Well the day has come. Here I am working on Dreamweaver tutorials and trying to decide if the learning curve will be worth the final product.
IT'S EARLY in the game
I have read a lot about HTML and CSS and I am starting to understand how they work and why CSS is easier than what came before.
I have completed the "Check Magazine" web page tutorial that shows you how to assemble an entire web page with very detailed information and add ons about HTML and CSS.
I did a tutorial on CSS that helped me understand what a style sheet is, what an ID is, how to type the information, and a little bit about what cascading means, what a class is, and a few other bits.
I am coming from a WYSIWYG program where I did not need to know any of that.
I have not yet started on a web page using a template from Dreamweaver.
SOOOO..... I have had a nagging concern that Dreamweaver may not be able to provide the content I need...that it does not really do that- and that the I may be looking for capable programs that I can use to develop content before I can actually consider using Dreamweaver. I have downloaded some programs that appear strong, like GIMP 2, and see that there are likely others that can do a great job at a minimal expense.
Will I purchase Dreamweaver and discover that I should have purchased a web suite (very expensive)?
Is it easier than it looks to use content from other sources than Abode products?
Any thoughts would be appreciated?
