    Default OT - MS Expression Web

    Any of the NOF users here ever use MS Expression Web? Thoughts?
    Opinions? Does it play well with NOF?

    If you must work in asp.net environment, use MS Expression. It was built to
    code asp.net. If you're working on static html pages, pick a tool and stick
    with it. Don't try to work with one application, then open the page in
    another. It seldom works out well.

    Thanks. That's what I'm trying to do at this stage. Continue on with NOF
    (which I've been using for years) or jump ship to something new. I'm
    leaning to sticking with NOF, but don't want to ever get locked in and
    not consider other options.

    I always say, "Use the correct tool for the project at hand." I have many
    different applications in my web developer's toolbox.

    One pair that DO work well is NoF and 4D. I use both for about 40% of
    my web sites.

    NoF for page layout and navigation, 4D for CMS, dynamic features and
    eCommerce. A great pairing, IMHO.

    Expression Web is really unnecessary now that MS Visual Web Developer 2008
    Express Edition is available . . . and at no cost.
    http://www.microsoft.com/express/vwd/

    This has just about all of the goodies in Expression Web including a great
    CSS editor, etc.

    or, direct download:
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en


    V WebDev supports ASP.Net development VERY well and is a very capable HTML
    editor too.

    Now that Fusion uses CSS-based layout, Fusion should "play well" (or at
    least better) with standards based technologies. However, in my opinion, it
    doesn't really make sense to develop in multiple environments when they are
    all getting so powerful and can do virtually anything you ask of them. [Too
    bad Fusion seems to have dropped the ball on ASP.Net.]

    Good Luck!



    Felix
