I had been working out of classroom in a book and this was a lot easier to understand. I took away some helpful skills.

I knew enough to be dangerous, but this cleared up some of my misunderstandings. Especially about margin collapse and spry functionality.

This class was very helpful for me. I had a very limited knowledge of Dreamweaver. We covered the pallettes as well as functions to build your own site from the many templates provided. I am anxious to take more classes!
