The ORDER for Dreamweaver Tutorials

[Regina31968656dtx3]

Hello, I want to learn Dreamweaver via the tutorials but there doesn't seem to be any order to them. Am I missing something? Does anyone know of a link to the Adobe site where the tutorials can be watched in a sensible order for learning step-by-step? Thanks!

It's a bit of a weird thing to say, but don't try to "learn dreamweaver".

Instead, spend your time learning HTML, CSS and Javascript. At least get a solid understanding of the basics of those three things so the program(s) you ultimately end up working with won't really matter.

DW is no longer in active development. Adobe moved it to a Minimum Development Status in 2020, saying only security patches, OS compatibility upgrades, and third party bolt-on library updates will be conducted going forward. No new features or bug fixes are planned for the program. When/if Adobe plans to pull the plug is anyone's guess, but the writing is on the wall.

Knowing how to work with HTML, CSS and Javascript will make working with any web development program much much easier, whether you choose DW or something in active development like Wappler. With a good knowledge of those three, you could even use Notepad or Simpletext to make a site.

Furthering on what has been said with other editors out there like Wappler, or Nova, or others, having that core foundation can let you go in other directions to learn how to manage websites in Wordpress, Webflow, Wix, and Hubspot, or even learn how to develop emails. Those are completely different fields and skillsets which is why it's always important to learn to crawl utilizing the basics before worrying about tools that enhance particular workflows.

There's nothing mysterious or magical about Dreamweaver.  It's just a code editor.

Learn HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Once you know the fundamentals, you can use Dreamweaver or any other code editor within an hour.

That's all there is to it.

1. Define a local site folder.  Go to Site > New Site...   Create a name & location for your site files.

2. Create a Starter Site. Go to File > New > Starter Templates.  Pick a layout and hit CREATE button.

Once saved, Dreamweaver will create a basic layout and folders for your site's assets.

Happy coding!
