INFO:
http://www.designprovideo.com/tutorial/indesigncs4101


InDesign is quickly becoming the industry-standard software for laying out and printing documents. With all the features of a graphics application and a word processor wrapped into one, InDesign is a complex piece of software that can be confusing and hard to learn - unless you have a true expert show you the way!

In this 4-hour tutorial by veteran technical author and InDesign Pro Donna Baker, you'll learn how to use the InDesign workspace to format text, add images and photos, and manage objects on a page to create a professional layout, every time. You'll also learn how to use InDesign's built in drawing tools to add color, strokes, and gradients to your project. Once you're document's finished, you'll see how to export your document for printing in PDF and other formats.

This is a comprehensive tutorial, but you don't need to watch the entire program. Use the interactive menus and keyword search features to quickly find topics of interest - that's the essence of Nonlinear Educating!

Flex 3 in Action

Flex 3 in Action

Tariq Ahmed, Jon Hirschi, Faisal Abid, “Flex 3 in Action”
Manning Publications | 2009 | ISBN: 1933988746 | 576 pages | CHM | 10.2 MB

New Web applications require engaging user-friendly interfaces-and the cooler, the better. With Flex 3, Web developers at any skill level can create high-quality, effective, and interactive Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) quickly and easily. Flex removes the complexity barrier from RIA development by offering sophisticated tools and a straightforward programming language so you can focus on what you want to do instead of how to do it. And now that the major components of Flex are free and open source, the cost barrier is gone, as well!

Cartoon Smart - Photoshop Advanced Brush & Texture Technique

Cartoon Smart - Photoshop Advanced Brush & Texture Technique

Cartoon Smart - Photoshop Advanced Brush & Texture Technique | 658.5 MB
Rls Date : 26/02/09 | Supplier : iNK H0RN

Like most CartoonSmart visitors you probably think of yourself as at least an intermediate Photoshop user, because at a basic level it is a very intuitive program and easy to teach yourself. But a bad habit that many self-taught users fall into is relying too much on Filters when they need to do something visually complex (and that includes yours truly, the author of this course summary) So this course dives right into plenty of advanced techniques you probably haven't ever seen used.

If you've never used Photoshop before, don't let the "advanced" part of the title scare you off. And if you do have some familiarity with Photoshop (even intermediate), that's even better because you'll probably be surprised how many things you've overlooked in the program.
Part 1: Introduction - And a large folder of source files / brushes used throughout the course
Part 2: Brush Techniques - Used in creating a rocky, grass scene
Part 3: More Brush Techniques - Used in a realistic wall/window project
Part 4: Surface Texture and Layer Effects - Used for plaster type effects or overhead landscapes
Part 5: Using the Pen Tool for Paths - To create things like realistic wires or curving text
Part 6: Seamless Tiling - For gaming surfaces or webpage backgrounds
This course is taught by Humberto Abreu, a professional video game texture artist and illustrator.

Foundation XML and E4X for Flash and Flex

Foundation XML and E4X for Flash and Flex
You must register before you can view this text.

Description: XML is the lingua franca of the Web. All designers and developers working in a web environment need a sound understanding of XML and its role in application development. Many software packages and organizations allow for the exchange of data using an XML format. Web services and RSS feeds are now commonplace.

For those working with Flash and Flex, a thorough understanding of XML is particularly important. XML documents are one option for the data provided to SWF applications. Flash and Flex can load, display, and modify XML content. These applications can also send XML content to other applications for updating or for use in different situations.

ActionScript 3.0 introduces some fundamental changes to the way in which Flash and Flex applications work with XML. One significant change is that XML is now a native data type. ActionScript 3.0 also introduces new classes and a different framework for working with external documents. These changes are based on the E4X ECMAScript standard, and they streamline and simplify the process for working with XML in Flash and Flex.

In this book, Sas Jacobs gives you an introduction to XML and E4X. She explores the new XML and XMLList classes and explains E4X expressions, providing examples for both Flash and Flex. In addition to explaining how to incorporate XML documents in SWF applications, Sas Jacobs shows you approaches specific to Flash and Flex and explores real-world usage. The book finishes with two case studies. In the first, you will learn how to consume and display information and images from Flickr using Flash. In the second, you will work with Adobe Kuler in Flex.

Whether you are a designer or developer, this book will help you work with XML and make the transition from ActionScript 2.0 to ActionScript 3.0. It will also provide you with an excellent grounding if you are new to Flash and Flex.
In this book, you'll learn how to:
Work with the new XML and XMLList classes in ActionScript 3.0
Build E4X expressions in ActionScript 3.0 to simplify your work flow
Work with XML content in Flash and Flex to create dynamic web applications
Consume REST and SOAP web services in Flash and Flex
Build real-world Flash and Flex XML applications
