   Expression Web 4 learning made easier, December 6, 2010

   This review is from: Microsoft Expression Web 4 LiveLessons (Video Training) (DVD-ROM)

   I have been trying to get my head around developing a web page. HTML, CSS, tags open and close, proper code, I have found it draining to say the least.

   Microsoft helped out with their Expression Studio Web 4 Professional software. But I have been reading books and working through examples but it is slow going and I am struggling to make the link between what is on the written page and what it is actually doing on the web page.

   And then EXPRESSION WEB 4 LIVELESSONS ARRIVED!!!

   It is much easier to follow. Morten Rand-Hendriken knows his subject and does a great job showing me how it works. I am finding it easier to watch as Morten does his magic in front of me, while describing how he is doing it using Expression Web 4 and immediately seeing what the end result is on the page using video.

   This is even more enlightening when learning and working with CSS.

   While I am still learning Expression Web 4, I am finding some of the tricks and built in functions very useful.

   As I am just learning the subject matter I really can not comment on the accuracy of the content or if it represents the best practices (however he has exemplary credentials).

   I am learning more in a few hours with the videos than I have struggling for days and days with the books.

   I think EXPRESSION WEB 4 LIVELESSONS is a great value.

   SIDE NOTE

   MS Expression Studio Web 4 Professional upgrade is an incredible value on Amazon!! AND you do not have to be a registered user of an earlier version of Expression Studio to qualify for the upgrade, any licensed Microsoft Office owner also qualifies for the upgrade program.

   From MS Site

   You must be a licensed user of one of the following products to be eligible for this upgrade version:
   Any Microsoft Expression product
   Any Adobe Creative Suite
   Any Microsoft Office product

   Very clear and concise instructions. I purchased the video, along with a book, to evaluate MS Expression Web 4. The reviews on MS Expression Web 4 have been very mixed with one of the more positive feedbackss being, “better than Expression Web 3.” The video has made me feel a little better about purchasing either the Ultimate or Profession version. I’m trying to determine if I need the Ultimate or if I can make due with the Professional. Great video!

   Top Notch Content Sabotaged by Publisher and Pace of Change, March 24, 2012

   It takes time to research, write, publish, and sell a reference book on complex software, and if the standards and conditions are changing, traditional publishing and distribution face serious challenges.

   Much (most?) lesson content like practice files needed for exercises shown in the video appear missing from the disc. While the presenter is an expert and gives clear instructions of a great demo site, the package becomes unusable at Lesson 7…out of 26 or 27.

   I just found a different set of data files is available at: […] If you Sign up for a Que account, (email required), click “Register you Product”, enter: “0789747227”. I clicked “Support” since the missing data is a defect, but the publisher has chosen to categorize required data files under “Bonus Content”. Rating dropped from 3 stars for incompetence to 2 stars for incompetence combined with forced registration in order to be subjected to insulting arrogance with a pinch of corporate cowardice. Fess up, Que: required files are not “Bonus Content”! I have not completed the course, so I can’t tell if the new zip file contains everything needed.

   In addition to earlier material for EW which is out of date, Lesson 8 features out of date instructions for Flickr, which now make little sense.

   Readers may be skeptical of 5 star reviewers don’t seem to think that being unable to use 75-80% of the product is worth prominently noting for others on their review. One simply has to wonder if they really went through the lessons.

   2012.03.25 Update: Now in Lesson 13, I’m convinced this should be a digital download product. Outdated EW functions, website examples, and links to recommended online tools simply have changed and moved too quickly for this form of distribution. I look forward to, and have pre-ordered the author’s upcoming Sams Teach Yourself Microsoft Expression Web 4 in 24 Hours: Updated for Service Pack 2 – HTML5, CSS 3, JQuery (2nd Edition) (Sams Teach Yourself — Hours), and plan to work on it ASAP before the window of being (relatively) current closes.

   In Lesson 20, creation of a style “#menu ul li a” appears to have been accidentally cut, so at 09:42, the available styles list goes from “#menu ul li” to “#menu ul ul”, whereas at 10:07 this new style magically appears as already entered into styles.css between those styles as the presenter begins modifying it.
