Page 2 - FrontPage: Your Say!

good stuff, i always tell people to back up but have only recently started doing it myslef i just backup to my server now, so i have it in two locations. I should really put the important stuff on disk too !!!

never used those programs, never intend to use. it's like riding bicycle with engine, like little kids do. it's good until you can ride on your own.

So what do you use Shadow? Notepad??? You use VS and Sourcesafe don't you?

Notepad for classic ASP, html and javascript.
VS for .NET - SourceSafe is not relevant in this case, it's not Development Tool it's just used to store the code and share it safely between the programmers.

I learn't C programming a few years ago, and it was hard, and i had a tutor (college thingy).
I use frontpage at the moment, only for this one site because i find it deals with frames better than the mighty Dreamweaver.
Dreamweaver is what i would normally use and i think it is by far the best wysiwyg editor out there.
Why don't i code everything myself you ask?......Because i don't know how to!
I find that using the functionality of frontpage, (to a certain extent) and Dreamweaver, it sets up the code for you and various functions to certain things, and then you can learn from that, which is what i try to do.
This is my first asp coding, and as a result, i am very far behind the status of you guys here.
I usually use php.
I will code html and javascript myself, but when it comes to learning higher level languages such as sap, c, c++ etc etc, i can't pick it up from a book or text.

I need to see examples to learn from them.

Hence the reason why i appreciate programs like Dreamweaver, and Frontpage (Sometimes).

Just my opinion.

do not use FrontPage for writing ASP, belive me you're much better off using pure text editor e.g. Notepad. bugs generated by FP are usually unfixable.

I won't use notepad - I'd miss the syntax highlighting becos its pretty!!

ok, then use text editor with syntax highlighting.... just don't use something that add code of its own, usually ruining the whole design and code structure by this.

I do - Webcoder!

I use frontpage to write codes for me so that i can get them working and then learn how they are created and structured...or at least try to!

you are better off getting a tutorial and learning code from that or a book.
