Sams Teach Yourself Microsoft Expression Web in 24 Hours

This book is a hands-on tutorial that teaches novices as well as intermediate and even advanced designers how to use the new software and how to establish a work process that in the end generates proper standards based web sites. It will take the reader from the design and concept stage all the way to a fully working web site and teach techniques that can be used to design, build and even re-design websites to make them standards based and clean. Since Expression Web 2 offers such a fundamentally different approach to web authoring, even seasoned designers and developers will benefit from a thorough yet simple introduction that helps them utilize the program features to their fullest and establish new and effective work routines that will substantially reduce their work load.- Expression Web 2 is launching at an ideal time because the competition has stagnated somewhat. The other leading web authoring tools do not generate standards based code leaving it to the designer to know how to do things right. This new program alters the learning curve and opens the world of standards based code to designers with little or no coding experience. The program is closely linked to Microsofts new web offering called Silverlight - the first true competition to Adobe Flash.
