Web Developer opinions sought - MS Expression Web...

[iDenTiTy]

Hi guys,

I stubled upon a web development package called Microsoft Expression Web.
Now I have no idea how good it is, but find it interesting.

What do you guys think of it (say vs. Dreamweaver)?

Is it worth spending money on?

I have used Dreamweaver before but Expression Web is interesting due to it's (superior?) VS integration.

Has anyone played around with it?

If so, how good/bad is it?

IMHO, Expression Web is basically to build inflated XAML files. That's about it, really.

Recon it's worth a try?

Is it a BIG evolution of Frontpage - a kind of Dreamweaver challenger?

Do yourself a favor and stay away from the internet. If you're looking at Dreamweaver and Frontpage..... *shudders*

Pirate VS.NET Professional or something

...OR just go with Visual Web Developer. It will give a nice foundation for Web Development, Microsoft style.

I am. Got VS 2008 Prof. from a (dead-end) hush-hush source...


It's just I would like to try other things as well.

Umbraco is a waaaaaaay better (open source) .NET CMS package than DNN, imho. Try it!
