by Aaron West Of all the WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) Editors out there, Macromedia's Dreamweaver has consistently been reviewed the best. The clean code it produces as well as it's hands off approach makes it among the most popular editors for web developers. Who is this tutorial for? This tutorial will be helpful for both novices and gurus alike. Thought the gurus might wish to skip a couple of chapters. What can you expect to learn from this tutorial? You'll learn how to use Dreamweaver as a tool for creating high quality web pages. You'll also learn how to create Javascript events, Cascading Style Sheets, DHTML animations. We'll also focus a great deal on site management. What do I need to learn before I begin this tutorial? You need a good understanding of the world wide web: specifically URL's and links. You'll need to understand basic graphics, fonts and color. You'll need to understand paths, filenames and file management. What about HTML? We recommend that you have a good understanding of HTML before you attempt to tackle Dreamweaver, but we don't require it. You won't necessarily need to know how to code HTML, but it's advisable that you know what it's capable (and incapable) of. Previous experience with other WYSIWYG editors will be a plus. We have plenty of resources here on W3Nation that we will be cross-referencing, such as Graphics and HTML. Throughout this tutorial we will be using 2 kinds of visual samples: screenshots from the program and sample pages. Screenshots will sometimes be on the page and other times be linked to open in a new window. Sample pages will always be linked to open in a new window.
