Training for Fireworks CS5 begins by teaching you the foundations of Fireworks and will quickly show you how to create vector shapes and design a logo. You will also learn to work with text, bitmaps and layers before moving onto creating interactive buttons using slices, hot spots and rollovers. The new Adobe Fireworks CS5 highly optimized graphics for the web or virtually any device from smartphones to kiosks to embedded displays. Produce websites, user interfaces, and rich prototypes that are editable in both vector and bitmap modes.

New Fireworks Wireframe websites

Quickly create wireframes from Fireworks templates. Add text, symbols, and imagery with the robust vector and bitmap toolset. Add pages and customize them quickly with Smart Guides, and export them as clickable PDF mock-ups for approval.

New Fireworks Deliver transparent web graphics

Create graphics with transparent alpha layers that will display correctly on any browser. Optimize your designs with Fireworks and export them as PNG-8 files for true cross-browser transparency.

Export standards-compliant CSS layouts with external style sheets for completion into Adobe Dreamweaver. Take your design into Adobe Flash Professional and preserve layer states and symbols for animation interactivity development.

Open native Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator files with high fidelity of layers, effects, blend modes, up to 100 artboards, and even double-byte text. Your ability to edit vectors, bitmaps, and text objects remains intact.

Import objects, pages, or whole documents from Fireworks into Flash Catalyst. Leverage the accessible Fireworks API to create custom FXG export scripts for advanced batch processing. Create skin components such as buttons, menu types, and form elements for use in Flash Builder.

Finally, you will explore wireframing, RIA, AIR and mobile prototyping and how Fireworks CS5 allows you to design in multiple pages and even export standards compliant CSS.
