Dreamweaver CS5 and PHP

I just read a very inter­est­ing review of Dreamweaver CS5 writ­ten by David Powers. David is some­one I have known for many years and he has writ­ten many books related to PHP. He is some­one who’s opin­ion I trust.

So his review of Dreamweaver CS5 was of par­tic­u­lar inter­est to me as I am now fully embrac­ing the WordPress plat­form and learn­ing more about it every day. PHP is also becom­ing my sec­ond devel­op­ment plat­form (along­side ColdFusion) and any improve­ments to Dreamweaver for PHP devel­op­ment is great news to me… and appar­ently there’s plenty.

Unlike Fireworks CS5 which I have used and will review within the next few days, I haven’t used Dreamweaver CS5 yet so this review makes me anx­ious to get my hands on a copy and start inte­grat­ing it in my work flow.

He also touches on other issues like HTML 5 and CSS3 sup­port (or lack thereof) and why he thinks that, for now, Adobe made the right deci­sion. Thanks for the great review David!

    Thanks for your kind words, Stéphane. I haven’t done a lot of work in Dreamweaver CS5 with WordPress yet, but I really love the improve­ments in both Live View and code hint­ing. For any­one work­ing with PHP, CS5 is a whole new ball game.
