Tables to Divs

I have gotten so comfortable with using tables over the past few years, but I know I have got to keep up. My site currently is created with tables and styled with CSS, but I need to switch the tables over. In the coming months I plan to revamp my portfolio site, eliminating all tables and replacing them with lovely div containers :)

Flash

I am diving into Flash now. This program has had a love/hate or rather love/fear resolve with me. In one hand the timeline reminds me of Final Cut Pro, which I used often once upon a time. However the program offers layers upon layers of timelines and can be confusing. On the main timeline we hold the scene, which holds the animations or what have you. However, you can also click on the objects on the screen and they each have their own timeline, which looks similar to the main timeline. If I had one suggestion for Adobe, it would be to make it easier to tell the difference between timelines, but that is simply my opinion.

I have been researching avenues to learn Flash when I stumbled upon the site LearnFlash.com. Once I signed up for their weekly e-mails, I began getting free small tutorials on animations. For instance I recieved an online lesson to create a foggy effect and a venetian blinds sort of transition. After a couple of these lessons I was drawn in and actually browsed their products. They offer bundles, which includes an array of lessons or in my case I bought a single lesson. Normally I have paid $130 for 24 hours worth of lessons, where I paid only $36 through this site. I would recommend them to anyone longing to learn web-site design or Flash.

Flash...yes I know..

No, I have not forgotten about you my dear Flash. I just want to give each and every vehicle of my design the attention it deserves. I have dabbled in animation years ago in a college course. I also used to be addicted to Final Cut Pro for a few years, and that program is similar to the setup of an animation program. I have used sound software as well, so I am not completely ignorant to Flash's infostructure.

I am going to learn Flash as soon as I am finished with handy dandy CSS course. These days a designer needs to know everything. It seems like there was once upon a time where everyone had their responsibilities. There was a designer, an illustrator, an animator, a web designer... Nowadays you have to be cross platformed, no doubt about it.
