ADOBE DREAMWEAVER CS5

ABOUT DREAMWEAVER CS5:Dreamweaver largely created the web as we know it, through its ability to create custom web pages and custom web applications. However, the nature of the web is always changing and, with the rise of server-based content management systems (CMS), there's a real possibility that the desktop-based Dreamweaver may have had its day.

To stay relevant, the first thing Dreamweaver CS5 had to do was make it simpler to start designing websites, and it makes a good start. Previously, you had to jump through a number of hoops to define a site; now, you need only set a name and directory to begin work. When you're ready to move on to the next stage - say, setting up a test server - Dreamweaver will prompt you for the additional information.
Dreamweaver CS5 has also overhauled its New Document command and it now includes a radically reworked range of CSS layouts. These not only follow modern best practice by including simplified selectors and starter code for menus, but are also full of helpful comments.
Dreamweaver's choice of CSS layouts is available whether you're creating static HTML-based pages or dynamic pages based on ASP, ColdFusion, JSP or PHP, but in this version there's a distinct emphasis on PHP. Core PHP code hinting has been dramatically improved, with on-the-fly parsing and filtering, support for objects, as well as functions and greater information in the Description pane. The latter comes complete with a direct link to the PHP.net manual page.
