One of the most significant changes to the latest version of Dreamweaver is the capability to build database-driven Web applications. Not only is Dreamweaver an HTML editor, but it is also an ASP, ASP.NET, JSP, ColdFusion, and PHP editor. Macromedia has essentially made Dreamweaver a one-stop Web development tool. Programs such as HomeSite, ColdFusion Studio, and UltraDev have all been incorporated into Dreamweaver MX. This easily makes Dreamweaver the most flexible, powerful tool for Web development and site management. Dreamweaver MX Unleashed has chapters on how to get started in building Web applications and lays a solid foundation on databases, SQL, and middleware. If you've never thought about building or never built a database-driven Web site, this book offers the essentials to get you up and running. This book should also help you decide which of the middleware language fits you and your project. |
