how to learn Dreamweaver 4 and Fireworks 4?

[GrantShady]

Hi, I would like to learn how to use the Dreamweaver 4 Fireworks 4 Studio and I need to know what the best way to do that would be. I am open to either online tutorials or books or whatever else. Thanks!

The first thing I did when I got DW and FW was buying Dreamweaver Bible 4 and Fireworks Bible 4 (both by Joseph W. Lowery). These books give you answers to typical questions like how to make a transparent background and how to design using tables. Every single program function is explained.
When you have learned the basics about the programs it's time to visit all the good sites on the net. SitePoint is one of them.
If you still don't understand something this forum is the best place to visit. All questions seem to get an answer. No question is too stupid.

Good luck!

I find the best way to learn how to use a program is to fool around with it.

When I get a new program I just try out everything and see what all the differnt things do.

I hope these help.

www.trainingtools.com also has some pretty good DW and FW tutorials in PDF format you can download and print out. They're free too
