Lumenbrite Training

We were recently asked to write a ColdFusion article for the Adobe Developer Connection. This article can be seen here: Customizing the Eclipse IDE for ColdFusion application development

We are proud to announce our first Adobe AIR class at Lumenbrite. We will be conducting a Flex 3: Building AIR Applications with Flex class in Austin, Texas. This is a formed class and open to the public.

We have created some cool new pages on the site to feature each of our Adobe Training locations. These sections include some panoramas, maps using the Yahoo Maps API for Flash and most importantly, details about each of these locations. You can get some information about where to park, where to stay and what to do if you come from out of town. Check out the new SPRY tabs that we are using to organize this content on these sections. We are teaching these SPRY tabs in our new Dreamweaver Website Development course.

Signup for one of our Adobe training classes at any of our locations and receive free Adobe branded goodies. You must enter the promo code to get them. We will also be raffling off software packages to all promo code students! For more information please visit our promos section.

We have just completed setting up our training center in Austin and are already accepting enrollments. Check out more about this location in downtown that is just footsteps away from beautiful Town Lake and the famous 6th Street. You can also view a complete listing of our training offerings at our locations section.

Adobe User Groups provide a forum of support and technology to Web professionals of all levels and professions. Whether you're a designer, seasoned developer, or just starting out - Adobe User Groups strengthen community, increase networking, unveil the latest technology innovations, and reveal the techniques that turn novices into experts, and experts into gurus. Check more detail on our Adobe User Group Section.

These usergroups are run and managed by the users themselves. There are many of these organizations nationwide and can be found here. Lumenbrite currently supports two usergroups, in El Paso and Phoenix, with space for meetings, giveaways and other resources...

Adobe Creative Suites 3 training is soon coming.

These courses are currently listed in our catalog as the previous versions, but upon request, we'll load up the CS3 versions on our machines during your training and teach you the new features found in CS3.

Our new catalog is up at lumenbrite.com/training. If you familiar with our previous Macromedia training platform, you'll see a few additions from the Adobe product line. These new courses include Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop, Framemaker, Illustrator, and InDesign. These courses are conducted by our experienced Adobe certified instructors in Phoenix, El Paso and Albuquerque; not to mention on-site throughout the USA. Also check out our new Phoenix location, more pictures will be soon to come.

Acrobat Professional has really grown up. We have had the opportunity to provide alot of Acrobat 8 Professional training lately all over the country for different disciplines. From the print world applications like those at Prima Games, to typical business environments that need to be productive, there is a need for Acrobat everywhere. We currently have a 2-day training in Acrobat 8 Professional, but I want to break it down a bit to offer some workshops that will last one day and will be more tailored to a particular company's needs. Everyone could use some Acrobat training, especially since most don't even know how much you can do with it - when you couple LiveCycle; Adobe's form creator for Acrobat. This program is a MUST for all businesses today. If you want to learn more check it out - even test drive it at Adobe.com or contact us and we can even give you a demo if you are interested in some training.

On October 19, 2006, two of our sites won awards at the Biztech Best Little Website on the Border Contest. The second place winner was the new El Paso Opera site and first place was the Western Technical College website.
We are pleased for the kudos, but even more pleased that our work has brought value to our clients. That's why we build them!

Many of you may be asking - What happened to the black Lumenbrite site???

We have rebuilt Lumenbrite using the latest web standards for XHTML and CSS along with some AJAX type elements all wrapped up in the Coldfusion application environment. We hoped to be able to cover all bases by creating a 508C compliant site that was useful and informative. Our blogs, which are php driven are linked to our site through XSLT and stuff.

In a few weeks, we will be creating a style swicher for those of you that like to personize things. This will allow you to click a button on the page and change the site colors, images and the overall appearance of the site to suite your tastes!

This site is a work in progress. Our original site took about 2 years to get where we wanted it. This new site took about 3 weeks; along with doing other client projects and trainings. It's been a tough three weeks. (If I used smileys - it would be a tired one)

If you like the site, please let us know. If you find a bug, also let us know and we'll buy you a coffee at our cafe.
Happy Surfing!
