View larger. | Dreamweaver supports and guides users as their skills grow and web technologies evolve, facilitating easy and quick adoption of new technologies and methodologies. You don't need to be an advanced developer to take advantage of the many industry-leading features of Dreamweaver 8. Adding Flash Video, for instance, is a cinch. In fact, you can add Flash Video to any site with fewer than five clicks of a mouse. Simply point Dreamweaver to any Flash Video file, select the playback controls to surface on the page, and get rolling. The unified CSS panel provides a powerful and easy way to understand the cascade of styles applied to content, as well as quick access to making changes without having to navigate a lot of code through trial and error. Working with XML is also simplified considerably. And with access to over three million Dreamweaver developers, the Dreamweaver community can provide you with invaluable benefits, including the Macromedia Developer Center, developer certification programs, training and seminars, user forums, and independent community support sites. More than 800 free downloadable extensions are available through the Macromedia Dreamweaver Exchange. New and Enhanced Features
New features and optimized workflows reduce the time required to complete common development tasks. Dreamweaver 8 does for XML and XSLT what Dreamweaver 1 did for HTML. Simply point any page to an XML file or a URL of an XML feed, and Dreamweaver will introspect it to enable dragging and dropping the appropriate fields onto the page. From there, pop into code view to work with improved code hinting support for XML and XSLT, and take advantage of the new XML and XSLT reference content. Dreamweaver 8 also takes CSS-based design to the next level. The new, unified CSS panel makes complex CSS simple. In fact, you can learn CSS by reviewing the consolidated view and visual representation of the cascade as it applies to content for quick access and power. For working with CSS for content position, the new CSS layout visualization provides design-time visual aids to quickly and easily review page structure. The styles rendering toolbar previews how pages work with different CSS media types. For greater control over design, Dreamweaver 8 also lets you zoom in on designs to de-bug complex layouts and review images. Use guides to accurately position content on pages to improve the accuracy between comps and finished product. And when you need to focus on a single piece of code, you can stay focused by selectively collapsing and expanding sections of code by selection or by tag with code collapse.

 Great choice April 8, 2008
Arthur Howard (Eastern Mass.)
I upgraded from a much earlier version. This one runs just fine on my new iMac with Leopard. It is easy to use and powerful. I am getting ready to upgrade again to the CS3 version soon.
good ide for web development December 30, 2007
you are not alone

If you are familar with the Macromedia line of products then this one is not a surprise -- it's a good ide. This version comes with support with most of the web programming languages out there -- including xsl stylesheets. The application loads quickly with rare crashes, has standard and secure ftp support, database connectivity tools, and common web elements. Using it just for code editing is also great.
I would suggest buying a suite that includes this one versus purchasing it
solely.
 Dreamweaver Is Helpful For Amateurs June 13, 2007
Kelly (Pittsburgh, PA USA)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
For an amateur in web design, Dreamweaver 8 helped me along without having to learn all the numerous coding that goes into creating a webpage. I would have liked if the program had basic templates available to use, at least for the layout of the page. Perhaps it does and I just haven't been able to figure it out. It is hard to create fancy designs if you aren't a web design professional, so the page I've been working on thus far is pretty basic and not very flashy. Other than that, the software is very easy to learn and I enjoy using it.
Excellent Product May 7, 2007

Face it. If you want the best Web design software, get Dreamweaver. Sure there are other products that will do the job, but you will not find one that does so much, is so easy to use, and has so much support available in terms of books and Web forums. When I say it is easy to use, I am talking about knowing how to use it and then using it correctly, of course. You can do a little or a lot, depending how much effort you want to put into learning it. For Web design, this program is tops. Now that Adobe owns it, it will continue to get better.
After 30 minutes, I'm ready to uninstall GoLive! April 6, 2007

I'm an amateur at website design/building, so understand that I'm not very "deep" in Dreamweaver's abilities. However, I got the program to switch from Adobe GoLive CS2 which had many quirks, bugs, and frustrations. (One example - while you upload your changed files to the web server in GoLive, you can't do anything else in the program. Single tasking!?!?!) After just 30 minutes or so of working with Dreamweaver to update my site, I'm already sure I've made the right decision! I have a long way to go in learning what it can do, but my first impressions of the product are excellent.
