So please tell me all softwares (including coffee editor or any script software) that one webmaster must have in his PC.

Here are the list of softwares I know :
Dreamweaver(to create html); frontpage (to create html); coffee editor (to create banners if I'm not wrong)....more please you tell me.

There are so many web designer softwares available in net but on ething remember Dreamweaver is the king an till now no software replaced its place and dont confuse your self by using so many softwares though it is little hard still you should concentrate on it.

Sometimes dreamweaver becomes difficult for me to edit a webpage, as the font size or colour has not come properly what I want, at least in IE. Probably I have to learn it more to master this s/w.

Though dreamweaver is little bit complex than any otehr editor but Dream weaver has more functionalities than other editors.

Actually, it is even enough if you have just Dreamweaver for creating static website and for editing pictures and all, you may have Photoshop and other than this one, you cna have Flash or creating dynamic websites

Though i'm not an expert in adobe image ready but what i know it is similar to photo shop but ImageReady has specialized features such as animated GIF creation, image compression optimisation, image slicing and rollover effects, and HTML generation.

Yes, Adobe Image Ready is used to create animated images, but this will not be as smooth as you get the result in Flash for sure

Thanks for giving the list above my friend it would really help me a lot since I dont have 1 and 4 list yet.

Here's my list that i had back 2 years when i was working as Web/App developer,
>Dreamweaver CS3 (Ultimate GUI for We design!)
>Flash CS3 (For creating Flash!)

Also while developing with .NET i have used VS 2005! And Microsoft's Expression studio 1 !!!

**freelancer82** · 10-06-09, 17:18

Hello Lemon!
First of all sacrifice softwares!! Learn basics first! Learn HTML and then xHTML!
Then learn Ajax!
Stick to any 1 technology and be master in that! For e.g. i have chosen ASP.NET 3.5 and i am with it! From early days of .net like from 2002 i am developing on this platform and believe me it rocks!

Well that is useful when many people are blocking the flash with the flash blockers.I am not that expert in all that but this one is good for making small size ads that people will see even they use flash blocker addons.
