Re: ExpressWeb vs Intraweb

Dreamweaver is a web development studio.

It's an HTML editor with bits plugged into it.

It will let you do all sorts of
stuff, including design pages with cascading style sheets, etc.
DreamWeaver
can be used as a front end for web development for Cold Fusion and (I
believe) asp.net.

As will any text editor.

well. you can write your .pas and .dfm files in notepad, but you don't.

Essentially, DreamWeaver plays a role somewhat like Delphi,

In the loosest possible sense. Dreamweaver is not the language.

Delphi is not the language. At least it wasn't. Now it's the language, so I
guess I meant to say BDS. Pedant! <g>

It's just a
parser and editor with some groovy shortcuts, pretty wizards/dialogs, good
library of reference material for lots of different languages and some
fairly nice inbuilt scripts. It also has (like Delphi) a pretty healthy
"plug in" market.

Right, Delphi si much the same with a compiler as well - which the
Dreamweaver web application development doesn't need since the application
server does that.

Don't take this as criticism of Dreamweaver, mind you, I use it myself all
the time.

It is not, however, the only way to do what it does.

Sure. It is widely used and well regrded though.

Don't take my post as an advocacy of DW as the only possible tool. In fact,
it couldproably be used in conjunction with IW or asp.net for the design
side.

I was just pointing out it's a valid choice and Delphi is not the only way
to acheive a web application solution.
