I am a new to CF. I have CF8
I have been following a tutorial disc and it seems they are promoting the use of CFEclipse to create CF pages.

I want to start on the right foot and not learn half of somthing only to find its no good.

what is the best editor to develop CF in ? I have Dreamweaver8 and a program called webuilder 2007 which seems a lot easer to use than DW and then there is CFEclipse.

So any comments would be appreciated.

    CFEclipse has the features Dan mentions and more besides. I use both, but lean more towards CFEclipse.

    The code you write is a lot more important than the software you use to write it. Personally, I use Dreamweaver, strictly in code view. When I have to do anything from home, I use Wordpad.

    What I like about Dreamweaver is the autocompletion of tags, and the offering of available attributes when typing a tag. It would be nice if they had autocomplete for functions, but at least the colour changes so you can tell that you typed it correctly.

    I have nothing to say about CFEclipse because I have never used it.
