Flash was useful, but developers are glad it’s on the death march

Earlier this week, Adobe announced it would cease support and development of Flash at the end of 2020, a decision that had many people saying, "Finally." The "Flash is dead" rhetoric has been around for years, and people like Facebook's chief securit...

Adobe Training Videos: Lifetime Subscription

Adobe Training Videos Lifetime Subscription 01

When it comes to photo and video editing, Adobe makes some of the best software around, but buying a Creative Cloud subscription and a computer capable of running it doesn’t turn you into an expert instantly. You’ll have to go through some training that typically costs hundreds upon hundreds of dollars. Fortunately, that’s not the case with the training videos featured on Walyou Deals.

Train Simple, the company behind these training videos, is an Adobe-authorized partner, so if you stick to a schedule and learn what you’re being taught, the success is practically guaranteed. The target audience isn’t represented exclusively by photographers, as video editing professionals and web designers could also make use of it.

To get an idea about just how comprehensive this course is, it covers everything from Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Lightroom, Flash, Dreamweaver, ColdFusion, Edge Products, Muse to HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, WordPress, Premiere, and Audition. However, if Adobe will add more pieces of software to its portfolio, or if new platforms that make use of Adobe’s products come out, more videos covering all of these will be added. That’s the major perk of having a lifetime subscription to training videos.

Train Simple assumes that most people purchasing a lifetime subscription to its Adobe training videos are just getting started with either web design or professional photography. Because of that, there are numerous videos targeted specifically at beginners. However, if you’re an expert in the field and only want to improve your skills by learning the latest and the greatest tricks, then there are plenty of videos for you, too. Since this is a lifetime subscription, you have all the time in the world to learn everything there is to know about Adobe’s software suite. Despite the “take things at your own pace,” you should hurry up, as this is an industry that changes very quickly, and if you’re a slow learner, you might find that by the end you finish a course the software is already outdated.

There’s plenty of flexibility when it comes to how to learn. You can do this at home, on a desktop PC, or on-the-go, using mobile apps that run on iOS and Android devices.

Check out the following video to get an idea about how Train Simple’s training videos work:

To purchase a lifetime subscription to Train Simple’s Adobe training videos, head over to Walyou Deals, and order it for $79. Considering that the original price is $500, the 84% discount is not at all negligible. Since you’re paying for access to a digital product, you’ll be able to redeem it instantly, so you can start training right away! If you’d rather wait a bit before getting started, you have 30 days to redeem the code. All sales are final, and memberships are not shareable, so make sure to keep your username and password secret from other people who are eager to use Adobe’s software.

The Complete Web Development Course: Make Cash-Earning Websites

Complete Web Development Course

High-schoolers and college students who are just getting started with Web Development could turn to The Complete Web Development Course: Make Cash Earning Websites for a great information resource on this topic.

One of the most recent additions to the eLearning category of our store, Walyou Deals, The Complete Web Development Course: Make Cash-Earning Websites by Development Island is a comprehensive guide on how to create Web pages, interactive sites and even mobile apps, and all that at a heavily discounted price. The course is particularly great for people who are just delving into Web development, since the authors leave from the premise that you have no coding experience whatsoever. This means that you’ll start with the basics, and by the time you finish the course, you’ll be an expert in the areas listed above.

Just to give you and idea about how much content this course envelops, there are more than 306 lectures and 56.6 hours of videos on the creation of Web sites and mobile apps. First of all, you’ll get accustomed to the most popular and frequently used languages and frameworks that are currently available. Once you do this, you should have an idea about what you would like to focus on next. Regardless of the path you will chose, HTML5 and CSS3 are essential for any Web developer, so learning these is a must if you want to build and style Web pages properly.

Javascript, jQuery and JQuery User Interface, some of the best tools you could possibly use for creating interactive sites are also covered in this course. However, interactiveness isn’t the only aspect you should focus on, as the sites also need to be very responsive, regardless of the device they’re accessed from. This part is covered in the lectures about Twitter Bootstrap. Also, the course touches PHP, Ajax and MySQL in some of the lectures, and while these may seem to be for advanced developers only, knowing at least the basics of all of them can’t hurt.

Not at last, you’ll learn how to develop mobile apps for both iOS and Android, and how to deploy them to their respective stores. This may seem a bit unrelated to the rest of the course, but if you’re getting into Web development, you might as well develop for mobile platforms, too.

The Complete Web Development Course: Make Cash Earning Websites can be purchased in our store, Walyou Deals, for $29. That’s a 90% discount from the original price of $300, so if you feel that Web Development is something you might like, get the course within the next four days. Going through all of the content included in this course may take while, but at the end of it, it will be well worth it. Thanks to the endless list of skills you’ll be able to add to your resume after finishing the course, landing that dream job will no longer be something unreal.

Microsoft outlines Internet Explorer 10 differences between Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8

Microsoft outlines Internet Explorer 10 differences between Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8, finds they still have common ground

Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 together mark a rare confluence for Microsoft: they represent the first instance of the company's desktop and phone platforms sharing the same browser base, and that has wide-reaching implications for what developers can do. The Redmond team doesn't want anyone plunging headlong into web apps without knowing what to expect, however, and it just reminded us in a blog post that there are still a few off-limits areas for Internet Explorer 10 on the mobile side. Not surprisingly, elements that demand a truly big screen or a windowed interface won't fly -- there's nowhere to drag-and-drop from or open a new window to. A few other aspects are more likely to catch web developers off-guard, such as the lack of in-line video, a handful of touch inputs, ActiveX and the level of file access. The most important common ground stems from simply having a modern rendering engine whose HTML5 and CSS3 support will prevent any rude shocks. There's much more at the source link, although Microsoft and designers may just be happy that any Windows Phone web development is a question of finding those few things that won't work, rather than reinventing the wheel.

W3C teams with Apple, Google, Mozilla on WebPlatform, a guide to building the open web (video)

W3C teams with Apple, Google, Mozilla on WebPlatform, a guide to building the open web videoThe World Wide Web Consortium might just be the United Nations of web development, as it's bringing together some frequent enemies to fight for a common cause through WebPlatform.org. The collaboration will see Adobe, Apple, Facebook, Google, HP, Microsoft, Mozilla, Nokia and Opera pool educational resources to create a comprehensive, frequently updated guide to creating HTML5 and other content for the open web. The companies' instructional oversight is just the start, however -- visitors will have chats and forums to devise their own solutions, and they'll even have a better than usual chance at influencing mid-development web standards. It may be some time before we'll see the first fruits of the organization's work, but we're already happy to see technology companies set aside some of their differences.

Dude recreates first-gen iPod in-browser, won’t put 1,000 songs in your pocket

Dude recreates firstgen iPod in the browser, won't put 1,000 songs in your pocket

Here's a bit of web fun to liven up your weekend: a digital artist by the name of Pritesh Desai has recreated a fully functional first-generation iPod that you can play directly in your browser. In remembrance of Steve Jobs, Desai built the faux iPod using HTML5, CSS3, and a touch of jQuery. You can drag the click wheel around just like with the real deal, change the volume, hit play / pause and even skip tracks. Especially nice is the addition of Extras like the Clock and the Calendar. Unfortunately, you won't be able to play any of your own tunes, but Desai had compiled a list of Creative Commons songs, so you can see how the player works. The next step is for someone to fill this up with hits of the early aughts ("Last Nite" by The Strokes, perhaps?) so you can truly travel back in time to the heydays of Windows XP and the Enron scandal.

Adobe Edge swells to include Tools & Services, streamlines the designer web

Adobe Edge swells to include Tools & Services, streamlines the designer web

Adobe really wants web designers to kick things up a notch. Not satisfied with where Edge has gone so far, it just released a full-fledged Edge Tools & Services suite to cover the bases for polished desktop and mobile pages on most any modern platform. Motion tool Edge Animate (formerly Edge Preview), automated previewing tool Edge Inspect (formerly Shadow) and mobile app packager PhoneGap Build have all arrived in the suite as version 1.0 releases, and come with both Edge Web Fonts as well as TypeKit to spruce up text. A pair of pre-release utilities, Edge Code (Brackets) and Edge Reflow, are also joining the group to tackle the nitty-gritty of editing web code and layouts. Any of the apps will readily cooperate with third-party software, although they won't always be cheap: while most of the Edge suite is free to use in at least a basic form as long as you have a Creative Cloud membership at any level, Edge Animate is only free during its initial run and should eventually cost either $15 per month or $499 in a one-time sale. For pros that want to burnish their corner of the web to a shine, the result just might be worth the expense.
