[Year 12 IT Apps] MS Expression..Easy or Hard to learn?

Fri Feb 20 17:43:17 EST 2009

Hi Jason and others...
This old dinosaur still has Front Page as the tool being used at this point (Dreamweaver too painful!).
The FP replacement program..Expression...is it easy to install for the techie, and then easy to learn(ie Kentproof!) yes, I do have a sense of humour and I hate always having to learn new software but hey, its the job we do so I just get on with it...grrmmph! 
At least in Maths, a derivative by first principles is always the same(method) and not always changing(maths joke..and yes I know derivative measures rate of change and warped me enjoys maths stuff as I dont read novels!)

Hi List
Just wondering if there is anyone who is using MS Sharepoint as a web design program. Waiting patiently for tech to in stall MS Expression, have been waiting for this program since November last year!!!!
If there is anyone using sharepoint, I am looking for tasks/tutorials for my Yr 10 IT class, they are yet to do any web design..
Any help would be super.
Cheers

The open source versions are great and can be freely downloaded and shared for installation and use at home by the students. Amongst others I recognise, here is another we can add to the list of free versions to try out.

I'll admit to using the rather lame but workable spreadsheet version on the VITTA website I made years ago (original author credit pending in this spot)

	Hi all,

	I have just (and I know I am a little slow on the uptake here) realised that my school no longer has Microsoft project,,, and if I want it on the machines for the sac I need to pay $200 per machine. as it is no longer in the agreement.. it is the program that all the teachers here have used for Gantt charts for the last 7 years.. so now I do not know what to recommend or even try myself.. 

	so here is my question.. what programs are all of you using for your Gantt charts for the sacs?  is there a really good one out there that is cheaper or should I just pay the $200 per machine which I am loathing to.. and so is the boss....

	thanks for your assistance and time with this.
	cheers
