john_aa Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hey guys wondering, if you are using Adobe CS3 and do you think, if there are other alternatives to CS3. Would you recommend CS3 or wait for something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkerAngel Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Oum, I don't mean to be rude, (or maybe I do) but has this anything to do with PHP? If your talking about Dreamweaver CS3, Yes, I use it, but since my laptop is down, and My Desktop = Dino, I'm still using Dreamweaver MX 2004, which is still pretty good. And even if you are talking about Dreamweaver, this is still the wrong section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsider Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Dreamweaver CS3? Made by Adobe? And jEdit is also another editor that is nice, but I use it for FTP attributes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psquillace Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I am using DW CS3 on my mac but if you are using a PC i would suggest UltraEdit which is pretty cool. I have used that on my pc for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamez Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Well back in the day it started out from some company, and they named the program Jungle Beat. Then Macromedia bought them out, and name it dreamweaver, then Adobe bought out Macromedia, and replaced Adobe Livewire or something like what with Dreamweaver. I love Dreamweaver, I have the older version (Dreamweaver it was before adobe bought Macromedia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcombs_31 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I think everything in Creative Suite 3 is top notch. It is a great set of software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Little Guy Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Dreamweaver = pointless (for a programmer) The only web CS(2/3) Tools I would use are: - Flash - PhotoShop If your not too familiar with these, and don't know what the new features are and whether or not they will benefit you, then I would do the last version and not the newest version.

How can you justify saying dreamweaver is pointless? You may not have noticed, but there is a code view for programmers. The autocomplete and syntax highlighting work great for html, php, javascript, etc... There are many nice features that help cut down coding time.

Or download the trial versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel0 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I find Notepad++ quite annoying. You'll have to explicitly select "PHP File" from the drop down menu on the save as dialog in order to be able to use the .php extension. Otherwise it'll override the extension and make it .txt instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
