Adobe Dreamweaver is a widely-used web development tool aimed at inexperienced and experienced users alike. It allows developers to work visually and behind the scenes, it uses standard web technologies such as HTML CSS and JavaScript. Web pages can be introduced into a Dreamweaver site at any time without the danger of the program modifying your code. In the same way, pages that you create in Dreamweaver can be taken out of the Dreamweaver environment and used elsewhere.
The program does not rely on its own unque solutions which will only work in the Dreamweaver environment. Although Dreamweaver is not necessarily the best environment for creating all types of website, it is not an environment which one easily outgrows. It can be used both for creating basic, static content consisting of client side pages as well as more sophisticated dynamic content including server side pages. In other words, it is suitable for developing the content found on the vast majority of websites. So, let's examine this content in more detail.
Most of our web sites are hosted on web servers run by specialist hosting companies. A large website will need to be hosted on a dedicated server or even servers, whereas most typical websites will be sharing space on a server with other sites. People visiting a website are sometimes called clients.
Clients access the content on web servers using a variety of operating systems and a variety of browsers. They usually find this content either by clicking on search engine and other links or by simply typing a URL into the address bar of their browser.
The content that clients access on websites can be divided into two main categories: client-side and server-side. The term client-side refers to web content which is compatible with the user's browser, material which the browser software can actually open, display or execute (in the case of scripts).
The cornerstone of client-side content is HTML, or as it's known in its current incarnation, XHTML; a stricter and more consistent version of the original HTML specification. HTML/XHTML is a simple markup language which is used to describe the content of web pages for the benefit of the client's browser. Then we have CSS and JavaScript.
CSS pages contain information relating to the layout and presentation of web content. JavaScript is a scripting language which can be used to add interactivity to web pages. For example, when someone is filling out a form on a website and information entered into a field is inappropriate, JavaScript can be used to notify the user that the content must be changed.
All modern web browsers are fully capable of digesting HTML, CSS and JavaScript. With the addition of extra software utilities known as plug-ins, other technologies can be included in web sites. Two of the most popular plug-in technologies are Adobe Acrobat PDF files and Flash. All of this content is completely compatible with the client's browser; hence the term client-side content.
