Did Dreamweaver support all stages of web development, including uploading to your server? I think that's what Panic is talking about here, how Coda was your one-stop shop for everything, including deploying your site.
- eridius 8y agoI find it really interesting that I've been downvoted into oblivion for asking a question.
- chrismonsanto 8y agoWhen I last used it (early 2000s) it had built-in FTP support
- muglug 8y agoDreamweaver definitely had upload-on-save (not sure if that functionality predated Coda, but it was there the last time I used it in 2008 or so)
- JasonFruit 8y agoWhoa! Look at that goalpost go!
- eridius 8y agoWhat are you talking about? The page was very explicit about what it meant: > It put the tools you needed to make a web page together in one app, and nobody had ever done that before. All I did was ask if Dreamweaver supported one particular aspect of this, given that I'm not familiar with Dreamweaver's features beyond "WYSIWYG editing".
- reaperducer 8y agoMy memory of Dreamweaver was that it didn’t do databases or FTP. It may have added those features later, but I only used it back when .shtml “sheetmetal” was the state of the art.
- kbenson 8y agoI consulted for clients in early 2000 that would use "publish" in Dreamweaver to FTP (and maybe even SFTP[1]) upload their site, from what I recall. 1: I don't remember whether it was FTP over TLS or SSH FTP. You might assume the former, but this was a very weird age for file uploads, and I remember being surprised more than once...
- prawn 8y agoI used CF Studio in the late 1990s and it had FTP/RDS/SourceSafe, some semblance of WYSIWYG, datasources/databases, etc. Can't see how Coda would even come close to being the OG without a very narrow definition of features. Dreamweaver had FTP/etc at various points.
- mosdl 8y agoHomesite had all of those as well.
- duxup 8y agoOh man I remember Homesite. I loved it. Before that I used the old Netscape WISYWIG editor.
- y4mi 8y agowhats WISYWIG? Or is it supposed to be a play on the pronunciation of WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) ?
- Intermernet 8y agoWhat I See Yis What I Get. Obviously...
- duxup 8y agoJust me mistyping WYSIWYG.
- shereadsthenews 8y agoAmaya saved to the origin using either HTTP PUT or WebDAV and it dates from the 90s.
- detaro 8y agoYes. And lots of more purely text-editors also support(ed) that, FTP wasn't an exotic feature.
- _jal 8y agoYes it did, and more! It even came with exploitable binaries, thus earning the distinction of being the first HTML editor to compromise your website for you. https://insecure.org/sploits/Microsoft.frontpage.insecurities.html https://insecure.org/sploits/Microsoft.frontpage.insecuritie... (Edit: I originally said it auto-installed this. I misremembered what was going on and corrected.)
- Crinus 8y agoThis is about Frontpage, the parent post is about Dreamweaver. Also it is misleading, the linked page is about the server-side Frontpage Extensions, if you used Frontpage as an HTML page editor you'd just get a static site which is as secure as any other site made of static HTML files.
- prawn 8y agoI believe so. CF Studio also. Pretty sure I used the latter pre-2000.
- laumars 8y agoIt did. It was actually a really sophisticated tool when it was released but it was more aimed at non-programmers in that it's primary usage was code generation. So those of use who prefer to write the code ourselves would have given it a wide berth.
