CuteFTP

Personnally, I bought "the idiots guide once" and it came with a CD which had dreamweaver and a few other things I might use. And in it there was one program I love myself. Now, granted, I use Photoshop7.0.1 a ton but as far as a FTP and a good editor that colorcodes everything and works easily, I prefer CuteFTP. It is bundled software which has the FTP and the editior built right in but seperate. If anyone would like to try it, you can yahoo messege me at warbishop. And I'll give it to you, its freeware.

But dreamweaver is cool too, but as far as an editor, you cant beat CuteFTP for freeware I believe.

IMHO, it doesn't really matter.

If you have skills in any of the following: HTML, CSS, XML, XSL, JS, PHP, .NET, ASPX, plus one or more graphic editors then it's the cook who decides how good the website is gonna be, not the kitchen.

The best combination of softwares to design a good websites are Photopshop, Dreamwearver, fireworks, flash thats what i think, different people have different views according to what they are master in. so you just see which one you can use eaisly
In web designing you need to do different tasks in different softwares like

u can make intro's in flash
layout in photoshop
slicing in fireworks or photoshop
and at the end optimizing the layout in Dearmweaver

try it out thats easy

Hope you're the same one from PHPDN. Nay here. Anyhow, I've gone on a hunt from using FrontPage to Editpad to DreamWeaver and all sorts of editors and for me the best is still Zend Studio. Well, I code PHP a lot more than anything so Zend just rocks.

shortly before the crash i talked to someone from here that found the dev net. you're right. it is the same one.

and xemacs has a validator and a bunch of templates... i've started using the validator because it actually was able to validate all html displays for a php script =o)

i haven't used zend studio, but considering it was made for php, i'd be suprised if it wasn't the best for php. i use xemacs/emacs as a result of a need for versatility (ie: i program/script with a number of languages, therefore it's easier to have one that's strong and good with all of them than several that excel at just one)

Homesite 5

I've tried quite a few and always end up using Homesite.

Hehe...I've got to agree that Dreamweaver is certainly the way to go...I started out on Publisher , no seriously! I now code by hand but I have Dreamweaver to use as a sort of backup or tool. What I'd recommend is learn to code by hand. If you do that then you can use anything...then once you're confident enough with hand-coding move to something like Dreamweaver. Or you can do what I did and that was I looked at other people's source code and I worked out what was doing what. It may take time but I have a pretty good HTML knowledge.

Before you go and choose a program you want to use, we need to know what type of site you are trying to develop. Also choosing a program depends on the complexity of the site, is it simplex or very complex? I recommend using Dreamweaver for you if you are not very familiar with web design its a great program and simple to use. Hope that helps.

Thanks,

Ill put in a good word for Netscape Composer... You can thrash Netscape all you want but Composer is still pretty good and very easy to understand.

Please dont hurt me!

I've found the EditPlus is a good editor. It's easy to preview and the snytax coloring is great. They have a download for the 4.01 Syntax Coloring which is awesome. PHP syntax coloring is also availble (as is just about anything else).

I'm checking out Mozilla's built in Composer program later. It looks nice from first looks. We'll see.

EDIT: So it sucks IMO.
