Vectortuts+: Create Flash Animations Entirely in Illustrator – Screencast

"The world of animation can seem really intimidating — between AfterEffects, Flash and everything else, there's so much to learn. And who has time? Never fear — you can create simple Flash animations without ever leaving the familiar confines of Illustrator, and without any knowledge of Flash. Here are two easy ways to get things moving." - Cheryl Graham

NETTUTS: Easy Website Updates with PageLime

PageLime makes the process of editing static websites laughably easy. There are times when a full CMS like WordPress is far too complicated when only simple edits are required - not to mention the fact that a static template must first be modified accordingly to work with WordPress. Wouldn't it be easier if your current static website could instantly be integrated with a service, without requiring hours of conversion time? This is where PageLime comes in.

ThemeForest: Ask JW: A Plugin to Make Important Announcements

Today’s Q&A comes courtesy of Frederico Gonzalez, from Twitter. He asked if there was an easy way to add announcement bars to the top of his site, much like the one on ActiveDen right now (assuming you’re not logged in). Luckily, as you’ll find, it’s quite simple to whip up a jQuery plugin that will make these announcements a cinch to add.

Jeremy McPeak, author of Professional AJAX, and Beginning JavaScript: 4th Edition, will teach you how to build ASP.NET applications from scratch over the course of the next several video tutorials.

NETTUTS: How to Build a Simple Content Slider jQuery Plugin

I was recently asked by a reader to recommend a helpful content slider plugin. No doubt, there are a bunch of excellent options available -- some which are, perhaps, too excellent! With so much flexibility comes extra weight; especially when sometimes you only need a simple slide or fade transition.

CSS-Tricks #75: How Not To Design a Checkout

You’ll have to forgive me here folks, this isn’t a very constructive screencast. I was frustrated at the crappy checkout process for a software product I was trying, so I thought I’d screencast it as a lesson to us all on how not to design a checkout. It was confusing, frustrating, error-prone, and make me feel unsafe about even going through with the transaction. If you are designing a site to sell something online, nothing is more important to your success than the checkout process and it deserves to be made as simple and pleasurable as possible.

Screencasters Episode 098: A Few Simple Text Treatments

In this episode, I demonstrate a few simple text treatments using Inkscape 0.46.

Nothing too technically challenging here, just a few treatments I’ve done on text in the past that I find valuable. Hopefully it will help spur people to use typography more in their designs.

At the start of this screencast I point to a great web site called The League of Moveable Type. While they only have a few fonts on there at the moment, they are committed to providing a collection of high-quality open source fonts. I commend them for that. Thanks to Troy for pointing me to that site. I’ve already found a couple of fonts there that I’ve used in some of my projects.

Meet the GIMP #124: PS Translation Service

There are a lot of tutorials out there for “The Other Program”, also called Adobe(R) Photoshop(R). (I hope I got the Rs right, can’t find the page where Adobe(R) told the world how to call this program.) A lot of that stuff is easily translated to GIMP, but there are some serious differences. One are the “Adjustment(R) Layers(R)”. This is a way of applying a curve, gradient, hue or saturation change…..  without changing the real image. You can come back later and tweak the curve or the slider – non destructive editing.

There is an easy way to work around this: make a new layer of the visible image and work on that. You have to redo that, if you decide to change something in the lower layers.

To show how to do this I have ripped out a part of John Arnold’s Photowalkthrough podcast and redone the same in GIMP. Photowalktrough is a really good resource for everybody who is into the digital darkroom – independent from the program used. And John has his #100 out! Congratulations!

GIMP will have non destructive editing in a year or two – it’s the main reason for getting GEGL into GIMP and making this big effort of writing a lot of the program again.

In the second part of the show I get the blackboard out and start a new segment in the show. I try to explain how  film and sensors are working. I’ll expose you to some of these lessons for about 5 to 190 minutes and will then decide upon your reaction if I should keep this on. I’ll have them at the end of the show – if you are bored you can just skip the rest.

Sorry, there is no TOC up to now.
