Expression web training
Total Training for Microsoft Expression Web 2: Essentials Excellent practical training able to apply newly acquired knowledge immediately.

Excellent- get out your

s
The lovely Janine Warner once again gently takes you through how to use the latest version of Expression Web. Her websites are once again elegant and occasionally witty. Personally I feel that the measure of a good web design course is in the attractiveness of the sites! She has abandoned the layers technique used in the previous version of this training video for hard core Cascading Style Sheets. So get out the After Eights as you're sure to want to try out the Chocolate Game as a celebration (classic table layout).

You have to keep listening, because she sticks in many small helpful tips and there's a fair bit along the way about search engine optimisation. It seems best to be designing a site as you listen, because her tweaks are vital but sometimes hidden away in submenus.
