups to use. How do I find out camera compatibility for CS5? (Adobe doesn’t list specific models.) And what sequence setting do I use?

Thanks for your help! For some reason we had a hard time finding these specs. It looks like it is a SD camera, not a High Definition camera (the HD on the side of the camera mistakenly meant Hard Drive, not High Definition?)
At any rate we now need to use the Adobe media encoder to convert the file so that we can import it into Premiere ….all with a loss of quality due to the re-rendering. (btw, what is the best file to re-render?). I suggested that the student who just bought it return it for a camera (preferably High Def) that will work in Premiere. Any suggestions?

What is the advantage of using IB to create XIBs/Class Objects over coding?

Hi all,
I hoping someone can provide me some pros and cons as to when I should use IB to create XIBs and/or class objects as opposed to directly coding them.
For example, if I choose Apple's Template for creating a Navigation Based Application (cocoa touch), the project creates two NIB files - MainMenu and RootViewController.
However looking at one of demo apps SimpleDrillDown, it does not have a RootViewController XIB and instead creates it via code.
Another example from the same two apps is that the template generates a "Navigation Controller" class object in the Mainmenu.xib. SimpleDrillDown does not bother with this in the XIB, but uses code to generate the controller:
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
// Create the navigation and view controllers
RootViewController *rootViewController = [[RootViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *aNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:rootViewController];
self.navigationController = aNavigationController;
[aNavigationController release];
[rootViewController release];
// Configure and show the window
[window addSubview:[navigationController view]];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
as opposed to the template which only needs this:
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
// Configure and show the window
// Navigation Controller is defined in MainWindow.xib
[window addSubview:[navigationController view]];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
So what are the advantages of each approach. Why does apple suggest one approach and yet all its demos use another.
Any thoughts, answers gratefully received.
TIA, Michael.

You can do whatever you're comfortable with, but most of the best Cocoa programmers--the ones on the Mac, I mean--recommend putting everything you can into Interface Builder.
It's a little like the difference between writing a program to do a bunch of financial calculations and using a spreadsheet. Yeah, the program can do everything the spreadsheet can--and more besides--but you'll find it far easier to create, use and modify the spreadsheet.
Interface Builder takes away a lot of completely meaningless choices ("What order should I create the objects in? How should I name the variables? How should I create their frames? What order should I set the attributes in?"), leaving you with an interface optimized for creating and arranging objects, and allowing your code to focus on what you really do need to think about--your application's logic.
(By the way--part of the reason Apple's demos don't all use Interface Builder is that the very first SDK releases didn't have it. Back then, you had to create all your views programatically. Believe me, I have no wish to go back to setting autoresize masks manually. Now get off my lawn, whippersnapper.)

What "Partitions" type should I use when I create an image in Disk Utility?

I have a Sony HDR-SR1 camcorder and have been creating images in Disk Utility to dump copies of my camcorders hard drive to. That way I can mount the disk image and import into iMovie just as if the camera was plugged in. These are the options I've been using:
Volume Size: varies
Volume Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Encryption: none
Partitions: Single partition - Apple Partition Map (the default I believe)
Image Format: read/write disk image
The option I'm not sure of and can't find much information on is Partitions. Up until now all the ones I've created use what I listed above. What is the difference between all the options (hard disk, cd/dvd, no partition, single partition - *multiple options*) and what should I be using to ensure long term compatibility with these disk images. Thanks.

You don't need the journaling feature. Everything else appears proper. As for the various formats, check DU's help files.

HT202157 With Netflix I get a message that content requires HDCP for playback. What should I do

On Apple TV using Netflix I get a message that content requires HDCP for playback. What should I do

Are you using an HDMI to HDMI lead or some kind of adapter for HDMI?
Try a different HDMI lead or socket.
Unplug and restart the AppleTV and also power the TV on/off.
HDCP is a digital copy protection system - AppleTV doesn't like some aspect of the connection so is refusing to play - the lead/socket could be dodgy or AppleTV/TV circuitry.

Companies that use Fireworks for web

Does anyone have a list of companies that use Fireworks
primarily for web design instead of Photoshop in the US?
Specifically in Los Angeles, California?
Thanks

> As an advocate of the software it would be nice to say
to my boss "Hey,
> giant
> corporation X uses Fireworks. Maybe we should too".
(Note: I don't wish to undermine this thread with this
tangent. Apologies to
the OP.)
Yes that would be nice but bosses look for business cases to
switch or
change operations. Employees look for nice features.
"Hey, giant corporation X uses Fireworks. Maybe we should
too" is not a
business case. It's a preference based on comparing your
company to another,
which may or may not be relevant. It's not a compelling case
or approach
e.g. tell me why corporation X uses Fireworks.
The language to which a boss is receptive is more like:
"we currently do x in Photoshop daily which takes 2 minutes
every time we do
it - that's an aggregate of 2 hours daily. This would take
one mouseclick in
Fireworks and we'd get automatic y and instant z at the same
time. That's an
extra project we can finish each day, with no extra labour
cost, simply by
switching software. Cost to switch would be $w (zero?) for
hardware, $x for
software plus $y (zero?) for training."
If I was the boss hearing this from my employee, my attitude
would be: "I'm
listening. Show me more. Let's trial Fireworks and the
operational change
for 30 days and review it then".

So iWeb is dead? what is the next best thing for a beginner?

Hi Guys,
I have my new Mac and i want to build my first website....with iWeb dead, what is the next best web builder for a beginner like me...? I want to creat a blog add the odd photo and link to my twitter page. Thats about it.....any suggestions?
Many thanks
Ian

Are you saying that you have an iWeb blog hosted on a 3rd party ftp server which allows visitors to add comments? That would be a first since the following has always been part of iWeb's Help file:
Features Unavailable When Publishing to a 3rd Party Server:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
The following is a screenshot of iWeb Help on publishing to an ftp server:
Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two feature will be broken.

What Illy CS4 book would you recommend for the beginner to grow with?

Hello All,
I am looking for a good illustrator cs4 book for the beginner to grow with.
I have read reviews on amazon but thought I might ask the pros.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The instructions that ship with the program: The Help menu.
I know it's boring, but if you want to learn a new program, the most expedient way is to work through the provided manual, cover to cover. Don't just read it, actually perform the operations it describes.
Third-party books almost universally involve these downsides:
They are expensive.
They are incomplete. They try to walk a fence-edge between rank beginner and intermediate user; between being merely a too-wordy reiteration of the Help files and next-level techniques for the more experienced user. The reason is obvious: the goal is to sell to as wide a range of users as possible. The result is often unsatisfying: They can't possibly include everything in the Help files, so they leave gaps for the beginner. But they feel compelled to appeal to beginners, so the experienced user has to weed through a bunch of entry-level bulk, just to get to the "juicy stuff" he's interested in. He pay's 100% price for about 15% of the content.
The are inefficient. They are full of unnecssary verbiage attempting to be clever, cute, hip, friendly, and thereby supposedly more "approachable." Most fail miserably at this, and the result is you have to read through endless passages of such original content as "this will knock your socks off" and "this is awesome" when what you really need is "just the facts, ma'am." The Help files fall under the stylistic guidelines of technical documentation: They adhere to "just-the-facts, ma'am."
They are short-lived. They go quickly out-of-date, which is one of the reasons why they are too expensive: They have to make their money quickly after release.
I'm not saying don't buy any. I have a small fortune's-worth myself, all but a dozen or so of which I wish I had never bought. With the money I wasted on them (plus interest), I could buy a new Honda Fury. I'm just saying do the included documentation--however painful--first. And keep doing it for new features when new versions are released. That will get you there the quickest, because it will lay the necessary foundations of overall interface scheme and basic object principles. Then, when you have that understanding, look only for books that are targeted toward an at-least intermediate level user. That way, your money will be spent, but it will be better-invested.

What is the best wysiwyg SQL solution for a beginner?

Hi there,
I want to go from Access to SQL due to the fact that SQL can handle more users, posts etc..
Only problem is I'm quite used to the Access interface and seeing/reading directly off the tables,
something I understand is not that easy when it comes to SQL. So in order to get started I need
to start off with a program that is easy and understandable for a beginner.
Is there a WYSIWYG program out there that can make this transaction to SQL easier?
And final question, what type of SQL is best suited for windows/ traditional asp pages?
Regards,
Christian
DWCS5.5 | Access | Asp

SQL stands for Structured Query Language and has nothing to do with a specific DBMS as MS Access also supports SQL as well. If you are looking to move away from Access, then any of the major DBMS will work - Sybase, Oracle, MS SQL Server, MySQL, etc - with ASP.
As Pegaprint points out. MS Access can be used as a front end to any ODBC database. I work with large enterprise databases and have many front end tools available, but still use MS Access often to design queries because it's simple and works great. In any event, your first task is probably to get a good understanding of SQL as that will be crucial.

How to make a really basic pong game for a beginner

Hello. I've read through a couple of threads on here dealing with making a game of pong in LabView, but in them the users had questions with far more complex aspects of the program than I want to deal with. I am a beginner programmer in LabView with limited experience in Java and Visual Basic programming. I was tasked with creating a game over winter break, and now that I finally have some time (this weekend that is), I decided that I'd make a really simple game of pong. However, I have seriously overestimated the difficulty of this for a beginner who has very limited knowledge of Lab View.
I ask you to please have some patience with me.
I know what I want to do, and just need help inplementing it.
Here is the idea for my design to keep it as simple as possible:
-Create a field (I am not sure what to use for this, but from my reading it appears that some sort of a picture output is needed, but I cannot find that anywhere).
-Set up some simple function that can output the dimensions of this field to use with collision tracking.
-Create a ball that can be tracked by the program.
-From my reading I understand that the simplest way to "bounce" the ball off the sides appears to simply reverse the X velocity of the ball when it strikes the vertical boundaries and the Y velocity when it strikes the horizontal boundaries.
-Insert some sort of a "paddle" that the user can control with the left and right arrow keys.
Now, as I have mentioned I am a beginner with approximately one month maximum knowledge of this software, spread over about a year. I want to take things slow. So for starters, would anyone be willing to walk me through creating a visual output for this and creating a ball that will bounce off all sides?
If I can at least get that far for now, then I can move on (with help I hope!) of inserting an interactive interface for the "paddle."
I have found some LabView code for a simple game like this, but it also includes a score keeping loop as well as an "automatic play" option, and I am attempting to wade through all that code to find the bones of it to help me with this, but due to my inexperience, this might thake a lot of time.
I thank you for any and all help anyone may be able to provide.

Wel, there is the picture indicator in the picture palette. In newer versions it's called "2D picture". The palettes have a search function. Using the palette search function is a basic LabVIEW skill that you should know. If you've seen the example for the other discussion, it uses a 2D boolean array indicator. The boolean array is only recommended for a monochrome very low resolution display.
EchoWolf wrote: -Set up some simple function that can output the dimensions of this field to use with collision tracking.
-Create a ball that can be tracked by the program.
That seems backwards. Properly programmed, the code always knows the dimension and the ball position. The program generates, (not tracks!) the ball movement. Of course you need to do some range checking on the ball position to see when it collides with the walls.
EchoWolf wrote:
-From my reading I understand that the simplest way to "bounce" the ball off the sides appears to simply reverse the X velocity of the ball when it strikes the vertical boundaries and the Y velocity when it strikes the horizontal boundaries.
Of course you could make it more realistic by keeping track of three ball parameters: x, y, spin.
EchoWolf wrote:
-Insert some sort of a "paddle" that the user can control with the left and right arrow keys.
Pong is typically played with the up-down arrow keys.
EchoWolf wrote:

LabVIEW knowledge is not measured in time units. What did you do during that month? Did you attend some lectures, study tutorials, wrote some programs?

Start with the posted example and delete all the controls and indicators that you don't want, then surgically remove all code with broken wires.
Alternatively, start from scratch: Create your playing field. Easiest would be a 2D classic boolean array that is all false. Use initialize array to make it once. Now use a loop to show the ball as a function of time.
Start with a random ball position. to display it, turn one of the array elements true before wiring to the array indicator using replace array subset.
Keep a shift register with xy positions and xy velocities and update the positions as a function of the velocities with each iteration of the loop. Do range checking and reverse the velocieis when a edge is encountered.
What LabVIEW version do you have?
LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time .

HT5527 But what on earth can I use this storage for?

I got the email this morning. It's somewhat annoying that I've just signed up for iTunes Match and will have to pay for that when I could have opted to just send my music to the cloud, which I thought was going to be reduced to 5gb.
So I'd like to find out what I can use this free space for.
When I had an iDisk I used it to store work files so they were easily available at work and at home. I also put treasured photos and documents for the family to see there. I often used it to store scores of music I've written to add another layer of security in case everything got lost this end in case we got struck by lightening or something. I'm not sure how much of that I'll be able to put in iCloud storage now.
So far I'm using it for email and calendar and I'm using a very small amount of space. I've paid for iTunes Match, which is considerably bigger. Perhaps I could put my audio books in there? I'm still not going to use 55GB.
The only real use I can see for it would be to email all my important documents such as the music notation scores to myself - and then I suppose I will have put them into the cloud. But if I'm going to lose it all in a year's time I'm not sure I want to go to all that trouble.
Any other suggestions would be gratefully received.

So really, they can offer us 55GB of space for a year, which seems a very generous offer given that they are not charging well over £100 as I used to pay for my maxed out iDisk. But there's probably not a single user who is going to fill 55GB with the kind of documents that can be stored there. Only photographs could fill that space; and even then it would take a massive amount of those to use up 55GB.
And having found every last word processing document and photograph I can lay my hands on to fill the space, would it be worth it if I knew that at the end of the year I'd have to remove it all and back it all up somewhere else?
One wonders why they bothered! It is no replacement for my iDisk. Now if we have a flood or a fire, I've lost the lot, no matter how much backing up I've done. Unless I turn to DropBox, that is. Maybe I will. What Apple has done is handed me a huge trunk and told me I can keep only unboxed cufflinks and earrings in it for a year, while I'm desperately looking around for somewhere to put my boots!
Thanks for the comments, guys. I think you'll agree with me that this is a statement of bewildered disbelief rather than a problem and that there's no solution unless Apple changes the way iCloud works.

For a beginner, what do i lose by using fireworks to create whole webpage?
