HTML Editors
- Adobe Dreamweaver,
which is a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) authoring software that allows web developers to generate HTML and JavaScript source code while viewing the site as they work.
- Microsoft Expression Web,
which is a design tool to create sophisticated standards-based web sites.
It combines both FrontPage and Visual Studio technologies in a new user interface for creating web pages.
Expression Web and Visual Studio are now consolidated.
- Bootstrap,
which is an open-source JavaScript framework developed by the team at Twitter.
It is a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code designed to help build user interface components.
Web Frameworks
Web frameworks, integrated development environments (IDEs), are designed to make building a website faster and easier.
This timeline visually reveals that multiple new frameworks are created each year.
There is not one framework that is good for everything.
A framework should be chosen based on what type of website or application they are making, and what format of framework they prefer.
