Overview:

Adobe Dreamweaver is a software application that allows you to create and develop Web sites. Dreamweaver is considered WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get), meaning that when you format your Web page, you see the results of the formatting instead of the mark-ups that are used for formatting. HTML is not WYSIWYG, whereas Microsoft Word is WYSIWYG. However, Dreamweaver allows you to hand code HTML as well. Dreamweaver also supports CSS and JavaScript as well as other languages including ASP and PHP. Dreamweaver makes it easy to upload your entire Website to a Web server. You can also preview your site locally. Dreamweaver also lets you create templates for your Web site that you can use again and again by modifying certain unrestricted areas within the template. Then if you want to change one particular part of your Web site (the logo changes, a main link changes), you only have to modify the template for the changes to propagate throughout your Web site. Dreamweaver is fairly complex software. In this lab we will be getting a basic introduction to this software package. .
