  • Software Availability

    We will use Adobe's CS4 suite of software tools. We will use Dreamweaver to create web pages, Fireworks for working with images, and Flash for animation and dynamic web pages. This software is expensive, so I recommend you use the computers available on campus.

    The software is available on campus as shown in the table below:
