[Ti] Web site management with TiBook

[Ron Woodland]

Dreamweaver is far and away the best web site management tool.  Adobe 
GoLive is good, but not ready for prime time.  The added bonus is that 
Dreamweaver (and GoLive, too) allows and supports the use of open source 
web site development tools -- PHP, MySQL, xml, etc.

On the other hand, MS FrontPage is a joke.  To get the same abilities 
availabile via open source, FrontPage requires proprietary code be 
installed on the server for all the "special" features in FrontPage to 
work.  The problem with that is Microsoft's legendary (and criminal?) 
lack of security.  By that I mean, an otherwise secure server suddenly 
turns into a security sieve as soon as you install any of the FrontPage 
enhancements.  Trust me, I've been burned once ...that's all it took to 
switch.
