Introduction to Hotglue

About Me

I am a 26 year old first year UWE Digital Media student,
I hope to be a web developer/designer in the future. My interests include coding, designing, DJ'ing, socialising and watching films.

Here we learned of a new tool called Hotglue. A content manipulation system with minimal to no coding required and a simple drag and drop method of designing.

I watched several tutorials on the site to get to grips with it. So far it seems like a great idea, but not much use to serious designers who will need some serious coding and placement structure in order to get their desired outcome.

It's cross brower compatability isn't fantastic and things seems to appear differently on every browser and resolution setting.

Although it's very easy to use, Hotglue can at the same time be very frustrating to use and very fiddly.

Here is a video taken from the Hotglue site to give you a quick idea of what it does! Enjoy!
