If you are wondering what’s new in DreamWeaver CS6, here is a run down of some of the new features in the CS6 version of DreamWeaver. From updated live view to fluid grid layout these make it easier and quicker to produce quality content with particular enhancements for mobile app development.
The new features in the CS6 version of DreamWeaver include:
One of our instructors and well known author David Powers, has just released his latest book “Adobe DreamWeaver CS5 with PHP” published by Adobe Press. The book is currently a very affordable £18.50 on Amazon, and is David’s 8th book on the subject of Web Development. David has had some great reviews on his previous books published by Friends of Ed and we’re sure this new one from Adobe Press will prove to be just as popular. He probably knows more about DreamWeaver than almost anybody we’ve ever met, and that’s saying something. Congratulations David.
If you are using products such as Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, DreamWeaver, PHP or Blender then there are a number of new groups now available on LinkedIn which you might want to join.
For those who haven’t heard of LinkedIn before it is a business networking site with over 70 million members of all levels, and can be a great place to network, find new opportunities and learn from the community (plus it’s free).
The groups which have just gone live are listed below:
Work visually or directly in code, develop with dynamic third-party application frameworks like WordPress, Joomla!, or Drupal, and troubleshoot efficiently with CSS inspection tools. 
Simplify advanced website development with custom PHP code hinting. Work more securely in a team environment with enhanced support for Subversion® software. Integration with Adobe BrowserLab—a new Adobe CS Live online service*—gives you access to fast and accurate browser compatibility previews, including dynamic content and user-generated interactions.
Again, a new standard, HTML5, being worked on, but not finalised yet. And again, some browsers are starting to use some of the new HTML5 commands.
I have not tried them yet (but I plan to), but here is a short list of browsers/links to help you get started…
Browsers that have started implementing HTMl5
Chrome
Firefox 3.5
Opera
Safari
Useful HTML5 links
In case you were wondering, you can create rounded corners in web pages now, without graphics.
However it takes CSS3 to do it, and although the standard has not been finalised yet, it doesn’t mean that the browsers are not taking advantage of any new techniques that they like.
Such as rounded corners.
At the moment I have only tested Safari andFirefox with this code – I do not know if it is possible in Chrome, IE, etc – but here is the css code…
Firefox (mozilla)
-moz-border-radius: 5 px [for all corners, circle]
