Pro web development app?

Hi all,
I see that Apple has pro photo, video, and audio applications. What about pro a web site development app? Is there a DreamWeaver CS3 like app from Apple? Yes, I know there is a version of DW CS3 for OSX. But is DW my only choice?
I'll be buying a Mac Pro in a couple of months. I plan to get Aperture (hopefully v2 if released) with it. I've been using DW under WinXP since v5 and really like the product. Currently, I am using DW8. Instead of upgrading to the Windows version of DW CS3, I plan to upgrade to the OSX version.
Right now, I am checking my options. Aperture integration would be nice. What do Mac users use for professional web site development?
Thanks,
Steven

While DW is the usual choice given its wide popularity among both Windows and OSX users, there are other choices. Perhaps the most comprehensive Mac only product is Freeway by softpress.com. It is a British product, generally good. It has PHP integration at least to some extent. I've used it and find it generally works well. Apple does not have a web page creation app.

  • Recommend web development app

    Hi All,
    Though I have an aging G3 iMac, I don't really consider myself a Mac guy. I run a design and development studio and run all PC's. My computers are getting near to end of life and I have to start investing in new hardware and would like to do a slow switchover to Mac's.
    The one thing that has stood in my way is that I use a product called HomeSite for web development and encourage my employees to do the same. It's a true html editor in that it's not WYSIWYG, but color codes standard html, php, asp, and javascript (all of which we develop in regularly); and has a full complement of standard tag buttons and allows for custom made ones as well. The color coding may seem like fluff, but HomeSite recognizes standard language functions, as well as custom ones and it can help in coding and debugging. Basically, if you write a PHP variable and don't precede it with a dollar sign, it doesn't change to bold blue and you know you did something wrong.
    So, if I can find an editor that has all the functionality of HomeSite for the Mac, I'm ready to switch. However, I'm not having much luck in finding an app. On Linux, there's Quanta for the KDE desktop, which is customizable and would probably work. Is it possible to get a KDE app running on X?
    Anyway, I'd appreciate any advice on where to look for editors and recommendations.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    theKompany.com sells Quanta GOLD for mac.

    I have successfully transitioned to Mac. I use Zend Studio for (X)HTML/PHP/MySQL development. I know you can run X11 apps but not sure if you can run Quanta.

  • What is needed in a Mac Pro to start developing APPs?

    I am looking for information on what Mac Pro (processor speed, memory, and storage capacity) is needed to start developing APPs.  In addition, I would like my Mac Pro be viable for the next three years as I learn how to use the system to build APPs and learn basic applications to build APPs as I anticipating changes in the iOS system and programs like Mountain Lion that could use more memory and storage capacity.  I am beginning this journey and like to know what system would best fit my needs as Apple continues to progress in their technologies.  What should I get in a Mac Pro with 8GB or 16GB, i5 or i7 processor, 256GB or 512GB storage, and 13 in. 2.8GHz or 15 in. 2.5 GHz?
    Thank You

    You could buy a new MacBook Air every two years and still come out ahead of what a base Mac Pro costs.
    A Mac Pro is not going to go out of style in 4 years.
    laptops or their parts are not upgradeable and do tend to fail a bit more. And some of those systems limit you to 16GB RAM but they do have (slower) M.2 SSDs (400 or 700MB/sec vs 1200-1400MB/sec) SSD blades.
    If you want to run lots of code and VMs then maybe by accident you are in the right place

  • MacBook Pro for Web Develop/Photographer

    I'm a student and I am travel photographer and web developer.I'm looking at buying a 13" Macbook Pro w/o Retina, however, I'm having trouble figuring out what configuration I need. Unfortunately, I know more about the web than I do about the inner workings of a computer. So I would love some suggestions on what to get for the processor and RAM storage.
    The MacBook is going to act as my travel work laptop and it will go with me everywhere, cross country and overseas. It will be a place to offload my photos to Lightroom and do basic checking and editing. Video editing is going to occur very often. I'm also going to be using it as one of the main place for coding and designing websites
    I would be running the following programs on it:
    Adobe Lightroom
    Adobe Fireworks(Or a similar program)
    Adobe Photoshop (Or a similar program)
    Adobe Premiere Pro (Or a similar program)
    MAMP
    Itunes
    Multiple Browser
    Text Editor
    It would also be nice to have the option to add space if I would need to.
    So what is the best set up for what I need? Should I get an I5 or I7 processor? What amount of memory should I get? What type of hard drive would be the best?
    And is there anything else you suggest for me to get?
    Also, would refurbished be a good option?
    And don't just say get this. Please give me a reason as to why.
    Thanks so much.

    I'd be curious to know what "issues" you think there are with the Retina MBPs. But at any rate, if you want the non-retina model I'd suggest you upgrade it to 8GB of RAM (more RAM is always better) and at least the 256 GB SSD. I also agree with Andy on using external HDDs for additional storage.
    I am in a similar situation as you. I will be buying a new MBP later this year to replace my early-2011 15" MBP. I'm going to with the top model of 13" MBPr and will have additional external HDDs for backup and file storage. I don't do web development but I am an amateur photographer.
    I can't stress this enough: do not forget the external HDDs for backups. Having current Time Machine backups will be critical in case of an emergency. Having an SSD in the MBP will dramatically reduce the possiblity of losing data but having backups is still important.

  • HTML5 Web/Mobile App Development

    Hi Friends,
    Can anyone say what are the combinations available in html5 web/mobile app development like html5+JS ?

    Here we will discuss the basics of HTML5 document. Today HTML5 is one of the most exciting buzz in web circles. Actaully HTML5 is the new standard for HTML.
    it is still a work in progress. However, the major browsers support many of the new HTML5 elements and APIs but not all.
    Rules for HTML5:
    New features of HTML5 should be based on HTML, CSS, DOM, and JavaScript
    Reduce the need for external plugins (like Flash)
    Better error handling
    More markup to replace scripting
    HTML5 should be device independent
    The development process should be visible to the public

  • Deployment of Flex app to web and app server

    Hi
    I'm working on putting a Flex front-end on an existing J2EE
    app which gets deployed as an ear file. The architecture consists
    of web server, app server and database server. Is the following
    approach to deployment possible / recommended?
    My Flex app will be deployed to the web server. The J2EE ear
    file will be deployed to the app server (Weblogic). BlazeDS will be
    bundled within the ear file as a war file. Remote Objects will be
    configured in my BlazeDS configuration files to enable me to access
    the code in my J2EE app. In the compiler options of my Flex app,
    I'll be setting the server root folder and server root URL to point
    to the BlazeDS war file on my app server.
    At present I'm at the stage where I can run my Flex app
    directly from Flex builder on my development PC and it's able to
    connect tto the J2EE app, which is running on the app server
    (Weblogic) also on my development PC. I can't find documentation
    explaining how to extend this to work on a multi-tier architecture.
    Thanks

    What antivirus protection should I purchase for my MacBook Pro? MacSecurity.app appeared on my desktop, and I downloaded that. Since then, it has said my computer is infected and pop-ups have been appearing.

    You've been infected by a scam trojan.  You don't need any anti-virus software on your Mac.  See the following about getting rid of the trojan.
    Trojan War
    If you discover a trojan program is running on your computer then look to the following information for assistance:
    1. A recent discussion on the Apple Support Communities: MacDefender Trojan.
    2. An excellent site devoted to Mac Malware: Macintosh Virus Guide
    3. Another site for removing MacDefende, et.al.: MAC Defender Rogue Anti-Virus analysis and Removal
    4. A new removal utility - MacDefenderKiller
    Removing strange software can be a task.  The following outlines various ways of uninstalling software:
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a Startup item or a Log In item.  Startup items are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the Delete [-] button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead.  Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Note that you must have this software installed before you install software you may need to uninstall.  Uninstallers won't work if you install them after the fact.  Here is a selection:
    AppZapper
    Automaton
    Hazel
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them and others at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on removing software and dealing with spyware and malware.
    After removing all the components of the software you may have to restart the computer to fully disable the software.  This will be the case when removing software that has installed a daemon.  After the daemon has been removed you need to restart the computer to stop the daemon.  Alternatively, you can kill the daemon process using the Terminal application or Activity Monitor.

  • Hostnames with local web development environment

    I'm running the latest version of OS X Server 2.0.23 on Mountain Lion 10.8.2, and am trying to get set up to use X Server as a local web development environment.
    When I went through the steps of installing X Server, I used the hostname "jb.local". By enabling the websites feature, and pointing my browser to jb.local, I was able to see the default welcome page, and thought everything was going well. However, I can't figure out how to add additional hosts to this domain (i.e. drupal.local, or wordpress.local) without modifying my hosts file.
    Do I now need to setup DNS in the server and set my Mountain Lion client to use it or something, or is there some better way that I'm missing?

    When I was installing Server, it guessed the .local extension, (which we are using as the name of our local subnet) but not the whole hostname "jb.local". I added that myself. This machine is not registered as "jb.local" anywhere in our internal DNS.
    This confuses me because pinging jb.local correctly resolves to the internal IP address of this machine on our network. So how is this resolving?  There is no entry for this in my hosts file, and our internal DNS has no record of the hostname "jb.local".
    This hostname was invented during the installation of the Server app, so there must be some communication between this machine, and the server app, that is resolving this hostname correctly, but I can't find anything on it.

  • Java Signing issues when loading web start app

    Hey, not sure if this is the correct place for this - but couldn't think where else to put it...
    I'm a bit stuck at the moment and i wondered if anyone could shed some light on my problem, and where I might go from here.
    We've developed a EJB3 application that has a web start UI for users to start... The application is developed in Eclipse and compiled and deployed with ant build scripts... When we deploy the application from within Eclipse everything runs smoothly and users are able to start the web start app without any problems... However I've recently tried setting up a Continuous Integration server (Hudson) for us to test new deploys on and for this our build scripts need to be run outside of Eclipse...
    This appears to run without a problem, however each time the system is deployed from here the web start application fails to start because web start cannot verify the signing in the client jar
    Could not verify signing in resource: http://10.39.216.5:8080/mist2/lib/mist2-client.jarAs far as I can tell from the output of the build everything goes according to plan and there is little difference between the output if the build had been started in eclipse... The only big difference is that when building in Eclipse the build only packs up the compiled code, because Eclipse auto build the application, whereas in Hudson the code is clean built using the ant scripts (which are created by Eclipse)... and if I turn autobuild off eclipse and build the project from scratch using only the build scripts then the same problem arises...
    I'm not really an expert on jar signing so I can't really guess at what might cause the verification to fail... any hints would be much appreciated. It feels like there is something that the Eclipse compiler does that is missing from the scripts but I can't think what this might be as the scripts are created in Eclipse
    Thanks
    Alex

    Alex,
    I believe your problem might be similar to one I had. According to one forum response (of course I can't find it now), if you have third-party JARs in your application (which in your case would be any eclipse jars), they might already be signed by their originators (as are eclipse jars), which may cause some really strange errors.
    The solution for me was to package my third-party (that is, eclipse) jars into their own feature, separate from my application's feature. So, my main jnlp file has an extension to my application's feature jnlp, and that feature's jnlp file has an extension to yet another jnlp file containing the list of third-party (eclipse) jars. Of course, your jar list will probably be different than mine.
    Here's all three files. Hope this helps!!

  • Visual Web Developer 2010 Express and Oracle ODAC - Oracle data provider

    system - xp pro
    Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2010 Express and Oracle ODAC112021.
    I can't seem to get the ODAC to work correctly with the Web Developer Express. When putting in a gridview I only see the standard adapters. The one from Oracle does not appear. I have spent days trying to figure out why but no luck. No one else seems to have this problem. I do not see any errors when I installed the ODAC. I've followed a few tutorials.

    and

    I tried using the Windows adapters but they just don't seem to work. I can get results in the query builder but when I go to the next step in the wizard I get the constraints error. I've done all the research on that with no luck so I wanted to use the ODAC. This killing me! This really shouldn't be that hard. I've added the dll to the references but again it's just not an option. If anyone could give me a little direction that would be great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Thank you

    Dear Friends,
    Installing SP1 and updates to it solved the first issue. So the database now seems to be of type 2008 R2.
    Deleting some files solved the second issue.
    However, another issue remains.
    My most important projects were created with a version of VWDX 2010 that was downloaded from Microsoft and installed on July 3, 2012. This version of VWDX has now been lost, because my hard drive recently ceased to function and had to be replaced.
    On the new hard drive I have a version of VWDX 2010 that was downloaded yesterday (May 28, 2014). As indicated above, I also installed SP1 and related updates.
    When I load a project that was created in the version of VWDX 2010 that was installed almost two years ago and try to open the database connection, I get, in essence, the following error message:
    "The database C:\Users\...\Database.mdf cannot be opened, because it is version 661. This server supports version 655 and earlier. A downgrade path is not supported."
    So it seems that the original database version was 661, whereas the version downloaded yesterday is 655. It seems very strange that a version downloaded now should be earlier than a version downloaded two years ago. Does anyone have an explanation or a solution?
    Thank you all for your trouble, and best regards.

    P.S. The site from which I obtained VWDX yesterday was:
    www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/visual-web-developer-express and the executive was called VWD2010SP1AzurePack.exe.
