Creating a Website from Scratch with Dreamweaver CC

Part of why I wanted to go to this lab was less about knowing how to set up a website, but rather the fact that he was demoing some HTML5 fundamentals, using the Extracting Assets utility which I think is incredibly useful, and setting up responsiveness quickly. He did so in Dreamweaver CC, which now includes some very useful cross-tool integration features, not the least of which is the Extract Assets tool, which allows you to take a photoshop document, upload it to Dreamweaver, and extract all of the css, color palette, fonts, pixel precise distances between objects within the photoshop layers, and so much more. It was pretty impressive.

Here are some links to Paul Trani resources. He IS an Adobe "Evangelist", so obviously he's slanted that way, but honestly, some very cool stuff there.

He apparently based his talk on a lynda.com course:
