Book description
This study guide uses text integrated with video to help you gain real-world skills that will get you started in your career in planning websites and designing web pages and lays the foundation for taking the Dreamweaver ACA exam. A mix of project-based lessons, practical videos, and regular assessments throughout prepares you for an entry-level position in a competitive job market.
Adobe conducted research to identify the foundational skills
students need to effectively communicate using digital media tools.
Based on feedback from educators, design professionals, businesses,
and educational institutions around the world, the objectives cover
entry-level skill expectations for each topic. The ACA exams have
proved to be highly successful; Adobe reports that the total number
of exams taken worldwide has reached one million since 2008.
To create this new product, Peachpit and Adobe Press have joined
forces with team of outstanding instructors who have a great track
record getting students certified: Rob Schwartz and his colleagues
