Dev Program Like Dreamweaver?

[XcapeX]

Are there any development programs like Dreamweaver for free? My trial ran out..

 

[Puma]

I don't know. But you could do it the old fashioned way and do coding. Which is what I prefer.

Or just download another trial from Adobe.

Puma, well thats the point of trials to get you to purchase the product lol. I'd just go with standard programming (PHP, ASP, HTML, etc..).

Like Puma said, just do it the old fashion way and code everything. Coding shows true skill. Dreamweaver just makes everything look stunning.

Now I know you want it to look stunning but why not make it look stunning by coding it all in.

Because I don't want to spend a long time doing that. I'd rather just see it. I didn't ask for people to tell me to code, I asked for programs that are like DW.

A little to the side, but: I write all my dynamic code in Dreamweaver and really don't use the design elements that much. It's a nice text editor to have multiple windows open, and it's FTP & database panels are extremely helpful. My favorite feature (the reason I've stuck with Dreamweaver) is that it will upload your file to your server upon saving, however I'm sure if you're into the level of my projects, I could probably be pushing them out with GitHub.

What I probably think of Dreamweaver is that it is a bit complicated at first but once you get the hang of it, it's super duper easy. And to answer your question, an alternative for Dreamweaver is Microsoft Expression Web. Good luck!

What you are looking for is a WYSIWYG program.

Assuming you are using windows here are three great free ones.

Seamonkey - http://www.seamonkey-project.org/

Kompozer - http://kompozer.net/

Page Breeze - http://www.pagebreeze.com/

Same. I love Dreamweavers interface and the FTP windows, and code in Dreamweaver a lot without using any of the design elements. It's nice to be able to switch between code view and design view after you change something too.

But another program like Dreamweaver is Coffeecup: http://www.coffeecup.com/

They're literally hundreds of WYSIWYG editors, just Google it

Can't believe no one has mentioned http://www.notepad-plus-plus.org or www.panic.com/coda/ .

Those are what I use 24/7! Way better than DW IMO.

Coda is for Mac users only.

Coda is for Mac users only.

And? :shrug:
Great software for a great OS. I was just posting two great alternatives to DW.

 

[tech4talk]

I use notepad++ a lot as well! Free and great!

I heard Mac users (ick!) also love Textmate. A great alternative to Textmate on Windows is E-Text Editor (http://www.e-texteditor.com/)

 

[Branden]

I change my input to N++. It works really well.

Also a newer program on the block that is super sleek looking and works decently is Sublime text:

I have used DW, Aptana Studio, and text-mate. Right now, I like Aptana. Coda for OSX, is also very nice if you use Mac.
