    I am taking some classes to lean more skills I can use for web design.

    Not sure what I should take this semester.

    - Java Programming I
    - Adobe Illustrator I
    - Flash Animation I
    - Object-Oriented Programming

    Looking to take two of these?

    I plan on doing freelance web design and marketing, not too much programming but would like to know the basics.

    It is better that you must do following course.because as a computer student I have done these courses In my opinion and as a software engineer it is better.

    No dreamweaver classes, unfortunately. Anyway I can learn dreamweaver without taking a class, any good sites?

    I know photoshop pretty well but they do have an "advanced photosop" class I might look into.

    The adobe illustrator class is online, will that make it hard without an instructor? The flash class is 3.5hrs 1 day a week, should be fun.

    EDIT - Wow, I can't belileve I have never used dreamweaver before, I code my sites manually in notepad currently, this looks much easier.
