SWiSH COURSE

SWiSH and Flash are programs that are used to create animations that will display on a website. Flash has a very steep learning curve and it costs TEN TIMES (appr. $500.00) as much as SWiSH ($49.95). SWiSH can be used to create Flash files. With it, you will be able to create Flash effects for ANY website in seconds. You can get a free 15 day trial copy of SWiSH from SWiSHZone.

Our course will teach you all that you need to know in order to use SWiSH effectively. It's a COMPLETE COURSE, not merely tutorials. You won't be given examples, you'll be taught how to use SWiSH to create some very complicated Flash movies.

YOU WILL BE TAUGHT HOW TO CREATE EACH OF THE ABOVE EFFECTS AS PART OF OUR SWiSH COURSE.

The first Module of this course is totally free to everyone! Please don't hesitate to take it, even if you don't plan on continuing with the rest of the course. The total cost of the entire course is $9.99 USD. This charge is only if you decide to continue on and take the second Module of the course. We offer a 100% money back guarantee to anyone who is not satisfied with our SWiSH course. Our SWiSH course is NOT included as part of ANY FACT special offer!

The course consists of TWO modules, SWiSH Introduction and SWiSH Presentations. Each Module contains Lessons (e.g. Introduction is a Lesson in the SWiSH INTRODUCTION Module) and each lesson consists of many screenpages of information. Each lesson has a test or assignment at the end of it that you must pass, or you have to take the lesson over again. Items in BLUE are the actual screenpage names.

The complete course consists of over 160 screen pages of information.
