also I hand code things, but I use eclipse with specific editors for html and the language I use, because I like very much the code assist feature. In this way I can write in more languages, the curve of learning for a new language becomes smaller and I can code in what ever language the customer wants. To stick to one technology is limititative and very unmotivating. In my work I choose the technology after I see the requirements and I choose it according to the requirements. Also I have made projects with a mixture of technologies and languages. As an ide I use mostly eclipse. ----- Original Message ----- From: "D!J!X!" <megamansuperior@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jawsscripts@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 2010 6:22 AM Subject: [jawsscripts] Re: What web design programs work well with JAWS? >I personally hand code everything, either notePad or TextPad, I use HTML, > XML, JavaScript PHP and ColdFusion.
