Interesting.

I just fell into the IT field a couple of years ago and decided to go back to school for web development because that seemed the most interesting to me.

My school uses Crimson Editor and now we are just starting to use Dreamweaver. I started carrying around Notepad++ on my thumbdrive so I could use it because I wanted something consistent at work and home... and I prefer Notepad++ to Crimson Editor

I started seeing the text replacement and shortcuts of Dreamweaver and I was thinking of switching over to coding by hand in Dreamweaver because of those shortcuts. Then I saw Dreamweaver CS5 has CMS support for Drupal. That seals the deal for me since I'm currently building some Drupal sites for my side businesses. I'm having some problems, but I'm learning a great deal.

Either way, I set on coding by hand because I'm still learning and want to be more than just competent (i.e. want to make sure the code is clean and to be able to actually troubleshoot issues.)

Sort of deprecated. You can just use a graphical interface, now days, to drag and drop elements.
I never liked that graphical drag and drop bullshit.


Real web developers don't use WYSIWYG/drag and drop IDE's, more hassle than they're worth when you know what you need to build.

This is kinda neat, but tbh, the good IDE's have prediction/completion on elements anyway, it seems like an effort to learn a whole and correctly type a new syntax to describe sets of elements.

@Sylvester_Ink: OMFG, wonderful. Thanks for that beautiful link. This is a happy, happy day.

agreed. and learning some obscure syntax (simply used to shortcut work) will actually be counter-productive for those these types of tools are targetted at: new developers.

regardless, i commend the work put into the application.

my tip: understand that HTML is simply a way to "mark-up" the document, and all else becomes simple.
