Trying out Adobe Dreamweaver for the First Time in 13 Years!

I used Dreamweaver quite frequently back in the early 2000's. A subscriber asked me to do a tutorial yesterday, so I thought it might be fun to let you all watch me as I used it for the very first time in well over a decade. Enjoy!

It is very good to see that you pay attention to the comments and take them into account for upcoming videos, thus helping people and giving excellent training! Excellent, I'll keep that in mind for the next videos lol!

I am surprised how much Dreamweaver has changed so much. I haven't used it since 2004. I used Dreamweaver cs3 version. Thank you for showing this video.

I'm right there with you. I used to use PageMill back in the 90's, then Dreamweaver. I walked away for years. I came back to it and was totally lost! I made my site in Adobe Muse and then POW! Gone! Heading back to Dreamweaver.

Half your problem there with not recognising things how they used to be is that you've started off in 'developer' mode, which removes a lot of the visual aspects. The top right dropdown next to the window minimise/maximise icons is where you change it to 'standard' and then you get the 'Code | Split | Design' options come up above your working window.

Wow... memories!
Dreamweaver and FrontPage :)
Back then '98, Windows 98 Second Edition came with preinstalled FrontPage Express, and this is my first touch with Web Design and Programming! Still, 25 later Programming for the Web is one of the Most valuable skills that you can have! :)

Damn, I remember those hover effects over the buttons back on the old Frontpage tool!

I was not prepared for that music to come in lol

Press F12 to show in browser, only when you have the view on the html code, not css file

DW still has a very powerful GUI-configurable find-replace, super convenient for converting HTML

Used them all. Been using dreamweaver's code editor/live preview for about 15 years now.. it was never a wysiwyg drag and drop editor.. it had options to draw absolute divs I believe it still has but, in this 15 or whatever years I don't remember a single moment I ever had to draw anything to the screen..
I used brackets and vs code. DW has them dead to rights if you know how to use it..

What you'd call a "drag and drop" site buildier is adobe Muse..

Back at it again with another tutorial! Congrats on almost 200k subs!

Simply the fact that it opens dependancy files makes it much better than vs code also try press CTRL+E over a class or ID name. But the BIG drawback is that it's rather ressource hungry and when you work over hours with it it's getting slow (have to restart dreamweaver then)

[BlackHulkGaming]

In the CSS designer if you click show set so it’s not checked it shows all possible CSS properties that you can change rather than you having to add them yourself.

VS Code if you are doing Node/NPM. Dreamweaver if you are doing static sites, Wordpress and heavy duty CSS styling/animations. choose the best tool for the job. Sometimes its a phillips screwdriver other times is a flahead.

[defcodeOne]

VS Code has an "Open with Live Server" option (Alt + L, Alt + O), by default I'm guessing since I don't remember installing it, which renders all changes live to in browser page.

[utkarshdubey]

Oh well was expecting some classical things from you. Can you please make some videos on 3D animations with some plugins or libraries. BTW thanks for such good content!

[jamesveitch]

I used it back in the macromedia days. Moss it.

[vaibhavkumarpatel]

You have to make a small single page design in dreamweaver.It's good isn't it.Please make ones.

[tonylancer]

This Dreamweaver reminds me of Brackets because honestly, they look the same.

How long was it before he realised he was in the developer workspace
