I have been working with CA and ASPDN for about 6 months on a rather light level. I am now needing to dive more deeply into the realm of managing our website's design - including editing navigation, the way the URL displays, and a whole host of other things. Basically, we are looking to do a site overhaul. I have basic HTML and CSS experience and am looking at getting training on XML/XSL so I can better understand the XML packages. Can anyone offer any guidance as to any resources or other types of training that would behoove me in this endeavor - especially focusing on the propietary nature of some of the tags/code used by ASPDN and CA?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
~Tonya
Hi Tonya,
While I certainly recommend workign with an experienced designer whenever possible, here are some suggestions for getting started...
1. I would begin by looking at the skinning tutorial provided by ASPDNSF: http://manual.aspdotnetstorefront.com/pdf/skintutorial.pdf. This provides a nice overview of the basics of changing the site.
2. The XML pacakage overview provided by ASPDNSF is helpful (although a little technical): http://manual.aspdotnetstorefront.com/p-157-xml-packages.aspx
3. This video is also a nice overview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqFxALGuQiU
