With Adobe Digital Publishing Suite (DPS), you can publish dynamic, interactive content in the form of an app. This allows you to create, develop, and deliver content like brochures, portfolios, publications, or annual reports in the form of an iPad app without writing code. In this course, Brian Wood will walk you through the DPS workflow, teaching you from the ground up how to leverage your existing InDesign skills to create apps. You’ll learn how to utilize existing print designs or start from scratch, add interactivity, and how to create iPad apps from that content.
This course will focus on the Single Edition version of the DPS family, but users that subscribe to the Professional or Enterprise edition will also find the course content useful.
Brian Wood is Adobe certified in Acrobat X Pro, Illustrator CS5, Dreamweaver CS5 and the author of InDesign CS2 Hands-On-Training, published by Peachpit Press, Illustrator CS5 CIB, as well as numerous training DVDs including InDesign CS2, Illustrator CS2 and Acrobat 8, Acrobat 9, Acrobat forms, Expression Web and more.
