HandCoding - Recommended Editors
Hi Guys,
Due to an assignment I have ongoing at college (html and css coding using notepad) I am taking more of an interest in handcoding as opposed to using WYSIWYG. I'm getting quite tired of the lack of basic aid which notepad offers to code cutters like myself, it's time I looked around for alternatives.
If anybody has any great recommendations (reliable, solid, accurate software) as to what I can start using instead, I would be very grateful.
Thanks

I do all my coding in DreamWeaver (MX 2004) - haven't looked at the design view for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages.

It looks like a great piece of software, and for a very competetive and reasonable price.
Thanks for sharing Tim. I tried doing a google search but all I got back was a heap of useless old links to shoddy looking expensive software.
Keep them coming if possible people

Seen.To I've tried that but I'm just so offput by how it works. I've been using DW2004MX for a year now and it's starting to get old and fast.

/me waves around glowing stick of random noise making goodness
The reason for the change is due to application intensity. I'm looking for an application that will do ONLY what I need it to do, and not a billion other things. I'm more comfortable in a sufficient working environment rather than an over-qualified one.

yeah, i know what you mean. i'm still satisfied w/ notepad for now. as i get into more itnense back end development debugging is starting to become a paint, but i haven't found a good alternative for it yet.
the reasoni laugh is because i put a strong emphasis on hand coding, because i'm semantic/tableless coding all the way and my uneducated web development (html) class actually laughs and thinks using dreamweaver's design mode outputs better quality html than i do by hand.
why they can't see i'm still faster then them i just don't know, but it pleases me to see people turning away from DW.

I know what you mean, my college HTML class is a joke. We have people using frontpage (of all apps) struggling to understand the concepts of tables, while I'm zipping up HTML pages in mere minutes.
I'm interested very much so in tableless designs, so much so that I bought a book from SitePoint called "HTML Utopia - Designing without Tables using CSS". Not had much of a chance to dig into it yet, but it's looking great

yeah, i think there might be tableless templates or something for Dw design view, i'm not sure. someone made a comment like that during one of my speels about how my class is so out of date.
we both agreed that to really accomplish good tableless design though, you need to have a good understanding of HTML so design view doesn't save you very much anymore from *menu*select click vs <div>. it seems too redundant to have any benefit so i say go hand cogina ll the way to everyone.
