Since php and mysql are free, I came up with the idea of making a newbie-friendly editor based on these two things alone. I've checked some editors and they aren't nearly as newbie-friendly as they could, and should, be. Picture this: The user wants to create a database. The editor could be set up in such a way, the user simply has to go to what I will call the 'add tab', and then find the database entry. They click on the button in the add tab to add a database, which then opens a wizard. The wizard asks for the type of db (in this case, mysql). It then asks for the name. Followed by the host, username and password. At the end, it asks, "Would you like to create a table now?". If you say yes, it brings you to basically an identical wizard, which goes through the steps of naming the table columns, how many columns, varchars, etc. You could make pretty much everything equally as newbie-friendly. Through a system of wizards, drag-and-drop (like, when you 'add' a hypertext link, it attaches to the mouse and allows you to move the mouse to where you want the link to be on the page), mouse-resizing (as in, resizing a browser window by grabbing the corner of it), and other things we are all familiar with, an editor far superior to any current editor could be created. The code portion could all be done behind the scenes. The designer would only need to fill in the fields of the wizards, and put things where, how and what size they want them to be. This kind of newbie-friendly editor would be invaluable to the internet. People who know basically nothing about coding, could easily and quickly create dynamic webpages. The reason i'm posting this idea here, is because I am not going to create the editor myself. And, I think it is too good of an idea to throw away in the trash. Current editors are too complex for newbies. And they are unnecessarily complex. Something like what I describe here is the inevitable future of editors. So, cheers to the first party who makes it.
