Dreamweaver Walk-Through
Overview

by Taylor

Taylor [an error occurred while processing this directive]is a Webmonkey contributing editor and a mild-mannered technologist who freelances for Web design firms across the Net. Even though he's never been photographed or seen with Captain Cursor, he insists that they are indeed two separate people.


WYSIWYG editors (for What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get) let you make Web pages in an easy drag-and-drop fashion. But these editors can generate code that is good, bad, and ugly - with most leaning toward the hideous side of the spectrum.

At the very least, Macromedia's Dreamweaver makes basic HTML a little easier, writes clean code, and has an elegant interface. But Dreamweaver doesn't stop there - it ventures into heavy-duty territory with its tools for creating cascading stylesheets, dynamic HTML, and JavaScript.

Taylor took a journey to the center of the Dream and reports on where it cuts a rug or just unravels in this two-part test drive.

Note: This tutorial gives you an excellent overview of Dreamweaver in general. You should also check out Webmonkey's review of Dreamweaver 4 for the nitty-gritty details of the latest release.
