Getting to Know Photoshop’s Toolbox

4 June 2010 / Leave a Comment

Getting to Know Photoshop's Toolbox

One of the first things you encounter when you start using Photoshop is its toolbox. You use the toolbox to access all of Photoshop’s tools, letting you do anything from moving stuff around through to painting, filling with colour, creating text, and lots more.

The toolbox contains 28 icons and around 60 tools, and it can seem bewildering if you’re not used to it. Never fear — it all starts to make sense once you get to know your way around the various tools, and understand how they’re grouped together.

This tutorial gets you up to speed with the Photoshop toolbox, and each of the tools it contains. By the time you’ve finished reading it, you’ll be well on your way to working proficiently with the Photoshop toolbox, and you’ll have a good general understanding of all the tools in Photoshop too.

Let’s get started!

Introducing the JavaScript DOM

3 October 2008 / Leave a Comment

The Document Object Model lets you access and manipulate the contents of Web pages using JavaScript. By using the DOM, you can do wonderful things like:

  • Create tabbed Web pages
  • Create expandable/collapsible (“accordion”-style) Web page elements
  • Generate Web page content dynamically (on the fly)

In this introductory article, you learn about the concept of the DOM, and how it’s used to access Web page elements from within JavaScript.

Introduction to Perl and the CGI

13 February 2003 / Leave a Comment

You’ve probably heard of CGI scripts. They’re what you often see after you’ve filled in a Web form (e.g. “Thank you for contacting us!”), or when you use a guestbook or a bulletin board.

Introduction to CSS

21 April 1998 / Leave a Comment

Style sheets (or to give them their full title, cascading style sheets or CSS) are becoming more and more common on the Web. They were first introduced in a limited form to Internet Explorer 3.0, and are recognised by nearly all modern browsers.

This tutorial will show you what style sheets are, when to use them, and (hopefully) how to use them!

Introduction to JavaScript

21 September 1997 / Leave a Comment

JavaScript’s a great language. I love it. It may not have the speed or power of Java or C, or the tight integration of ActiveX, but on the plus side it’s interpreted (no messing about with compilers), fast to load, easy to debug and it embeds itself neatly into your web page.

Most important of all, it’s easy to learn. Hopefully if you’re fairly new to the language, these tips will help get you started. Even seasoned JavaScript coders may learn a thing or two from these tips – you never know!

This tutorial shows you how to get started with JavaScript. We’ll look at how to embed JavaScript in your web page, and how JavaScript talks to your web browser. I’ll illustrate these points by building a simple program to display an alert box when the page is first loaded.
