Dreamwaver MX,

That program is really a "Dream Waver" has someone tried it ? Is it not the best site building tool existing ? This thing is really what I dreamed a site building tool should be. No, no, I'm not working for Macromedia, its not a publicity. I just am too exited of having that on my hands, and see what it can do...

 

In fact, all the Macromedia Studio set, is what someone need to build a web-site,,, I found it easier then Adobe Go live thing.

Domino,

At the time I use to run a large internet site where we had both internal and contract staff working at different projects we only used notepad(vi for the unix geeks) as our site building/management tool as there were many custom tags we had that no tool like GoLive or FrontPage or even Dreamweaver could handle.

 

However the consultants were all required to build it in Dreamweaver and hand the html to us to be processed with our tags as we would not accept any of the others because of ALL the additional tags that they put in the code and the weird ways they each handled things.

 

I have not seen Dreamweaver FX, but I sure hope that the output is really nice and clean as it use to be.

The best site building tool I have ever used has been Microsoft Notepad I use that and a few little parser tools I wrote myself to automate things.

 

I personally don't like when there are too many bells and whistles (i.e. Flash) on a site. I think sites should be mainly text based with some graphics ...

 

I like Macromedia MX, but I've mainly used it to modify a game once ... there was this guy that kept making fun of me on some other site ... well, THIS is what happened to him!!! It was so funny how everyone reacted to this ... it was like a CLEAR victory on my part, since all he knew was photoshop and kept making stupid pictures of me!!! (it was all in good fun though ... nothing serious).

Hmmmmmm, I just hope Harut does not get crazy ideas like this.

I have no idea of the other versions, but this one really is what I expected, I have used GoLive in the past, and stoped there, with all the plug-in things difficulties that I found hard, I don't know what it became now, the only reason that will make me move would be that I like Adobe, and for their innovations. For sure Frontpage is a joke, trash compared with those two, Frontpage is good for few pages web-sites, but the way the other two works, particullary dreamweaver, since I can talk of its latest version, the incorporation of objects, like the way it handles Flash animations as objects, or the other sets in the Macromedia studio... its amazing.

Nice little game Sip!

 

As for Dreamweaver... I have never been a fan of 'visual' HTML editors, although Dreamweaver seems to be the best one on the market now. Especially since their acquisition of HomeSite - probably the strongest HTML editor I have ever used. I also have to commend Macromedia on the integration of other tools for the web into their suite - eg. Fireworks. When building larger sites, firworks can batch process & automate many long cumbersome tasks... making life easier for the graphics guys & the programmers...

 

If you can get a copy of Homesite (I believe it's integrated into Dreamweaver now, but as a separate module) try it out. It's nice and clean - and easy to use if someone knows coding basics.
