[Pro] Tutorials for FreewayPro 6?

OK. I’ve upgraded my Freeway to version 6 (and even bought Exhibeo). Is there any tutorials to show the ins and outs of setting up documents with the new settings that have been introduced in this version?

External style sheets, HTML5, the measurements options are all new and a tad confusing. I just want to make sure I’m starting on the right foot when I begin a new site.

The videos on SP site are too basic and the User Guide has the original tutorials in it that don’t cover any new features.

Thanks.

Bob

I don’t know about tutorials but using external stylesheets is generally considered best practice. HTML5 is not necessary but there’s a lot of good stuff in there so unless you have a compelling reason to use another doctype I say use it.

Its a bit of a bugbear for me. FW6 has been out for ages now yet the documentation and tutorials are lacking. Apart from a ‘whats new in FW6’ PDF there’s very little in the way of tutorials to fully explain the new features.

The problem (and I probably wrote this elsewhere on this board) is simply, that the so called “new features” are only showing its full strength if people start to change their attitude towards page-construction.

This is, what I call the “Box-in-Box-Model-Pain” - a thing long introduced but it will be left to each user doing it or not. The RELATIVE POSITIONING of items is the REAL STRENGTH of the Freeway-generation +6.

All the rest (Drop’n Drag) is pretty much the same as in the prev. generations.

And there is even a written exclusively free BoxModel tutorial by Softpress (but forgot its URL honestly). But as I said:

If people don’t use it … it’s exactly worth the paper it’s been written on.

It should be furthermore said, that the “new features” are as well (nearby completely) available in FW lower 6 - cause we are mostly talking about CSS - which is fortunately common good (but mostly harder to reach and not with a basic knowledge about CSS properties).

As a result, there are today two kinds of users:

Those that see Freeway as an app that has to work as expected and those, that try to implement the worldwide CSS tricks into the app making it working for them as scheduled.

Cause Freeway only produces code.

I back the idea of tutorial videos but I have found the knowledge base to be helpful: Docs - Softpress Talk
