Hi- I have done a bit of searching on this, about 2 hours worth, and cannot find answers. Hopefully this forum can help me.
I consider myself a beginner with the following experience; I have used MS Front Page for years to design and update a personal website that has an online resume and some links to my personal interests. I also own and run a business on the side for which I made my own site, and update it frequently, using GoDaddy.com. This site has earned me a lot of business however it is time to move on. Thirdly I have been asked by my employer to assist in a 'revamp' of their website, which is currently rudimentary at best. I want to help make this site cutting edge with advanced animations.
To my direct question which is two part:
1) Would MS Expression be a good product to buy and try to 'self-teach'? Possibly related, I have self taught (using tutorials and a lot of time) programs such as Autocad, Revit, and Quickbooks. [Momma didn't raise no dummy!]
2) Is there a direction that I should take from the beginning, and /or a product that I should use if I would like to also try my hand someday soon at an iphone app for my side business? I want to develop an app that ties to my website and has interactive options for purchases and specific client information that is accessible with unique usernames and passwords.
I am aware that my "experience" is not worth much here, so I am not looking for comments there. Just looking for the best path to move forward.
Thank you in advance!
