ok quick question what program do you use to make your website or do you use bare html, php ect...?
ok quick question what program do you use to make your website or do you use bare html, php ect...?
First off, programs are for nubs lolmao (JK),
I personally use notepad.exe FTW
But some like to use DreamWeaver for there html sites
And for php you really have to revert to using notepad since DreamWeaver cant interpret PHP
for ASP I use microsoft Wed Developer (I think thats the name, lol)
for Java Applet Scripting I use JCreator
and Finally for my http server I use apache
WoW, I needed that also. Well Java part. +Rep
Html = Very easy, you can easily use a program for that cause it's just a waste of time to make that all yourself. Well the more advanced stuff like php you have to write yourself, i'm sure there are some programs for that to do some little stuff but they suck, if you want to make some cool php stuff you got to do it yourself.
I use PSPad
@Trippy000: an editor to that shows some colors in your programmings are usefull, if make bugs with quotemarks in your programming than you can easly see where they are. Every programmer make failures, but with some code highlighters most of those can be correted while writing it.
On top of that, if you want to validate your HTML an CCS on a div layerd site then I'll recomend a programm that do that for you instead of making your eyes bleed on the massiv text and files wall from the site you made.
If you increase your skills, there would be no way around the code highlighter editors.

dreamweaver for Html!
I use UltraEdit :P
notepad2 is also good (moslty for PHP)
Notepad++ for the win
WYSIWYG editors add sooo much redundant and crap code, sometimes when trying to get it to properly validate is just quicker to write it by hand
But anything that is .NET I revert to an IDE and also VB 6.0
Dreamweaver hands down for HTML work. I've heard all the comments before about how horrible it is and how using a WYSIWYG editor is utter failure, but there's a code view for a reason
* Easy Snippet Access
* Lots of "how does that go again?" buttons (AKA Doctypes)
* The "sites" management is a great timesaver compared to having to have a separate FTP client open
* Spry integration has saved me quite a bit of time on things here and there, and CS4 is going to be upgrading the Spry integration even farther.
* Spellchecker (even though it sadly only does one page at a time) has been quite nice.
* The code formatting / coloring is of course nice (which you can find in other editors)
* CS4 is going to be bringing in live imagery (exact name escapes me) which lets you drop in PSDs for example, and whenever you update the PSD it'll be updated (as a proper web image) in dreamweaver.
When it comes to PHP if you're just monkeying around then you'll do fine with Dreamweaver / Notepad++ / whatever other text editor you want. If you want to get more serious about your PHP work then Zend Studio Neon is an amazing tool. If you're programming with the Zend Framework it makes it that much more amazing (check it out if you haven't already, really a nice framework).
When it comes to your webserver setup XAMMP is usually fine for most people, I use a local server to do all of my testing just for the fun of it but it's not really needed.
My work with java is limited but I always found eclipse to be nice. With extensive javascript (extjs for example) I like to use Aptana but that's just personal preference really.
Now for the real editors I use.
Simple Web Editing (HTML, PHP, BASH, etc): UltraEdit. (It's a great IDE for simple languages, and supports a browser view of the documents. Syntax highlighting and code folding gives it a huge plus, as well as the ability to automatically upload via FTP whenever you save the document.)
In depth editing:
HTML: DreamWeaver _sometimes_. The only time I really use DreamWeaver is when I'm building CSS, since the automatic CSS building makes it really easy. (Point and click to build CSS files)
PHP: Zend Studio. Hands down the best PHP IDE available. It's a bit of a bulky install, but the IDE in general is almost up to par with Visual Studio's capabilities. (Although, it's mainly only for PHP, and doesn't support much in the way of non-web based languages)
ASP(.NET): Visual Studio. (Any version of 2008, I use VS 2k8 Team Suite). This is one of about 3 things Microsoft has ever done right. (.NET, C#, and Visual Studio) It has it's own server host, so you can literally hit debug and go test what you're working on. Not to mention it has a WYSIWYG as well as a code view. Plus, hey, you have the benefit of C#/VB.NET to let you do just about anything you want.
JavaScript: Depends on what language I'm working in, if it's ASP.NET, then I just use Microsoft's in house editor within VS. Otherwise I do it by hand using the WebDeveloper add-on for Firefox. (Amazing little tool)
For my server, it depends on the language really. If it's ASP, I opt for IIS if possible, otherwise I go for Mono for Apache. Everything else is pretty much Apache. (Plain Apache, no silly off-shoots)
is there any other way too create html that isn“t notepad?![]()
Dreamweaver html ftw!
and notepad for other stuff
im useing dreamweaver atm because im geting tired if writing everything in :@ now i have just got increadibly lazy and just got vb and vba(homepage like mmowned) simple and easy to use then you can just link stuff off but i myt have to check out that Zend Studio would help me alot, cheers +rep
i usually use notepad and notepad++.
notepad++ colors the words i write into it and teh programming become easier
