What should be the best approach for a novice like me?

Hello everyone.
Please be patient. I'm new to the Adobe software family and I have a lot to learn.
But I came here to find out the best way to learn in order to do what I want to do with my business.
What programs do you think I need to master first? What is the most common approach to someone in my situation?
Basically, this is what to create:
electronic forms (to send to my clients, where they provide all kinds of information)
short and long coaching programs (rich in text and image, sort of like an e-book)
new logo and brand identity
poster and decal designs
In the future.. I'd like to develop my own website.
This is it. Any help is welcome.
Thanks,
Gus

Adobe.com is a good place to start.  They have resources that you can look into getting more info.  My approach would be to try and find some kind of formal training somewhere in your area.  Perhaps there is a local community college graphics department that has a certificate program.  There are also CD/DVD tutorials, but you need to work with other people and do assignments that are part of a curriculum.  If you decide to proceed on your own, start with Illustrator where you can gain skills in line manipulations that can then be used to help you make selections in Photoshop later on.  So, in my opinion, Illustrator first, Photoshop second, Dreamweaver third, and Flash/Fireworks fourth.  This all will take time.  It's impossible to learn all of the applications in a week or two.  That's why I think you will benefit from a formal setting like a classroom where you can ask questions and learn tips and tricks.

  • What is the Best Approach for System Defined Fields and Default values

    Hi ,
    Please let me know that what can be the best approach for providing a Default value for the System defined fields when creating a User and How can we hide the System defined fields at the time of User creation

    You cannot provide default values for any attributes defined in the FormMetaData.xml file. You can only provide default values for fields defined in the User Defined Fields and supply a default value.
    You can using entity adapters to populate some of the values, but you must supply an Organization because there is an entity adapter that you cannot modify that verifies the organization name.

  • What are the best approaches for mapping re-start in OWB?

    What are the best approaches for mapping re-start in OWB?
    We are using OWB repository 10.2.0.1.0 and OWB client 10.2.0.1.31. The Oracle version is 10 G (10.2.0.3.0). OWB is installed on Linux.
    We have number of mappings. We built process flows for mappings as well.
    I like to know, what are the best approches to incorportate re-start options in our process. ie a failure of mapping in process flow.
    How do we re-cycle failed rows?
    Are there any builtin features/best approaches in OWB to implement the above?
    Does runtime audit tables help us to build re-start process?
    If not, do we need to maintain our own tables (custom) to maintain such data?
    How did our forum members handled above situations?
    Any idea ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi RI,
    How many mappings (range) do you have in a process flows?Several hundreds (100-300 mappings).
    If we have three mappings (eg m1, m2, m3) in process flow. What will happen if m2 fails?Suppose mappings connected sequentially (m1 -> m2 -> m3). When m2 fails then processflow is suspended (transition to m3 will not be performed). You should obviate cause of error (modify mapping and redeploy, correct data, etc) and then repeat m2 mapping execution from Workflow monitor - open diagram with processflow, select mapping m2 and click button Expedite, choose option Repeat.
    In re-start, will it run m1 again and m2 son on, or will it re-start at row1 of m2?You can specify restart point. "at row1 of m2" - I don't understand what you mean (all mappings run in Set based mode, so in case of error all table updates will rollback,
    but there are several exception - for example multiple target tables in mapping without corelated commit, or error in post-mapping - you must carefully analyze results of error).
    What will happen if m3 fails?Process is suspended and you can restart execution from m3.
    By having without failover and with max.number of errors=0, you achieve re-cycle failed rows to zero (0).This settings guarantee existence only two return result of mapping - SUCCSES or ERROR.
    What is the impact, if we have large volume of data?In my opinion for large volume Set based mode is the prefered processing mode of data processing.
    With this mode you have full range enterprise features of Oracle database - parallel query, parallel DML, nologging, etc.

  • What is the best approach for combining events?

    When I work on a wedding my current workflow involves creating a compound clip for each section of the video (e.g. reception, ceremony, dancing etc). Then I add the compound clip 'sequences' into a single project to add the chapter markers and export to a single master file.
    I like the idea of managing each section in a project rather than a compound clip now that projects are part of the library in 10.1, but is there a good way to combine multiple projects (for each section) into a single master project, or would I still need to copy the contents of each project and paste in the master project?
    Maybe I am best to continue with my current workflow.

    Just saw the discussion title - should have said "What is the best approach for combining projects"?

  • What's the best approach for handeling about 1300 connections in Oracle.

    What's the best approach for handling about 1300 connections in Oracle 9i/10g through a Java application?
    1.Using separate schema s for various type users(We can store only relevant data with a particular schema.     Then No. of records per table can be reduced by replicating tables but we have to maintain all data with a another schema     Then we need update two schema s for a given session.Because we maintain separate scheama for a one user and another schema for all data and then there may be Updating problems)
    OR
    2. Using single schema for all users.
    Note: All users may access the same tables and there may be lot of records than previous case.
    What is the Best case.
    Please give Your valuable ideas

    It is a true but i want a solution from you all.I want you to tell me how to fix my friends car.

  • Which one is the best approach for responsive UI development option in SharePoint 2013

    Which one is the best approach for responsive UI development option in SharePoint 2013
    Device channel or responsive UI (HTML, CSS)?

    In practice you're probably going to end up with a combination. A couple of device channels for classes of device and then responsive UI within those channels to adjust to particular devices within the classes.
    Of course the real answer is as always 'it depends' as you'll need to pick the best option for each client based on their needs.

  • Just bought a 3TB Time Capsule for a small office. Will have 4 users with MacBooks. What would ne the best setup for time machine individual backups and internet sharing in a secure way?

    Just bought a 3TB Time Capsule for a small office. Will have 4 users with MacBooks. What would ne the best setup for time machine individual backups and internet sharing in a secure way?

    Set up each Mac for Time Machine backups in the normal way.  Time Machine will keep each backup separate on the Time Capsule, so users will only be able to see the backups of their own Mac.
    Yes....there are convoluted workarounds that might allow one user to see the backups of another.....IF...they know the administrator password of the "other" Mac.
    As far as Internet sharing, all users will have access to the Internet if they have a wired or wireless connection. If a Mac connects using wireless, it is possible to limit the time that they are allowed to connect to the network.
    For example, you might limit the ability to connect to the wireless from say each Weekday from 8 AM to 6 PM.
    With a wired Ethernet connection, you cannot limit access times to the Internet.

  • What is the best approach for executing this code only once?

    Hi,
    What would be the best way to this using JSF/Java web architecture? I have a login page, login.jsf, that submits login credentials to another servlet and if successful, is redirected to a login success page, which I have called "main.jsf", my application's main page. What I want to do, however, is when the login success mechanism redirects to my application, I want to run a bit of Java code (which requires access to the session object) that executes only once, and then redirects to my application's main page.
    In other words, I could put this Java code on my application's main page, but then it would execute every time a user visited it.
    Any advice on the most efficient way to do this?
    Thanks, - Dave

    Thanks for your reply but I have a question. If the filter is executed on every page, then, assuming the user is logged in, the code would be executed every time. How can I create this such that my code snippet is executed only once, preferably after the user is re-directed to the login success page?It is more secure. On login just put the User object as attribute of HttpSession and check in the filter if it is there.

  • I have a desktop Mac OS X Leopard. I want to upgrade to Quicken 2007, Install Snow Leopard and download iLife '11. I heard that Quicken and Snow Leopard can clash and have problems.  What would be the best order for installing these products. Thank You.

    I have a desktop MAC OSX Leopard.

What would be the best order of installing these products.  I have gotten defferent opinions and I want to be sure I install them correctly.
    Thank You.

    First, install OS X, then install your third-party software.
    How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
    A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
    Boot from your current OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
      1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
      5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the
          Destination entry field.
      6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the
          Source entry field.
      7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal
    startup drive.
    C. Important: Please read before installing:
      1. If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the
          update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it.
          Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've
          restarted.
      2. You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system
           software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through
           other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
      3. The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other
          interruption occurs during  installation, use the standalone installer (see below)
          from Apple Downloads to update.  While the installation  is in progress do not use
          the computer.
    D. To upgrade:
    Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
    Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
          1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
          2. Restart the computer.
          3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
          4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple
              logo appears.
          5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
          6. Follow instructions.
    After installing Snow Leopard you should update it by downloading and installing Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • What is the best resource for Discoverer novice.

    I need direction in this tool. what is the best resource for me to use.

    Hi Ade
    You could do a lot worse than get hold of a copy of the Oracle Discoverer 10g Handbook that I wrote. It will walk you through much of what you need to know. You can find it on amazon.com or via a link from my website: http://learndiscoverer.com/books/books.htm
    Another good resource would be a training class in either the Admin tool or End User tool or both. Oracle Corporation offer excellent training as do many other companies, including mine. Just google Discoverer Training.
    Further resources are the Oracle By Example series on the OTN forum. These are free. You will find the Discoverer lessons here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/discoverer/discoverer_1012/index.html

  • What should be the data type for a field in ztable?

    i am desing a ztable , wht should be the datatype for a field if i want to enter values like -1.5 and -2.5 , negative values with decimals what should be the data type???

    declare as P type. TYPE P DECIMALS 1
    Type P data allows digits after the decimal point. The number of decimal places is generic, and is determined in the program. The value range of type P data depends on its size and the number of digits after the decimal point. The valid size can be any value from 1 to 16 bytes. Two decimal digits are packed into one byte, while the last byte contains one digit and the sign. Up to 14 digits are allowed after the decimal point. The initial value is zero. When working with type P data, it is a good idea to set the program attribute Fixed point arithmetic.Otherwise, type P numbers are treated as integers.
    You can use type P data for such values as distances, weights, amounts of money, and so on.

  • What is the best approach for different roles to be able to access relevant content

    I am working on a project with the following requirements: -
    - a calendar, FAQ list, downloads document library and Service Request log developed from a custom list
    - I have three roles - employee, line manager and Senior Executive
    - For each of the above lists I want to 'tag' items as being for one or more of the three roles.
    - when a user logs in s/he should see the content that they are allowed to see. For example an employee should only see items that are intended for
    an employee, a Line manager should see content for employees and line managers. Senior Execs should see all content. 
    My options are: -
    1. Have a single calendar, doc library, FAQ list and have a 'intended for' choice field that a user must pick from when creating and item. A SPD workflow
    can give item level permissions for the items based on the selected value and assign permissions to the relevant groups
    2. Have three sets of calendars, three sets of FAQ lists, three sets of doc libraries with unique permissions per list and use a content query web
    part to show content on the landing page that is rolled up and security trimmed 
    My question is
    – is there another way of tagging list/library items for a group of users and user only see what they are allowed to see?
    If not then which of the above two options would be preferred from a best practice point of view
    Many thanks for any advice you can give
    Johnny

    Audiences. This link is for 2007 but it's still there in 2010 and 13:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-server-help/target-content-to-specific-audiences-HA010169053.aspx
    They aren't security trimming but they will conceal information that isn't useful for users. That might cover some, if not all, of your requirements.
    You could use three separate lists for each but you can do the same with three folders within the libraries just as well and still get most of the benefits.

  • What is the best approach for doing view logic?

    Hi, I have a jsp page that receives an array of strings and a set of strings from a servlet. The set contain elements of the array. The page must print all the array values and which values are contained in the set. My first implementation just construct a checkbox for each array value using jstl c:forEach. To determine if they are checked or not I use some scriptlet. Without using scriptlet, the servlet would need to help by providing a new type of data. Also, if I needed to sort in ascending order the checkboxes, then I would need to use scriptlet, or the servlet would need to do the ordering before passing the array. Using the servlet to prepare the data, if the view now need to change ordering to descending, then I should change the servlet.
    My doubt is, when doing view logic, what is better, to spread it into view and servlet, or to leave it in view only? I know the recommendation is to not use scriptlet in views, but jstl alone sometimes doesnt provide the needed support for constructing views

    Write your own custom tags to handle to cases where JSTL alone is not sufficient. Also, you may use expression language (EL) and have custom EL functions. Avoid writing scriptlet in JSP and instead of writing view processing logic in servlets use custom tag handler or EL functions to handle UI display logic.

  • What is the best approach for a short answer quiz that has a number range as the correct answer?

    Client does not want to use multiple choice questions, so I am trying to figure out the best way to put in a range of numbers for the correct answer.

    I'm doing my best to figure this out, but not finding success in my advanced action. Below is the quiz question and how I setup the advanced action.
    Question: Determine the total heat load for test house 1.
    Answer: 32,120
    Acceptable Answer Range: 30,514 - 33,726
    Created TEB - Validate User Input; Numbers; Variable Name: Value1; Correct Entries box blank; Reporting: Include in Quiz; Points 10; add to total; report answers
         On Focus Lost: Execute Advanced Actions
              Conditional Action
                   If
                        Value1 is greater or equal to 30514 AND
                        Value 1 is lesser or equal to 33726
                   Then
                        Show SmartShape_1 (Correct feedback prompt)
                        Expression Value1=cpQuizInfoTotalQuizPoints+10  (I have also tried cpQuizInfoTotalProjectPoints and got same results)
                   Else
                        Show SmartShape_2 (Incorrect feedback prompt)
    I have quiz reporting turned on and I am testing this by including a second slide that is a standard multiple choice question so I can check results on the Quiz Results page at the end of the project showing the total score. I have not been successful yet in getting the system to add the points in appropriately. Is there another system variable I should be using to add the points to the quiz for reporting to the LMS or am i going about this completely wrong?
