We'll kick-off 1999 with some great news. This is the launch of the new Macromedia "Web Publishing" newsflashes. We'll strive to continue bringing you the industry's best tips, tutorials, and the most useful news in a forum that most closely matches the synergies between our products and the way you work. The three editions (Essentials, Vectors, and Rich Media) will be written exclusively for Macromedia's registered customers worldwide. In this January, 1999 Essentials Issue: 1) Tutorial: Text along a Path in Fireworks 2) Quotes: from Fellow Web Designers 3) Partnerships: Dreamweaver Extensions 4) Customer Spotlights: Prozzak 5) Events: Seminars, Seybold, and UCON 6) Programs: Find Training 7) Trials: FREE Downloads 8) Subscription & Information Regards, Web Publishing Team Macromedia ************************************************************* 1) The Fireworks Tutorial Series ************************************************************* Here is the fourth set of tips in the tutorial series provided by Web design guru, Lynda Weinman. This month she'll focus on Fireworks ability to control Text along a Path. With Fireworks you can design and create interesting text effects without switching back and forth to a high-end vector graphics program. Select the "January, 1999" entry at http://www.macromedia.com/support/fireworks/how/weinman/ Now let's see how another design master, Hillman Curtis, uses Fireworks as a custom text and vector shape creation tool for Director presentations. Read this helpful tutorial at http://www.macromedia.com/support/fireworks/how/hillman/ ************************************************************** 2) Read What other Web Designers are Saying ************************************************************** Our Web Publishing customers have been adopting Fireworks at a dizzying rate. We've posted just a few of the top quotes. Visit http://www.macromedia.com/software/fireworks/word/ for the word! ************************************************************** 3) Dreamweaver Offers Unprecedented Extensibility ************************************************************** Dreamweaver is more than a Web site builder -- it's a platform for web developers looking to work with products from Allaire (Cold Fusion), Hewlett-Packard, IBM, iCat, and RealNetworks. Dreamweaver 2 allows you to extend its functionality to integrate with databases (stay tuned for information from Oracle and others), e-commerce solutions, new media types, and more. Extend your Dreamweaver by visiting http://www.macromedia.com/software/dreamweaver/download/extensions/ ************************************************************ 4) Dreamweaver on Prozzak! ************************************************************ Sony Music has recently launched a site for Prozzak (a band all the rage in Europe now, and perhaps only coincidentally to be confused with the drug) that utilizes Flash, Dreamweaver, and Shockwave. Check out Simon and Milo's techno-punk rock disco pop shop intercontinental information super-highway hideaway at http://www.prozzak.com ************************************************************ 5) Upcoming Shows and Events ************************************************************ Macromedia Seminar Series January 19 - March 24 Macromedia's FREE Web design seminars teach you how to deliver compelling Web sites created with our award winning Web Publishing family of tools.
