AverageJoe Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I plan on making a site in python once it's installed on the new server. I prefer it over php. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milli Mind Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Dreamweaver. For shoutbox I use shoutmix.com For forums I love SMF - it's easy to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clydefrog Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I plan on making a site in python once it's installed on the new server. I prefer it over php. I agree man! python is easier than php, but you have more flexibility with php! I like php a bit more, but both are cool. Thats a neat website for a quick shoutbox milli, i might have to pick on it in the future! Yeah I use dreamweaver for most of my works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelytig Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 So based on your replies, none of you guys use HTML to make websites? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 PHP and Python use HTML. Dreamweaver makes HTML pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokuma Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 i would say, at first use Adobe Photoshop CS(2 or 3) and make your design, than use Dreamwaver to code your design (: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meriadoc Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 As far as tools, I have heard good things about Dreamweaver, but have not yet had the chance to use it because of the price tag. I've looked at a few open source tools and found that Seamonkey includes a Composer to build websites. It is based on the Composer included with the old Netscape browser. It probably doesn't have all the bells and whistles included with Dreamweaver, but will get you started. Don't bother with Nvu or Kompozer, there hasn't been any updates or support for either of those products in quite some time. For whatever it is worth here is my opinion. If you are just starting out, begin by learning HTML and CSS. It really is key for any website. Then you can get into dynamic pages and use a language like php. I've also found it handy to know client side scripting. I prefer to use javascript for client side scripting since just about every browser I've come across supports it. Seems like the shoutbox question has been answered. For forums, I would just google and decide based on the features the product supports or you desire in a forum. We also don't know what platform you are developing on. The answer to that will make a difference in what is suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashoat Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Personally, I don't like Dreamweaver. It's really not that helpful, in my opinion. I use phpDesigner for most PHP work, but sometimes I use vim instead, usually for smaller things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trippin Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 For building websites I use RapidPHP. It's a great editor and supports most of the major web programming languages. I personally can't use DreamWeaver though. And for making scripts, I use php and mysql. But that's just because I haven't learned any other languages.

Kyougi Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I find vim to be the best for my HTML/CSS/Python needs, but that's just me. PHP and Python use HTML. lolwut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I find vim to be the best for my HTML/CSS/Python needs, but that's just me. PHP and Python use HTML. lolwut Yeah. I know PHP spits out HTML as output, doesn't python do the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyougi Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Yeah. I know PHP spits out HTML as output, doesn't python do the same? It spits out HTML, but PHP/python using HTML? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Yeah. I know PHP spits out HTML as output, doesn't python do the same? It spits out HTML, but PHP/python using HTML? To me, output = utilization. I mean, does php have any alternative way of output? The Internet is encased in < and >. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
