Notepad? Textpad? REAL programmers use vi to create webpages (mainly because real programmers use UNIX ).

Seriously, one of my coworkers does ALL his coding in vi, not just HTML stuff; he's been coding for more years than I've been alive...

I come from a strong html and Unix background and I saw Dreamweaver all the way.

It does a nice job of making compliant code and has a ton of features that make the most mundane tasks quick and simple. I would highly recommened it. Of course I would say learn html first and code that way before you start witha commercial product.

Bah! You have to learn binary and script in that! Machine language!
(Yeah right)

I'll put in another vote for HomeSite. I have to code my stuff by hand--can't stand WYSIWYG editors--but Notepad (or, gods forbid, vi) don't have the usefulness of color-coding which simply makes it easier to figure out what's going on with your code.

This is especially important for what I do, which is a lot of PHP coding. I find that when I'm forced to use Notepad for some reason, distinguishing the PHP from the HTML code becomes tedious. Thankfully, I'm moving toward using templates, which should make even that a bit easier.

WHOO-HOO! I did some Assembly language programming in college, but I managed to avoid binary & machine language (benefits of being EE instead of CompSci or CompEng ).

And now back to your regularly scheduled topic...
