50 Fireworks Tutorials for Designers
Published in DesignAlthough Fireworks doesn’t get as much attention as Photoshop, for web designers it can be as good or a better tool for many tasks as compared to Photoshop. One of the challenges of working with Fireworks is that most of us simply feel more comfortable in Photoshop because of having more experience with it. In the absence of experience, quality tutorials can become a very valuable resource to help with the learning curve.
In this post we’ll link to 50 tutorials that will help designers to learn more about Fireworks and what can be accomplished with it.
