[Year 12 IT Apps] RE: Planners for next year...

Sat Nov 29 18:00:41 EST 2008

Schools should have access  to frontage 2007 or ours does anyway.

I use visual web developer as it is free and it can also use silverlight
which gives flash a good run for its money, in fact for developers it
outdoes flash in many areas.

Express web you need to pay for and if all you are creating are client side
scripts then is it worth it? remember some professionals  still use notepad
to create webpages .

Also, our technician is dragging me (kicking and screaming) into Office 2007 next year and I believe that Front Page no longer exists - does anyone have experience with the replacement program, Expression Web (or something similar)

Also, there may be some first year or returning to teaching personnel out there who could use it.

It'd be nice to know early so we could actually train/PD/study up for the new bits during the 2009 year for 2010. (crash course learning isn't a big skill of mine, but its one I am getting familiar with! )
