Before you start learning to slice a complex website layout, you should have a basic knowledge of using Dreamweaver (I will be using Dreamweaver MX) and a graphics program (I use Corel Photopaint v.11) that allows you to perform Masking actions and a few other basic functions. This is a COMPLEX layout, so you do need a basic working knowledge to follow along.

Navigating this Website Slicing tutorial site is fairly simple and has been designed for simplicity rather than eye-candy so you can easily surf around and not get lost. Simply use the "Lesson" index on the left-hand side of the website to jump to the desired section, or read through the entire site one lesson section at a time. For the moment, only 1 complete slicing lesson is available, however more may be created in the future.

One last note: I apologize in advance to the folks on 56K! This site has minimal graphics in the layout, but has HUNDREDS of screenshots. The total size of this tutorial when counting the size of the pages and images is over 60MB! I've used thumbnails as much as possible, but it'll still be slow going for anyone not on highspeed.
