Softpedia Editor's Review for Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5
|
New features help teams and individual developers alike reach the next level in performance and functionality
Written by Elena Opris on October 31st, 2011
If you haven't already heard about Adobe Dreamweaver, then you can't really call yourself a web developer. You'd better start learning it if you wish to have an easier time managing your work.
Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5 is a web design tool that you can use to easily create web-pages (from the design or coding perspective), or correct your already completed work.
Dreamweaver has been a favorite software of web designers ever since Adobe has acquired Macromedia, improving their products.
To get the technical details out of the way, know that Dreamweaver is a complex software. Installing it will probably take more time than you are used to, and CPU memory will be heavily used whenever Dreamweaver is active, so don't think about running other processes in the same time.
In addition, if you don't already have some coding skills, then you'll probably have to go back to basics before using Dreamweaver (although tutorials for beginners can be found all over the internet).
Dreamweaver has a few interesting features up its sleeve, including autocomplete, code highlighting (with the best picked colors), the possibility to connect to a FTP, edit and re-upload files without using a FTP client, the possibility of creating projects to easily edit multiple files, as well as a nice search and replace feature - including regex (regular expressions) search, and "find in file".
The Code/Split/Design modes are similar to the ones found in Microsoft Visual Studio.
So, if you are serious about becoming a professional programmer or designer, then install Dreamweaver on your computer and start learning its tips and tricks.

Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5 description
|
Here are some key features of "Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5":
Live View:
· View your web pages under real-world browser conditions with the new Live View in Dreamweaver - while still retaining direct access to the code. The new rendering mode, which uses the open source rendering engine WebKit, displays your designs like a standards-based browser.
Related Files:
· Manage the various files that make up the modern web page more efficiently in Dreamweaver. The Related Files feature displays all the documents associated with your current page, whether CSS, JavaScript, PHP, or XML, in a bar along the top of your document.
Code Navigator:
· The new Code Navigator pop-up window shows you all the code sources that affect your current selection. A click in either Code or Design view brings up the Code Navigator pop-up, which displays CSS rules, server-side includes, external JavaScript functions, Dreamweaver templates, Library files, iframe source files, and more.
CSS best practices:
· The Property inspector's new CSS tab shows the styles for the current selection as well as all the applicable CSS rules. Hover over any property to view a tool tip with jargon-free English explanations of CSS principles. New CSS rules can be created and applied in the Property inspector panel and stored in the same document or an external style sheet.
Code hinting for Ajax and JavaScript frameworks:
· Write JavaScript more quickly and accurately with improved support for JavaScript core objects and primitive data types. Work with popular JavaScript frameworks including jQuery, Prototype, and Spry.
HTML data sets:
· With HTML data sets functionality, you can create your data in a standard HTML table, a series of div tags, or even an unordered list and then choose Insert > Spry > Spry Data Set to integrate that data into a dynamic table on the page with sortable columns, a master-detail layout, or other sophisticated displays.
Photoshop Smart Objects:
· Photoshop and Dreamweaver integration has evolved to the next level of compatibility and functionality. Drag and drop an Adobe Photoshop� PSD file into a Dreamweaver page to create an image Smart Object.
Subversion integration:
· Dreamweaver integrates Subversion software for a more robust check-in/check-out experience with file versioning, rollback, and more. Once you've defined Subversion as your version control system, you can update your site to get the latest versions of its pages directly from within Dreamweaver; no third-party utility or command-line interface is required.
Adobe AIR authoring support:
· Create multiplatform desktop applications from your Dreamweaver HTML and JavaScript sites with new Adobe AIR authoring support.
New user interface:
· Work faster and smarter across Dreamweaver and other components of the next version of Adobe Creative Suite thanks to a new level of integration and common user interface elements.
Requirements:
· Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon 64 processor
· RAM: 512 MB
· Hard Disk: 1 GB of free space
· 1,280 x 800 monitor resolution with 16-bit or greater video card

Limitations:
