Publisher's description of Adobe Dreamweaver
From Adobe Systems:The striking new user interface of Dreamweaver CS4 is both an aesthetic pleasure and highly efficient. Web professionals of every stripe will find a workspace arrangement to fit their style, or they can customize their own. The revised user interface shares a uniform look and overall functionality with other key members of the Adobe Creative Suite 4 family including Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended and Adobe Flash CS4 Professional software. Bring the future of Web design to your desktop with the advanced code handling found in Dreamweaver CS4. From the integrated Web-standard CSS to support for world-class JavaScript frameworks, Dreamweaver CS4 redefines the world of web authoring.
With Dreamweaver CS4, you can: create next-generation web experiences; work in a real-world view of your CSS, JavaScript, and other dynamic, rich media content directly in Dreamweaver CS4; navigate precisely from a selected page element to its code, regardless of where it is located; integrate third-party Web widgets from the most popular JavaScript frameworks into your pages; learn best practices; design visually with CSS best practices. Create Ajax-driven interactivity while supporting accessibility and best practices in your completed pages; take control of your content; enable content authors to update Web pages directly in their browsers; add dynamic data to your site without a database or complex coding.
Editor's review of Adobe Dreamweaver
stars
- "Dream a bigger dream"
- Version reviewed: Adobe Dreamweaver CS4
Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 is the first rollout of this Web design application since Adobe acquired Macromedia. Is it the same Dreamweaver as before?
Installation time has doubled, not including Adobe's mandatory registration process. Once installed, Dreamweaver looks more like Adobe's other products, but it will be familiar to users of previous versions. There are some new, dockable palettes for new features, but the Welcome screen, toolbars, and main window are largely unchanged.
CSS support now features a large array of templates and new tools to help manage styles, and commentary on how best to use the CSS--including Internet Explorer workarounds. Improved integration means you can drag a Photoshop file directly to Dreamweaver, and select and copy any area of a PS image, including layers, and paste it into Dreamweaver.
Adobe's new Spry framework for Ajax is a JavaScript library of code snippets that makes it easy to add client-side behaviors. It's broken into Effects, which are animations, Data, which binds dynamic data to HTML, and Widgets, which create interactive elements such as pop-up menus.
Those learning the baby steps of Web design should take a class or read some books before diving in. Dreamweaver's advanced features won't be intuitive for anyone who hasn't studied them first. But because of the high price tag, we don't recommend upgrading to CS3 as a standalone product.
