In its
latest incarnation, Dreamweaver has rededicated itself to Web standards
and sharpened its focus. In addition to creating standards-based HTML pages
with enhanced Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) rendering, it is also suitable for coding
a wide range of Web formats, including JavaScript, XML, and ActionScript??”
even those incorporating Web 2.0 methods, such as Ajax. Among its many other
distinctions, it was the first Web authoring tool capable of addressing multiple
server models. This feature makes it equally easy for developers of ASP,
ColdFusion, or PHP to use it.
Dreamweaver is truly a tool designed by Web developers for Web developers.
Designed from the ground up to work the way professional Web designers do, it
speeds site construction and streamlines site maintenance. Because Web designers
rarely work in a vacuum, Dreamweaver integrates smoothly with the leading
media programs, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Fireworks, and Adobe Flash. This
chapter describes the philosophical underpinnings of the program and provides a
sense of how Dreamweaver blends traditional HTML and other Web languages
with cutting-edge server-side techniques and CSS design standards. You also
learn some of the advanced features that it offers to help you manage a Web site.
