I use Dreamweaver MX 2004 for the HTML Part (Im a lazy HTML hand-coder ), Photoshop CS for my Graphics and Zend's PHP Studio for my PHP Coding. This is the best combination for me so far...

Hey mhykhh,You are very right. This combination works well for me as well. This is a gr8 combination. I also use Corel Draw for my graphics as I'm a big vector fan. But obviously Photoshop is one of the very best tools availaible these days and one should definitely go for it.To me your whole combination looks cool, professional and pretty relieble.Bye,Bigyan

bbEdit looks brilliant. But I'm on a Windows machine. Bugger.For my graphics I mostly use PSP7, although I'm seriously thinking about getting PhotoShop - even if it's just an older version of eBay. I'm pretty crap at graphics though, and I always find it really hard thinking of an original colour scheme and "look" for my site.

you know, you probably don't need all the stuff that a full version of photoshop can do. Photoshop elements is much much cheaper and does basically everything relevant. Check out the different feature sets and then decide if you need to shell out the extra money. I believe the wacom tablets come with a free copy, but that might only be the more expenive tablets like the intuos(which is what I bought). If the graphire tablets come with elements, then go buy a 4x5 graphire tablet. It only costs 100 dollars, and elements costs nearly that much, so its a much better deal.

Talking about graphics, how about the GIMP, it has almost the same stuff like Photoshop, is free and open source :PAnd for site building it's VIM for me

I use notepad and an open browser, then just ALT+TAB back and forth. It works well and I have tried Front Page and other WYSIWYG editors, but always go back to notepad. 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

i use Adobe Photoshop for Layout (Also called as Template ) designing, MS FrontPage for HTML Page Designi and editing, FLASH for Animation Part, Then What else

 

Cheers

I use 1st page (put out by Eversoft), and notepad, but would also like to try Dreamweaver. I also like the convience of having it displayed right in front of me.. but will use notepad if I am not at my computer. I have tried front page, but didn't care much for it.

Yeah jipman,I agree with u fully. GIMP is one of the very best Graphics Tools availaible currently and like Photoshop, once you get the knack of it, u find it easy. Moreover it has a gr8 fan following too.About VIM, nothings like it, except for Emacs. VIM changed my ideas of a simple plaintext word processor (yeah VIM in my opinion counts as a word processor and not only as a text editor). But Emacs simply rocks ...... but only after anybody has taken the trouble to learn its obscure commands by heart !! But indeed, after you learn it, it's really a powertool.Bye,Bigyan

I like AceHtmlPro:learned on 4, am using 5, and look forward to purchase the upgrade to 6It writes quick clean code with tremendous documentation and references for HTML, Javascript, CSS, and SSI a click away. A great tool for those who like to learn on the fly. I use CoffeeCup Firestarter to write flash, btnMaker for quick buttons, and Anfy Java TM for enhancements.

I got very annoyed with Frontpage Express thats why I use Notepad, I also heard that Dreamweaver thingy is very good. Can someone give me a reason to buy it?

[jipman 0]

There's no reason to BUY any html page editor thingy, dreamweaver is just like frontpage but a little better. But on the long run, text-editor-webmasters will excel over the GUI-web's because GUI is limited in functions. I could do a few things with tables in VIM / notepad that you can't do in dreamweaver or frontpage.BUT, GUI-interfaces are indeed usefull if you just start learning html.

notepad for the basics is the best solution you can possibly have to fix, edit o extend html code...even php....And betwen frontpage and dreamweaver... deramweaver is way better... but i prefer frontpage.. cuase it's really simple!!!!!but, jipman it's right... there are i whole lot of freeware that well used can do wonders..
