    Microsoft Expression Web 3 on Demand
    by Steve Johnson
    (Que Publishing, 2010)
    ISBN 0-7897-3980-1
    Available in CCSF bookstore or from Amazon.com, about $25. 

    Note: This book has not been updated yet for version 4. The versions are almost identical, so don't worry. 

  • Adobe Acrobat Reader (for printing handouts). This is free software. If you don't already have this software, you can download it here (over 50 megabytes).

  • A recent model Windows computer loaded with Expression Web 4 and a printer. See the requirements.  Expression Web comes in two ways, as Expression Web, or as part of four-product combination called Expression Web Studio. For this class, you only need Expression Web. (Note: Expression Web is not available for Macintosh computers.)

Where to Get Expression Web 4

You have three options for obtaining  Expression Web 4:

  1. Microsoft Expression Web 4 for Free. Microsoft has an arrangement, called DreamSpark, for delivering Expression Studio 4 software for free to all City College students. Expression Studio includes Expression Web and several other programs. The process is lengthy and annoying, but hey, it's free, and it's the full version. I have typed up detailed directions on how to get it. Go to the directions for getting it for free.

  2. You may download and install a FREE 60-day trial version from the Microsoft web site. See Expression Web 60-day Trial.  Of course, it expires after 60 days, so the method above is better.

  3. Expression Web 4 Upgrade, $79. If you are a licensed user of one of the following products, you are eligible for the upgrade price. You can do this if you find other methods too annoying.
    * Any Microsoft® Expression product
    * Any Adobe Creative Suite product
    * Any Microsoft Office product
    If you don't qualify for the upgrade, the cost is $149. For more information, see http://www.microsoft.com/expression/products/Upgrade.aspx

Installation Notes

If you have problems installing the software, please consult with an experienced computer technician. Unfortunately, I am not a technical expert and cannot help you with installation issues. ..especially over the Internet!

What if I don't have a computer?

You can work in the Business Computing Lab, located in Cloud 111 on the Phelan Campus. Eight computers in the lab have Expression Web 4 installed. It's open 6 days a week. See the hours.  Here's a campus map. Here's Cloud Hall--Map. (Click on a building on the map.) On Saturday, you can buy a $1 parking permit for day use in any student lot. Parking Map.
