I like VS.NET for coding the code-behind / business logics ( because of the Auto-Intellisense)... but i hate it in designing the HTML, Dreamweaver is preferable in doing the task.
for me... as a beginner... i use to code in Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition Beta http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/vwd/default.aspx it has a good review on it... check it out... =) http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Longhorn/Whidbey/ASPNetWhidbeyFeatures.asp
i just use it as my Whidbey as my reference... After I coded some in Whidbey... I just give in and get back to my old and more reliable Notepad i love to code in notepad =) Ctrl-Z Sucks in notepad =P but Ctrl-F Rules!!!!!!!!!!!! =)
yeah but that is a "corn ball" version.... if your going to buy a product might as well spend the money on VS compared to Web dev express at least then you can do heaps more with vs...and if you ever need a job you can go and say you have experience with vs
instead of the toy version
Except that the express products are free, so you don't spend anything on it. Besides, upgrading from express to VS in the future won't render any of your aquired product or technology skills void; it's a linear upgrade path that will only add functionality.
The express line of products are / will be a great way for people to get started, or for hobbyists to get their family web page published without having to make a binding investment to it. From what I've seen of the products so far, I think you will get a
long way with them, and won't have to spend a year worth of allowances until you really have the need for the professional functionality.
"Except that the express products are free" I do not think so...as soon as they are out of beta testing MS will chalk a price on them.... and it depends on if you are in a development environment... because businesses will want VS not a chump version which
they still have to pay a heap of money for..... this is what aggrevates me with MS...they expect us to beta test their software for free....but do not give anything in return.....
For creating style sheets (which now dominate the creation of the visual aspects of any web page) you can not beat TopStyle especially when creating styles for multiple browsers. For style editing, VS.Net and FrontPage seem very primitive... It's fine for plain
HTML editing too - and cheap! jas
