: : if i could get help accessing one of these and i knew what i was doing i'd study these lessons and teach myself. still, does anyone know the best one to use and how i can go about securing a copy? let me know. it's all Greek to me at this point, but i'm good w languages if i can study them long enough. maybe i can teach myself Greek. i don't own a MAC.

STEVE:
Jason has the whole Macromedia Suite, iuncluding Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks, etc. Ask him.

Also, these tutorials are not for Mac versus PC. They apply to either architecture.

Check out the HTML and Javascript courses especially. These are a great foundation in basic coding. Granted, the WSYWIG programs (Dreamweaver, GoLive, etc.) do all the coding for you, but there are many situations where it is extremly helpful to be able to do the coding yourself.

XAVIER SAID:
: if you want am easy way to create a rather good site you can always use Front Page. The program gives you 3 views to switch to while creating your page. Normal, which is your rough draft, then it shows you the code in your draft , and then a finished product mode.

: If you are a begineer this might be the program for you, research the name if you want.

STEVE:
I don't recommend FrontPage myself, as I have discovered some problems with these sites as being non-Mac friendly in some cases. Microsoft is notorious for creating internet programs that do not work as well on Macs as they do on PCs. This is a not-so-subtle attempt to get users to believe Windows is a better operating system. These kinds of practices are the reason Microsoft is always battling lawsuits. I hope they eventually get so sick of major judgments against them that they learn their lesson. Doubtful, though.

I really recommend DreamWeaver or GoLive. They produce websites that work well in either browser, as they are affilitated with neither. They also have all of the features you mentioned above.
