Dreamweaver or Sublime Text?

[XDroidie626]

Okay so I am looking at undertaking a few programming projects to build a portfolio while I am in university, they will mostly be web projects as I am rather enjoying my web stuff at the moment.

So which would be better for a student? Dreamweaver or Sublime.

Only real reason I can actually think for Dreamweaver is live view, saves me a few mins with live view over me actually having to use firefox to open my pages manually.

I do all my work in code view.

I will be moving into Javascript, PHP etc with other side projects.

 

So what do you think?

 

Thanks!

I personally like Sublime but you could just leave the page open on one monitor and hit F5/Refresh when you want to see the changes, Plus I believe dreamviewer's live view only works with Chrome, not completely sure on that one though. Personally Sublime.

Brackets and PhpStorm also have the live view feature so they are other options you can look into. I think they are both Chrome only as well.

You mean the big blue button in the middle of the page that I linked? (or the link under it)

Yeah, I just looked at the site on mobile and it's not there. You'll see it when you aren't viewing their sites mobile version.

Dreamviewer is IDE (who sux btw) and Sublime is just a text editor.

Those 2 are 2 different things.

 

If ur going for IDE try phpStorm (If you have money to spend) or NetBeans (if you are going for free solution - I use NetBeans)

And if you are looking to compare texteditors then Sublime or Notepad++.

Just wanted to point out that because OP said they're a student, they can get it free.
