      Adobe Dreamweaver is a web design and development application that provides a visual WYSIWYG editor (colloquially referred to as WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET) and a standard code editor with features such as syntax highlighting, code completion, and code collapsing as well as more sophisticated features such as real-time syntax checking and code introspection for generating code hints so as to assist the user in writing any code.Adobe Dreamweaver is available for both OS X and Windows.

     The Design view allows rapid layout design and code generation as it allows users to quickly create and manipulate the layout elements of HTML.Dreamweaver features an integrated browser for previewing developed webpages in the its's own preview pane in addition to allowing content to be opened web browsers installed locally.

     Dreamweaver can also use third-party "Extensions" to extend core functionality of the application, which any web developer can code (mostly in HTML and JavaScript). Dreamweaver is supported by a large community of developers who make various extensions available (both commercial and free) for most web development tasks from simple rollover effects to full-featured shopping carts.

     Dreamweaver, like any other HTML editors, edits all of the files locally then uploads them to the remote web server using FTP, SFTP, or WebDAV protocols. Dreamweaver CS4 now also supports the Subversion (SVN) control system.
