Introduction

The World Wide Web continues to evolve, growing in scope and complexity, with new features popping up every year to make the Web look and work better. Even people building personal Web sites now use various programming languages and server technologies to dish up content. Throughout its history, Dreamweaver has managed to keep pace with this changing landscape with each new version.

Dreamweaver CS4 is no exception: It’s capable of doing more than any previous version. Whether you’re creating database-enabled PHP pages, adding your favorite site’s XML-based news feeds directly to your home page, using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for cutting-edge design effects, dipping into the dynamic world of JavaScript and AJAX, or simply sticking to straightforward HTML pages, Dreamweaver has just about all the tools you need.

Any enterprising designer can create Web pages, Cascading Style Sheets, and even JavaScript programs with a simple text editor. In fact, Dreamweaver CS4 provides powerful text-editing abilities for creating basic text files or complex database-driven Web pages. But why go to all that trouble when Dreamweaver’s visual page-building approach makes your job of creating beautiful and complex Web sites so much easier? Whether you’re new to building Web pages or a hard-core, hand-coding HTML jockey, Dreamweaver is a powerful tool that lets you build Web sites quickly and efficiently, without compromising the quality of your code.
