Preface
Websites evolve every year, growing in scope, capability, and complexity, making them look and work ever better over time. Even people with personal sites use a collection of computer languages and server technologies to dish up their content.
Throughout its history, Dreamweaver has kept pace with the changing web-development landscape, and Adobe’s latest offering, Dreamweaver CC (Creative Cloud) 2014, is no exception—it does more than any previous version of the program. Whether you want to use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for cutting-edge site design, include audio and video, create JavaScript-powered dynamic pages, incorporate HTML5, build websites for mobile devices, use content management systems like WordPress or Drupal, or simply stick to straightforward HTML, Dreamweaver has just about all the tools you need.
Any enterprising designer can create web pages, Cascading Style Sheets, and even JavaScript programs using just a simple text editor. However, typing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code is not only a recipe for carpal tunnel syndrome; it’s also a slow and typo-prone way to build web pages. Dreamweaver provides buttons, dialog boxes, and panels that let you build web pages quickly, with fewer keystrokes. For example, in a matter of seconds, a simple button lets you insert the complex HTML required to insert a video into your web page. And Dreamweaver is flexible enough to let you hand-code pages and use time-saving HTML shortcuts in tandem—the choice is yours.
