adobe dreamweaver Vs. Macromedia dreamweaver

jahphill · Oct 25th, 2007, 01:15

I have no idea =D
Trying to figure which to buy.

Which do you guys think is best and why?

Monie · Oct 25th, 2007, 03:34

Of course the newest one will be better (a lot of new features)
not yet using it but I saw the product info in adobe

I agree with monie, but if price is a real problem and you can get M-DW for a cheaper price, get it instead.
Not that much difference.. it's a lot shiner

Well... The main difference between them is nothing too dramatic except one has Adobe at the start and one has Macromedia at the start.

The main difference i have seen between both is the Adobe version is alot shinier.

I have macromedia DW and I tested Adobe Dreamweaver......different package..same program.... Oh, and Adobe bought Macromedia, so new version of old program would be shinier, I guess....lol

More SHINE == More RAM

Thankyou for replies.

Heh, ram is no problem, i have built a new beast =D weee its faster than my head.

Price.. well my saying is 'you buy cheap, you buy twice'

Well, at the moment, it sounds like adobe cs3 is the best option..?

Look into purchasing the Creative Suite 3 from adobe. You'll save alot of money ... especially if you want to get DW, PS and Illustrator or Flash later on ....

My dad had to pay £700 or there abouts for CS3

jahphill · Oct 27th, 2007, 14:02

Right so i bought CS3 :P
I don't know, i guess i'm to much of an a amature to find it all that great.
Anyone have good tutorial sites for it? or resources (if there is any)?

Back on topic now.
Adobe dreamweaver would be the way to go, there's no point buying an old version unless it's a lot cheaper, in which go ahead!
