For those of us who are already creating apps using Adobe Digital Publishing Suite (DPS), but want more, this course is for you. From adding HTML articles and smooth scrolling content, to more advanced interactivity like web content, panoramas, web fonts, how to show/hide content, animation, and more. Join instructor Brian Wood as he takes you through some of the more awesome interactive features that you see in existing apps that make you say, “How’d they do that?” This course builds on An Introduction to Adobe Digital Publishing Suite, but that course is not required if you already have a basic understanding of DPS.
