As we enter the 2nd month of class, the Dreamweaver application has frustrated and spoiled me. At moments, I am petulant about it.

Six of One ~ Half Dozen of Another
Each action can be done in nearly a dozen ways. Is this convenient or frustrating. I’m not sure I’ve decided yet. The tools and actions seem familiar from other programs that I use. Therefore, I’m comfortable in this Adobe world.

Easy Peasey
It’s deceptively easy to use. I’m sure that once I’m set free of the tutorial, I’ll have a different relationship with this program. It’s a bit smoke and mirrors but I think it’s going to be a great tool for my studio.

HTML, XHTML, CSS, RSS, M-O-U-S-E
I had a crash course in HTML and XHTML. We had to use that language to build some webpages. That was a disaster. A bit like trying to write Les Misérables while learning French. In 4 weeks.

Dreamweaver is a bit like a translator with a spellcheck. I could learn to like this program.
