When talking about web site creation, the two programs that stand out
are Adobe's Dreamweaver and Microsoft's Visual Studio and someone
eventually will ask which one is the better program for what they
need. The obvious issue that comes to mind before even opening the box
is that Visual Studio is a Microsoft creation.
Anyone that has any experience with computers and their programs knows
that Microsoft hardware and software plays better with other Microsoft
toys. This is not to bash on Microsoft but if you are not using any
Microsoft applications then this maybe a turning point for you. Many
people are using Apple hardware when they have intensive graphic
needs, so you might want a program that plays well with any platform,
including Microsoft's.
For any first timers, Visual Studio is easy to use with its many
examples and help section. Via drag and drop interface, there is total
control over servers and the HTML servers, as well. An easy to read
and navigate control panel displays all your server controls. These
are some of the highlights of what the Visual Studio can do for you.
Do you need to create and manage console applications, window
applications and web applications? Visual Studio is designed to make
this easy for you. Many users have noticed that Dreamweaver is better
utilized in web design and that Visual studio is better to use for web
development.
Adobe's Dreamweaver is more concentrated on web design than web
development. Dreamweaver works with almost all of the computer
languages and can interface with java script effortlessly with its
built in extensions. Actually there over 1300 extensions available for
whatever you may need. Dreamweaver was created with idea of teams of
people working on the same project, so teamwork on the same project
will be a breeze. Teamwork is possible with Visual Studio when used in
tandem with other Microsoft products.
For users of other Abode products, tables and layers are nothing
foreign to you and you probably expect to use them with just about any
Adobe program. Dreamweaver is no exception. Also there are tools
included with the program to manage database connectivity.
You will pay a little less for Visual Studio than you will for
Dreamweaver. However do not go too far with the money that you just
saved with Dreamweaver because most of the extensions will cost you
extra. Both programs can take up the disk space but most know that
Adobe tends to always be a heavy hitter, so consider doubling the
minimum system requirements to ensure that your computer does not slow
to a crawl.
If Visual Studio is more of a web development program and Dreamweaver
is more of a web design program, then can they fairly be compared to
each other? It comes down to the types of application that you need
the most.
