Looking back at this at the brink of CS4 being released, it’s interesting to see that most of these points were *not* answered in CS3, but will be answered in CS4. The beta of Dw CS4 includes practically every one of these improvements, albeit, the JS library integration still needs an extension or two…

DW CS3 was very dissapointing as well. Much more impressed with Panic’s new Coda program. Check it out here: http://www.panic.com/coda. Mac only by the way

Hi Adam,
Thanks for visiting… by Ajax I mean: Asynchronous Javascript And XML… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_%28programming%29

And, using tables for your layout’s design needs is a definite no-no in today’s webdesign world, but once was considered the norm (1995-2002/3 or so.)

The use of Dreamweaver is *okay* for webdesigners, but is in no way a substitute for proper learning of webdesign (HTML/CSS) using standards.

Hey I’m a newbie to web designing (i’m 13) and want to do it when i’m older and i’ve been using dreamweaver for about 6 months. By ajax do you mean the programming the youtube player users. Dreamweaver is a great app though but whats the point in using tables. By the way the site i have linked is the first site i’ve really put any time into and its still under construction.

I think all these points are very valid but I would also like to Dreamwever to keep track of my own JS methods, objects and properties etc so they appear as you start to type in the same way all the other tags do.

Aptana does this very indeed and also has all the standard JS methods built in, this would really speed up development for JS. It misses all the other features I like about Dreamweaver though. I also think better XSLT development would be a big boost. I actually find writing code in dreamweaver very fast for HTML, CSS and XSL but the performace on large documents is shocking.

If it going to work as a proper JS IDE then I would have thought it will need to integrated with a browser.

Really, a focus on web standards. Reading Eric Meyer and Jeffrey Zledman’s books are a must… for learning HTML, I really like Craig Grannell’s book “Web Designer’s Reference”.

Once you have the basics down for that, you should choose a focus on where in the industry do you want to go? Content management? Multimedia Delivery? ECommerce? etc…

Thanks for sharing your extensive experience. For newbies, how would you suggest to most efficiently get up to speed designing websites? Focus on Web2.0 DB apps, Dreamweaver, business models for self employment?
