Dreamweaver MX Private Training by Paul Costante

Macromedia Dreamweaver MX Private Training by Paul Costante
	This program has been designed to teach you the fundamentals of Dreamweaver MX from the ground up. It is demanding of your commitment & dedication. Students will train using Macromedia's Dreamweaver MX in a 2 day week-end intensive course, giving you total hands-on experience exploring Dreamweaver's amazing capabilities to produce fully functional web sites with-out having to be an expert in HTML coding. The Beauty of Macromedia's Dreamweaver MX is its ability to produce HTML code through the use of a user friendly graphical interface. I would like to provide you with a brief background on myself in order to give you a better idea of who I am and some of my accomplishments. I have been strongly working in the field of new media and new technology for the past 7 years. Currently I work for Canada’s largest privately owned ad agency called Pi Media Networks (a division of St Joseph Print Corporation). My role here is a Senior Web Designer & Developer for the interactive division. You can find my personal website which demonstrates some of my past and current portfolio items including web, 3D and print design: www.paulcostante.com
