August 6, 200818 yr http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q...rials&meta= Personally I would recommend you avoid DW like the plague, but... maybe I'm biased.
August 6, 200818 yr If you are wanting to learn how to create web sites the best thing to use in the beginning is a text editor. Even though it takes a little more time to do then using a WYSIWYG editor, learning how to hand code is site will help you more in the long run. As software like dreamwarver will cause a lot more problems for you when it comes to browser compatibility, and not knowing what you are doing means it will take much longer to fix then if you acctually knew how to build a site correctly yourself. http://htmldog.com/ is a very helpful site for learning how to be create websites
August 6, 200818 yr What's with the Dreamweaver bashing? Dreamweaver offers syntax highlighting for asp, asp.net, php, html and more as well as an ftp facility, I haven't seen another single package that can do all that. Yes you shouldn't use the wysiwyg editor, but that's the same for all wysiwyg editors. The code editor in DW is (IMO) second to none and it's only drawback is its clunkyness.

Err notepad ++, offerers syntax highlighting and then throw in filezilla and then all the things you like about dreamweaver rolled into two bits of free software. But if doing this in one package is worth the over the top price of DW then fair enough. I have nothing against dreamweaver, as I use it at work. My problem is new to web design people thinking that the WYSIWYG editor within dreamweaver makes them a web designer, when they don't know how to code. So while DW is fine to use, it is normally better to start off in a text editor and hand code from scratch.
August 6, 200818 yr Dreamweaver offers syntax highlighting for asp, asp.net, php, html and more as well as an ftp facility, I haven't seen another single package that can do all that. Notepad++ and Filezilla can do all of that and more for a big price tag of £0.00
August 6, 200818 yr Notepad++ and Filezilla can do all of that and more for a big price tag of £0.00 I agree, Notepad on Windows or TextMate on MAC Somtimes I use Microsoft Expression Web 2 just to confirm the code I have wrote is valid and in the right place. Maybe start by going to W3 and learning also lynda.com has great tutoirls on it
August 6, 200818 yr Yep, if Dreamweaver was upto £50 then I might be tempted to use it as it does have some good features - although you'd be hard pressed to tear me away from TextMate all the same. But at £600, Dreamweaver isn't an option for most people (unless you're using an illegal copy - which is utterly out of the question if you are attempting to make a living from your web design work) and it certainly doesn't offer any more functionality for web developers over the cheaper or even free alternatives to warrant it's huge price tag.
August 6, 200818 yr If your a full time student you can get dreamweaver, flash, fireworks and contribute for £80
August 6, 200818 yr If your a full time student you can get dreamweaver, flash, fireworks and contribute for £80 But you cannot use these for commercial use, so once you are ready to use it for jobs you will need to buy a full licence for it.
