Frontpage is excellent development tool. But there are a couple of limitations that can make web development really annoying.
Not until i realised frontpage has some problem with php. Frontpage can really frustrate your development
efforts when it comes to php.For every other work, i think it;s good.
So for me , i still use both.

Hmmm, what does the term mature being used in this context mean? That it's been around longer than Dreamweaver, or that it's being used by older people?

Think well get ur dictionary.At last u will know what i mean.

@brushparke what about perl, cfml, ruby on rails, jsp? frontpage is not it at all...

I was reading a book on HTML recently and it says frontpage is ok but don't compare to 'dreamwaever' or 'go...' (the adobe one, can't remember d name). so let no one say it's matured or whatever. what else can be matured if not what is advanced? dreamweaver is for advanced users!

I loveeeeeeeeeeeee Dreamweaver! I am forced to learn it (programming) to a certain extent so.....gotta love it (NOT!)

i love tha 2.

I prefer Dreamweaver, but runs "unexcusably" slow as compared to FrontPage. For professional development, DW is d obvious choice, with support for server extensions and the like. But when I need to mock up a page real fast, i use FP. It runs faster.

And I have used both on PIII and PIV, so i think i kow what ma saying

i agree

Hey who's gonna teach me PHP?,i still know da topic oh.

ok!!!! we get it already.
Personally i aint used fp in 5 years,
it was way to regular and couldnt expand on my visions so i guess i cant make an objective classification on its weaknesses.

Truth be told, on any level DW rocks, and if u cant feel that cos u is afraid of a little learning then , PELE!!!
besides which its seamless integration with real web development tools and not stuff like word or excel seem to carry more weight with me. but as i always say
"who made me judge"
DW 4 life

Mike, you suggested my checking up a dictionary to know what you mean by FrontPage "is more mature men."? Really, I know what the word mature means, but I can't imagine what anyone would mean by saying an application is more mature. Can you please explain that? I'm really confused there, honestly.

so all ofyou just denied frontpage like that

ok frontpage i will support you!!



FRONTPAGE IS THE BEST JO!

















BEFORE THE ADOBE MACROMEDIA MERGER,
, DREAMWEAVER RULED !!

NOW,
IT STILL RULES

A great degree of diverging interest there, I just might add. Are you in for DW or FP? Or rather, based on your usage of both apps, which does the job for you?

FRONTPAGE IS THE WAY,THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE

I am a new menber of this forum , but i hv more interest in programming because is what i hv chosen to do.
In wed design, I USE notepad because i like writing codes , cool page and front page together and it gives me what i want.
I belive GOD my software will be published and urge i everybody to anchor on writing codes not wizards that is what programming is all about.

don't tell me you don't use any software to preview your work i sorry for you ooooooooooooooo

There was a time, at least in the atlanta - USA area, that even mentioning frontpage on ur cv/resume wouldn't not even get you an interview

I personally prefer neither. I want something that gives me *total* control - doesn't add fluff that I may not need, takes a long time to load up cos of all the widgets, some of which you may not even use. That means "down and dirty" notepad or Macromedia homesite. Yeah, I know, I am old school, but hey, it works for me

If I had a gun to my head though, I would go for dreamweaver. What I like in particular is the preview which lets you click on a part of a page you are working on and it automatically takes you to the line of code in the source file.

@topic,

Dreamweaver is good, you learn more about web design using dreamweaver. Frontpage, what's that?

ouch u are makin me feel dumb.i use front page never tried dreamweaver.i thjink i should re think

I am sure it cd b argued either way, but this article sums it up nicely. I cdnt have said it better myself

Basically dreamweaver vs frontpage is like wheat and chaff. Thatz my 2 cents anyway:

Enjoy!!

Ok, I have to eat humble pie and accept Dreamweaver as the king of wysiwyg.
Just switched to Dreamweaver recently and I must say, it's a great software for that purpose.

BTW, anyone used Nvu successfully?

Thanks for sharing Much help information I am not an old user of Dreamweaver but I like it, I think its easy for me and simply I love it.
Thanks

yea! yea! yea!, this is not supposed to b a debate cos it is just obvious dat dreamweaver is FAR FAR FAR(with the capital letter) more advance than Microsoft frontpage, Nice thread though. aaaaaaaaaam


PLS IS THERE ANY .NET WEB PROGRAMMER HERE. WE NEED TO TALK ASAP, PLS HIT ME UP 08028292374 08039558664. I HAVE GOT A JOB 4 U,

Dreamweaver is definitely better but i do not us eit as it puts so much garbage in the code. When i do have to use it for design, i have to do a manual clean up. Half of the generated tags are usually unneccessary.

I am an old school programmer and raw coding rocks

Bleep frotpage maybe wha we ned is frontpage 2050
