Has Adobe stopped producing updated tutorials for dreamweaver cc 2023? Everything I can find is several years old and not up to date to DW's interface and or functions/features. Just looking for the latest information to comprehensively learn everything within the program. Thanks

Here is a quick video demo of how you can quickly build amazing things using Adobe DW without a lot of experience. It is a pretty recent version of DW but not the most, close enough for you to get the just of it.

      These are the the most up to date tutorials:

       

      Dreamweaver's UI & menus are the same now as they were in 2019.  Nothing's changed much to warrant updating.

        Thank you for your replies. I was wondering about your opinion on integrating version 5 of bootstrap? Can and should I do it? Thanks.

        I was wondering if I could install BS5 to natively function in dreamweaver. If not, does dreamweaver have all the elements to build a fully functional responsive site? Or am I best off using DW as an editor as you mentioned before. Also, are DW extensions recommended? It seems many are defunct. I was looking for basic options like layout, navigation, photo galleries, multimedia stuff, etc. Thanks.

        Short answer is no. You would have to manually code using the Bootstrap 5 specifications. You could of course take some time to build yourself a set of Bootstrap 5 snippets of code in Dreamweaver (copied from the Bootstrap 5 website) and then it becomes more 'native' - after all that is all Bootstrap 4 in Dreamwever is, a bunch of code snippets, really.

        Yes, if you want to use an outdated version of Bootstrap. Bootstrap 4, which is included in Dreamweaver as default is not the worst choice, as it will work in all browsers for years to come, your website is not going to stop working. Even if Dreamweaver gets EOL'd (end of life) I assume Adobe will keep their activation servers open for a few years so anyone that has built a Bootstrap 4 website via the UI in Dreamweaver can maintain their website, otherwise they will have to manually maintain it in another code editor or find another product that supports Bootstrap 4, through the UI.

         

        My instinct as a developer tells me its more positive to use the lastest stable version of Bootstrap if you are going to build a new website, rather than starting off behind the curve.

         

        I would only recommend Dreamweaver these days if you can code, it's still a good code editor. However a decison has been made by the powers that be to not actively introduce any new features or modern workflows into DW, which means those that only build using the UI are building websites that are 'outdated' or soon will be, in terms of current workflows.

          Dreamweaver is merely a code editor. When you understand how to work with code, Dreamweaver is simple to use.

            I suspect that now Dreamweaver is only being minimally maintained there is no finance available to pay content developers to produce tutorials for a product which is no longer featuring much in Adobes future plans. I could be wrong, I haven't looked on Adobes website recently.........someone more intune with Dreamweaver will most likely provide a more comprehensive response.
