Macromedia Dreamweaver
Macromedia Dreamweaver is a web page editor and tool for managing
web sites. This means that you can create and edit web pages and
structure groups of files into a whole web site without knowing
HTML. (Of course, anyone making web pages would benefit from knowing
at least a little about how HTML works, but a web page editor like
Dreamweaver lets you push buttons while you’re still learning—or
if you’re in a hurry.) Dreamweaver has become standard
equipment for most webmasters just as Microsoft Word is standard
equipment in most offices. Most web professionals would say they
couldn't live without it, and it will make even a web novice’s
life so much easier that it’s worth the purchase price. It
makes things fast and easy for the expert, and at the same time
allows you to create your first web site and then grow into complex
tasks like forms and embedding movies and other media, without breaking
a sweat. Among the features that set Dreamweaver apart is how easy
it makes using cascading style sheets (CSS), allowing someone who has
never seen a style sheet to create accessible web pages and to precisely
control their look. It also offers useful templates and “snippets”
of pre-written HTML to make creating web pages faster and easier.
Webmonkey provides a Dreamweaver walk -through, which is a quick
and easy-to-follow overview of Dreamweaver.
The official Macromedia Dreamweaver Support Center has online and
printable tutorials, answers to common questions, and tips on getting
started.
These animated tutorials are from Qarbon's Viewlet Library.
They do NOT require you to have, or download, a plug-in. The
tutorials advance automatically, and you can use the control buttons
in the viewing window to pause or skip ahead. Groovy.
