Any Dreamweavers here?...

[Squad Leader]

unfortunately i've had to get a new computer recently so i switched to the darkside as i've had nothing but trouble with all the pcs i've had in the past.

The problem is my old Fusion software doesn't run on it so im going to use Dreamweaver and was wondering if anybody here uses it (Baron maybe?) and knows of any good tutorial sites, books or dvds for a complete beginner, because as a famous reclusive ginger singer once sang "its all greek to me"

I do use Dreamweaver, and I absolutely love it. Sadly I'm completely self-taught - but I found it extremely smooth to use and soon got the hang of it.

A quick google yielded this: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/?promoid=DRHWV

I found it pretty easy to get into when I used it - again it was all self taught from just messing arounf with it...

cheers guys, thanks for that link Baron looks like that should give me the basics to get going. the other software i was using was very mickey mouse compared to this, i don't suppose you know if you can import the website that you own from online into it to work with do you?

I expect so, it has an FTP component - but I wouldn't know how.

Haven't worked with dreamweaver for ages, but I remember that was possible.

You edit your site offline and the online version is updated on the fly. No need to do separate FTP-ing, it's all in one.

How come you don't have your files offline available?

it was different software i was using before and a different computer, i do have a backup of the site from the old software but im not sure if its compatible with dreamweaver, fingers crossed i will get a bit of time this weekend to see if i can work it out

Your website should be just standard html files shouldn't it? Or ASP or CFM or whatever. Either way dreamweaver will be able to edit it.

Hand coding FTW! (I loathe dreamweaver!)

Word up! The best HTML-editor ever is notepad.exe!

...if you already know HTML...

Colour coding is VERY useful!
