Help a brother out please. Coding platforms for Web design/development. Should I abandon drag and drops? cause I want to

Question

ok everybody I'm taking that step to abandon the drag and drops and go straight coding I'm going to need some help. what are some coding platforms yall use for html, html5 css, js, etc?

Answer 1

It's a matter of preference. For me personally, I hard code all of my stuff instead of using one of the drag-n-drop type of designers. I do that because it helps me learn the stuff better, allows me to organize the source better, and overall just feels less limiting than one of the designers.

For web dev, I mostly just use WebMatrix 3. It's a simple IDE and works pretty smooth for what I'm doing. Allows me to remote into my server also, so much easier than having to use another program to FTP the files over.

Answer 2

No problem at all man. If you haven't already, I would spend some time learning CSS also. (it's very easy to learn) It'll allow you to properly present/display your websites in the way that you want. There is a lot of really awesome features in the latest CSS version, and is one of those "must know" type of things.

Btw, I forgot to mention, WebMatrix 3 is free for use.

Take care. I wish you the best with your ventures bro.
