Overview

Adobe Dreamweaver (formerly Macromedia Dreamweaver) is a web development application originally created by Macromedia, and is now developed by Adobe Systems, which acquired Macromedia in 2005.

Dreamweaver is available for both Mac and Windows operating systems. Recent versions have incorporated support for web technologies such as CSS, Javascript, and various server-side scripting languages and frameworks including ASP, ColdFusion, and PHP.

Adobe Dreamweaver allows users to use a hybrid of web languages and visual design to create and modify websites.

WARNING: If you have more than one website stored on your studentwebs each website MUST be in it's own folder.

See also Adobe® Contribute® CS4 for an authoring tool with many contributors to the web site. Dreamweaver integrates with this multi-user authoring platform.
