Adobe CS4
I have recently updated all my software from CS3 to CS4. The new Creative Suite consists of many more programs including Adobe Soundbooth, Premier Pro Captivate and Presenter which means much more for my clients with WebDesign.
I have also been learning Adobe Illustrator CS4, i am hoping to use this package to produce effective vector graphics such as the ones below.

Web Standards Information
September 1st, 2008 by Steve Leonard
The benefits of XHTML and CSS are:
- Separation of style from content making your site easy to maintain
- Accessibility. Read more about it here
- Speed (file sizes are smaller and load faster)
- Search engine optimisation
- Forward compatibility
When a web site or web page is described as complying with web standards, it usually means that the site or page has valid or nearly valid HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The HTML should also meet accessibility and semantic guidelines.
When web standards are discussed, the following publications are typically seen as foundational:
- Recommendations for markup languages, such as HTML, XHTML, SVG, and XForms, from W3C.
- Recommendations for stylesheets, especially CSS, from W3C.
- Standards for ECMAScript, most commonly JavaScript, from Ecma International.
- Recommendations for Document Object Models, from W3C.
Web accessibility is normally based upon the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines[1] published by the W3C's Web Accessibility Initiative.
Work in the W3C toward the Semantic Web is currently focused by publications related to the Resource Description Framework (RDF), Gleaning Resource Descriptions from Dialects of Languages (GRDDL) and Web Ontology Language (WOL).
People who ardently support Web standards often self-describe as standaristas.
