Dreamweaver MX 2004Dreamweaver and CodeCharge Studio are available free and are primary tools for developing websites and database backends.  You can see how you like these editors before the end of the trial period. ASP and javascript are the two scripting languages that I develop with the most, Dreamweaver is my main tool.  I must admit, when I first started, I tried all kinds of html editors including:

  • ASP Express
  • Acehtml
  • and even Frontpage

After fumbling through the interfaces and going through the help files, decided to revert back to the basics. I am now using UltraEdit 32 for most of my hand coding and have found that I get far better results in less time. Learning all of the html tags was a breeze, but it seems alot of editors use CAPS for their tags, some give the id tags others do not, or just plain poorly formatted pages.

By writing the pages by hand you get much more control. Also, you need to completely understand what is happening as the scripts are being processed by the server and browser at runtime. It seems that I was trying WAY to hard to use javascript, dhtml, and tons of VB Script. When it comes down to it I get far better results using strict HTML 4.01, XHTML, CSS, and XML.

Now over 90% of digitalusmedia.com is using this optimized code resulting in extremly fast page loads, correct display in all browsers & handhelds. I hope you like the efforts and let me know what you think from my Contact page.
