Do you write all your code by hand or do you have a cheater program?
Thanks

For me I use HomeSite, PSP & EZthumbs
but I'd like to expand my collection
Looking for programs that assist with CSS, ASP, PHP, online selling etc.
Cheat sheets & point and click design... etc

I use BBEdit for my coding now (mac program) -- used to use DreamWeaver, but haven't for a long time now, so it's all hand coding for me now. It's just as fast, I usually have to fix the code that dreamweaver spits out.

Graphics programs (I'll only list the web ones, not the print design ones):
photoshop, illustrator, procreate painter, flash mx, adobe acrobat, and strata 3D studio pro when needed.

I just use scite for coding and photoshop for images, even though a 5 year old can probably use photoshop better than me :p

Like Bradyj, I also use BBEdit, and for graphics, I use Photoshop. For computer programming, I use REALbasic, and I am planning to learn C++, which I will use Xcode for...

Dreamweaver for HTML, CSS, ASP, PHP, JavaScript. If I'm just making a quick edit, and don't want to bother loading Dreamweaver, I use Textpad.

Photoshop and Flash for graphics and animations.

NetBeans for Java and Java Server Pages.

Visual Studio for C++ and Visual Basic.

Textpad for Perl and any other coding.

Oh yeah, and:

MySQL for database.

phpMyAdmin for administering MySQL databases.

I use Homesite 5.2, phpMyAdmin, Visio 2003 and Photoshop 7 primarily.

I use Frontpage 2004 for most of the page designs, though EditPad Classic (I don't think it's available anymore) when I'm typing up a script or editing the source of a page. Other than that, IfranView (free program) for resizing and doing basic image manipulation.

[Spookster]

Macromedia Dreamweaver MX for site management and most client-side and server-side coding
Macromedia Fireworks for graphics
Adobe Photoshop 7 for graphics
Swish for flash animation

Are you serious? :eek::p

I use Dreamweaver MX 2004 as my ultra fancy text editor. Everything else is turned off; there's no "Design View", nor is there a toolbar up the top. I only use it over SciTe because of its ability to search an entire site and the ability to preview in multiple browsers straight from DW. Topstyle seems to do everything that I use DW for (and more!) so I'm going to give that a serious try out soon.

Discreete Plasma for making 3D Flash, Fireworks for .png and nothing gets by without a little bit of Photoshop ;)

For programming it's PHPEdit and Eclipse with a plethora of plugins, Putty for secure shell access, phpMyAdmin or the MySQL client for database administration, and CuteFTP/WinSCP for file transfer. Modeling in Dia or Poseidon. Occasionally I start Photoshop if I need to do something with graphics, but that's not very often. And of course I need Winamp to drown out the noise in the office.

Well, I should say Frontpage 2003 (2004 hasn't come out yet), but yep. I know it's not exactly pretty, but I started out with Frontpage 97, and old habits die hard.

[firepages]

for code I use editplus & sometimes maguma studio + bluefish on redhat
graphics , photoshop & flash (only use the bare basics of both) +ThumbsPlus for general image browsing
ftp via ws-ftp or scp (via SSH)
SSH , a win32 client (I dont know its name apart from its called SSH ? & very basic)
I got MS VC6 but mostly for compiling not much coding going on ;)
MySQL front (& phpmyadmin) for MySQL

I also have cygwin setup for cvs access (wincvs sucks ;) )& to give some common unix tools so I can test system scripts before uploading (though more and more testing locally on redhat box).

Used to use fireworks a lot , not touched it for a while

[whackaxe]

HTML, PHP, CSS: HTML-kit
Graphics: Gimp 1.2

yes, i'm a bit of a cheap skate but they are both great programs.

i also firmly recomend Toptyle 3. it's like where Homesite 4 should have gone, (seeing as both programsa re written by the same guy) before it was bought up by Macromedia

[Cheezwedge]

Well as of now the only one of those I code is HTML although I also do actual Windows and cross-platform programming, I only prefer to use Notepad for my HTML and Javascript coding. Dreamweaver and all that other crap is useless unless you want weak pages that are more than 3 times the size that they could be if they were hand programmed.

[gsnedders]

and old habits die hard.

Well, then, I should still be using templates :p

Any how, I found my list in complete, so here's the full list: PHP, (X)HTML and CSS: BBEdit
FTP: Transmit
Graphics: Photoshop CS
MySQL: phpMyAdmin

REALbasic: REALbasic
C++: Xcode

[circusbred]

PHP, HTML, CSS: gedit 2.4 with a few custom language-specs
FTP: Nautilus 2.4 (nothing beats drag and drop right from the file manager)
SSH: ssh

Graphics: Photoshop 7 & Fireworks MX occasionally
