Programmers, on the other hand, are happiest working directly with the code. To
accomplish their goals efficiently, coders need a responsive, flexible editor capable
of handling a wide range of computer languages. Just how much assistance is
required is a matter of personal taste: Some code writers want all the help they
can get, with features such as syntax coloring, code completion, and Code Hints,
among others. Other programmers just want the editor to stay out of their way.
Dreamweaver tries to give coders the best of both worlds by providing a fullfeatured
editor with numerous options. In addition to the features mentioned in
the preceding paragraph, Dreamweaver includes full tag libraries in numerous
languages: HTML, CFML, ASP.NET, JSP, and PHP, to name a few. Both handcoders
and visual designers can enjoy the benefits of Dreamweaver tools such as
the Snippets panel, for adding chunks of code via drag-and-drop, and the Tag
inspector, for displaying all the attributes of a chosen tag??”and making them
editable as well. This chapter covers all these features and more.
Although the Internet is made up of a plethora of technologies, HTML is still at
the heart of a Web page. This chapter gives you a basic understanding of how
HTML works and provides you with the specific building blocks to begin creating
Web pages.
