Dreamweaver

[Terry Harvey]

Does anyone use Adobe DreamWeaver? If I'm coding something serious like a theme or a template, I would always use it. I don't touch the WYSIWYG though. It's so simple, the amount of times I've forgotten to close tags is unbelievable, but with DreamWeaver, you don't have to worry about that!

If it's a quick job such as a MOD edit, I'd use Notepad++.

I have never actually used it for anything and prefer to make all my stuff myself by coding it in notepad

 

[Terry Harvey]

It's totally the same in DreamWeaver though. It just makes it easier. For example, one thing that I've already mentioned is that it closes the tags for you. Another is a "snippets" side panel. You can make your own snippets of code and add them in with one click. It makes things so easy for me when I'm using CSS resets.

Dude...hardcore! I at least use Notepad++ because it helps me find where tags might not be closed!

Man, now this makes me want to trick out the dreamweaver on our school computers

I use dreamweaver when I'm russling up a quick site for someone, as my friend wanted him to make a site about warhammer and the school happens to have the latest version of dreamweaver so I used that to make it for him.

 

[Darthmaul]

Yeah, our school has the Adobe CS5 Master collection, so I use that as much as possible

 

[StevenF50]

Yeah same, that's what our school has.

 

[Terry Harvey]

The school I went to was s*it computer-wise. Running on a HP 1 GB Ram, Windows 98 with Microsoft Office 2003 and no Adobe products installed.

 

[StevenF50]

Fail

I know, right!?

 

[StevenF50]

Makes me glad my school is tech savvy.

Our school is huge and has a lot of business/computer classes, so it makes sense for us to have it

 

[StevenF50]

Same here.

I like it, however I'm starting to find some better alternatives that aren't as bulky as DW. It's defiantly a good program though

Care to suggest? I'm open to anything better than DreamWeaver.

 

[StevenF50]

What alternatives would you suggest?

What's your OS? I'm assuming Windows and I know a few for it, one being Aptana Studio

Never heard of it, I'll try it and get back to you guys.

 

[StevenF50]

Tried Aptana before it's okay, I prefer dreamweaver.

 

[Darthmaul]

Notepad++ is the best I have seen for Windows
