If I was wrong I apologize. I really, really hate SPAM and I've seen way too
many attempts to veil it with a thinly disguised, "Hey guys check this out",
followed by 2 pages of propaganda. No harm done.

Why would you say that? Clinton's posted here before, and his usual

Re: Is HomeSite Soon To Be History?

2000-04-06 Thread Chris Lott

The fact is that as technology progresses, some things that it was important
to do by hand become less so. Using SQL Server is a good example of this. A
good admin needs to know more than the new wizards in SQL server 7, but that
doesn't mean that the wizards are all bad, are necessarily inferior, or even
that there is a compelling reason to know how to do by hand what some of the
wizards do. If they do the job properly, that's what matters. You simply
bypass those that don't. And THAT is the key!

Similarly with visual editors. I still use Studio for the most part, but I
sometimes use Dreamweaver. There are many operations that are just much
faster with a visual editor and if you know what you are doing, then you
don't have to worry about bad code because you won't be making it (unlike
Frontpage where you can't stop it). Take tables: it is much faster to move
columns around and generally manipulate tables in DW than in Studio, so I
often pop in there to do it. I have no idea what a previous poster was
talking about: DW never inserts lots of empty rows or anything else.
Fireworks creates shim rows when it outputs HTML tables to split graphics,
but I've never had DW do that.

On the other hand, outside of particular things that I find quicker to pop
into DW to do, I still code by hand using Studio or TextPad. Knee-jerk
ignorance of the tools will no more benefit a developer than knee-jerk
acceptance. They have to be evaluated and used properly if they are used at
all. But I guarantee that there are many operations which, by dropping into
a good visual editor, I will complete faster and with equal quality, than
anyone using a text-based editor-- and no one on the receiving end will ever
know which is which. As long as that is the case, it's a good thing.

Thank you Bud.

I need to say that Michael D. sent me mail stating the length
and the apparent tome of the post were inappropriate for the list as
it sounded like spam. So I responded to his mail and sent him a
modification. That Michael then allowed the original to post to CF-Talk
was his doing, albeit as a result of my excitement over what appears to
be a real breakthrough in development tool strategy.

I think it is to Macromedia's credit - and to respect their acknowledgement
of HomeSite in the first place - that they are working to provide what
they believe is needed by the customer. That's you and me friends and
colleagues.

I think it would be appropriate for Michael to acknowledge my immediate
cooperation regarding my response to his mail and the my re-submittal of
a modification - which has yet to appear...and needn't as it is now mute
but for the fact and the ack that I did respond cooperatively.

I like Allaire's tools as well as any other products that I use but I'm in
business for me - to make a profit - and to product high quality results for
my customers. Yes, I code by hand, and I also use any and all authoring or
any other tool that will help me represent my customer to produce the
highest
quality result to achieve the most affordable cost-performance benefit.
After
fifteen years of experience in this industry I've earned my insights and
my opinions are based on experience - not emotional whining or unreasonable
conjecture.

That Allaire has been having a tough time balancing their reach for the
enterprise while allowing their development tools to slip away to the
competition
is of concern to me. That Macromedia is accepting the challenge and
producing
results is important news.

As far as I am aware, Homesite is not about to be dropped.  Allaire's next 
major version of Homesite will be, apparently, a big overhaul, with a lot 
of improved layout control.

***as a total replacement*** to be 100% productive.

It seems Macromedia has not been as asleep at the wheel and I wonder what
the near future will bring...Consider this announcement from Macromedia...

Macromedia announces code name UltraDev at Internet World today.

What is UltraDev?
Designed specifically for application development, UltraDev is a brand
new product based on the Dreamweaver core architecture. UltraDev is
the first solution to support ASP, JSP and CFML within a single design
environment.

Once UltraDev ships it will allow you to:

1. Create professional web applications
UltraDev provides everything you need to build, manage, and deploy
dynamic, database-driven Web applications.

2. Maintain total control over code
UltraDev is the only product with visual and source editing for total
control over source code.

3. Connect easily to databases
Quickly connect existing, static web pages to any ODBC, JDBC, or ADO
database including Oracle, Sybase, Informix, Microsoft SQL Server and
Microsoft Access.

4. View server-side data in the workspace
Save time and avoid repetitive tasks by viewing, testing, and editing
live data returned from the application server in your workspace.

5. Build for industry-standard servers
UltraDev is the only solution that lets you build ASP, JSP, and Cold
Fusion sites in one single design environment. Build sites for robust
industry servers like Microsoft IIS, Allaire Cold Fusion, IBM
Websphere, BEA WebLogic, and Netscape Enterprise Server.

6. Create robust enterprise-ready Web applications
Through extensibility, UltraDev integrates with other leading servers,
Web applications and e-commerce solutions.


  UltraDev is NOT a replacement to Dreamweaver, it's a new standalone
product built on the Dreamweaver core architecture.

UltraDev IS the replacement to Drumbeat.  Macromedia is not planning
to rev Drumbeat.

UltraDev is expected to ship in June.


FAQ
What is the difference between Dreamweaver and UltraDev?
Dreamweaver is a visual design solution for creating HTML web sites.
While Dreamweaver is open to integrating with leading web application
servers, it is not engineered for visually creating web applications.
UltraDev was built specifically for creating dynamic Web applications
using technologies like ASP, JSP, and CFML.

What is the price of UltraDev?
Macromedia has not yet announced pricing for UltraDev. However, it
will be priced competitively with other Web application development
environments.

I am a Macromedia customer and I currently develop Web applications.
Will I be able to purchase UltraDev for a special price?
Yes, but you must register your Macromedia product to qualify for any
special offer.

Is UltraDev an add-on to Dreamweaver?
No, it is a new stand-alone product that is designed to meet the
specific needs of Web application developers.

Does UltraDev replace Drumbeat?
Yes. When UltraDev ships it will replace Drumbeat as Macromedia's
solution for Web application development.

Will there be an upgrade path from Drumbeat to UltraDev?
Yes, registered users of Drumbeat will be offered an upgrade at a very
competitive price.

Will you continue to support Drumbeat?
Yes, we will continue to provide Drumbeat technical support through
the end of the year.

Does this mean you won't be updating Drumbeat?
Correct, UltraDev replaces Drumbeat as the Macromedia solution for
creating Web applications.

Will there be an e-commerce edition of UltraDev?
The core product will not include any e-commerce specific features,
but through the power of extensibility and our network of developers,
you will be able to easily download extensions for creating e-commerce
applications.

Will I be able to open and edit my Drumbeat sites in UltraDev?
Yes, UltraDev reads and writes ASP, JSP, and CFML. The published pages
of your Drumbeat sites can be opened and edited. However UltraDev will
not open .edf files.

Will my Dreamweaver sites work in UltraDev?
Dreamweaver's native file format is HTML. UltraDev reads, recognizes
and parses HTML, so there won't be any problems opening files built in
Dreamweaver or any other application like Cold Fusion Studio,
FrontPage, and HomeSite.

When will UltraDev be available?
UltraDev is expected to be available in June 2000.

I just bought Drumbeat, do I qualify for a free upgrade to UltraDev?
Customers who buy Drumbeat after April 5, 2000 qualify for a free
upgrade to UltraDev when it becomes available.

Will UltraDev be available in languages other than English?
Yes, the first release of UltraDev will be

worry about a mass exodus of developers un-installing HS and CF Studio in

Products can't be under NDA - only people who signed NDAs can be under
NDAs.  Products are incapable of signing contracts.

Also, I have signed no such contract.  Therefore it ought to be legal for
me to talk about such a product whenever I want.  Perhaps the original
poster was under NDA, but that should hardly affect the rest of the list
population.  If Macromedia has a problem, they'll have to take it up with

Re: Is HomeSite Soon To Be History?

2000-04-05 Thread Michael Kear

Alan, can I suggest that you at least look at UltraEdit
(www.ultraedit.com) which as a text editor leaves notepad in the dark
ages?

It handles files of any size, unlimited number of files open at once, has
global search and replace over all open files, colour coding of html tags
(which you can specify) etc, and above all, you can configure what's open
when you start it - past files? projects? most recent folders?.  If has
macros that can do a vast array of stuff, and while this sounds like a
Microsoft brochure, its' nowhere near as hard to use as microsoft
programs.  And if you're into , hand coding, I reckon it's the beezneez.

I use the great tools too, CFStudio, Dreamweaver et al. but I use
UltraEdit all the time.

Disclaimer:  I have no financial or other connection with UltraEdit,
except that I'm a happy customer and have been using it since version 5.2
(it's up to v7.1 now)

But when it comes to my living - the web - I need to know all the ins and
outs.  I can't claim to be a professional at this unless I can understand
what's going on in the apps I produce.

Bingo.

I have experienced a lot of problems with Homesite though, once I made the 
mistake of buying a Windows 98 machine. My old P120/Win95 ran faster than 
this P3-500/win98

Blasted memory leaks - when Homesite 4.5 runs out of memory, it behaves 
VERY poorly.

What a load of hooey!

Ignoring the fact that this message was a thinly-disguised advertisement for
a competing product...

Some of us out here actually KNOW HOW TO CODE! We don't need bloatware
handholding to create high-quality sites. It's my opinion, but if you need
this type of layout program to create websites, then you're not a
programmer. You may be a designer, but you're not a programmer and should
not be allowed to write code. Programmers actually take pride in
*understanding what they are doing* instead of just connecting the pretty
dots.

I certainly don't do all of my coding in notepad, but the editors I do use
(Homesite, CF Studio and Visual Studio) are primarily code-editors (First
thing I do on install is disable the layout tab). Nonetheless, if Homesite
and CF Studio were to disappear tomorrow, you'll find me happily editing in
Notepad or vi.

Bah, Amateurs!

And some of us that know how to code also know how to *properly* use a
Visual Design Tool where and when appropriate to the task and/or team
environment at hand. Just because a tool offers a visual component doesn't
necessarily mean it's intended for amatuers nor that it will create bloated
code when used *properly*. Should be interesting to see UltraDev given the
quality of other Macromedia products.
