Introduction

In addition to drag-and-drop features that help you build web pages, 
Dreamweaver provides a full-featured coding environment that includes 
code-editing tools (such as code coloring, tag completion, a coding toolbar, 
and code collapse) and language reference material on Cascading Style 
Sheets (CSS), JavaScript, ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML), and 
other languages. Macromedia Roundtrip HTML technology imports your 
hand-coded HTML documents without reformatting the code; you can 
then reformat code with your preferred formatting style.

Dreamweaver also lets you build dynamic, database-driven web 
applications using server technologies such as CFML, ASP.NET, ASP, JSP, 
and PHP. If your preference is for working with XML data, Dreamweaver 
provides tools that let you easily create XSLT pages, attach XML files, and 
display XML data on your web pages.

Dreamweaver is fully customizable. You can create your own objects and 
commands, modify keyboard shortcuts, and even write JavaScript code to 
extend Dreamweaver capabilities with new behaviors, Property inspectors, 
and site reports.

For more information on the resources available for learning Dreamweaver, 
see 

Chapter 1, “Learning Dreamweaver,” on page 15
