ultradev

[Atarinvader]

Albert / Alex,

 

Whats this program like to use? and would you recomend it? Also, have you had any experience developing with Cold Fusion?

[Alex]

I'm not sure if you're asking specifically about UltraDev or Dreamweaver. UltraDev is basically Dreamweaver with additional features. Anyway, it's my favorite GUI web dev tool, although these days I mainly use it for layout. Once I have a layout, I use TextPad or Homesite to write the specific code. It also supports some server models like JSP, ASP (which I've used, although I found it better to just run IIS locally), and I think Coldfusion. There is a PHP server model you can install called Impakt, but I haven't used it. I used to use it a lot more, but it's still a good tool for certain tasks.

 

I haven't developed with Coldfusion, can't help you there. Have you looked at PHP?

[Atarinvader]

Yeah, I'm looking at using PHP at Atarinvader because creating and editing so many HTML pages is getting to become a bit of a task.

 

I didn't know if to create something from scratch with UltraDev or set up and modify PHP Nuke.

 

I'm new to all this stuff, although I have worked in CGI before, so I thought UltraDev would be a good idea as I'm already using Dreamweaver.

 

Can I just download a 'upgrade' from Dreamweaver to UltraDev? and how 'user friendly' is it? i.e. are there lots of tutiorials? Can it be used to completely develope a PHP (with Impakt) and MySQL site?

 

Sorry for all the questions
