Re: Dreamweaver

[DSA]

I too learned HTML with notepad. Even today I still use notepad to create my basic page, and then use Dreamweaver to add the tricky stuff later. I use Adobe Photoshop to create buttons, ImageReady to make them roll-overs, and then use Dreamweaver to add the Java scripted buttons to my standard page.   I suppose you could do the java stuff by hand, but a single typo will spoil your day. Dreamweaver will highlight the syntax error for you (it highlights it in yellow), and then you have the option of reviewing your page in IE or Netscape. You can then convert the pages to XML, or other formats, add Flash content, WAV files etc with a drop down menu, whatever. Nearly all professional Web designers use the Macromedia package because it is so powerful and comprehensive in its range of options.   Maybe some of the younger fellows on the list should get over this anti-MS crap and get real. Sure, MS is different from Linux, but I don’t think I would suggest that one is better than the other. It will be a long while before Linux comes up with anything that can compete with Microsoft’s Active Directory, its an awesome product, and if you get over your negative diatribe, and learn a bit about it, you too will find that MS has a lot to offer.
