I finished up the new Dreamweaver 8 Beyond the Basics title for lynda.com on Friday. After 4 solid days in a little sound-proof room, it's time to head back home and catch up on all of the emails and questions from readers. The Beyond the Basics title covers advanced template usage, building multi-column CSS layouts, using some rapid coding techniques in Dreamweaver you might not have known where there, as well as a chapter on getting your feet wet with dynamic development in Dreamweaver 8.

Before I left I also recorded a few pick ups for the Dynamic Development with Dreamweaver 8 title, which should hopefully be released in the next week or two.

Business Week has a great interview with one of the owners of 37Signals on their design philosophy and why it's a good idea to keep things simple.

I'm getting more and more interested in the whole AJAX buzzword. To that end, I found a link to SAJAX through the MXNA. So I'm mostly posting this link for my own reference :), but you can enjoy it too...

If you've used this already, please let me know what you think about it. I'm out of town until Saturday, but I plan on giving it a trial run next week to see how much fun I can have.

Well it looks like AOL has finally dropped a new Netscape. Thankfully, this one is based off of Firefox 1.0, so it should render great and be pretty stable. I haven't downloaded it yet, so if you've played with it or know of any known issues not currently in their release notes, let me know how it goes.

That's right, Intermediate Dreamweaver MX 2004 is now available from the online training library at Lynda.com. Sign up and view it today (cause you love me... :-).
