Hi,
The company has a new client, it has sent us an excel database file and and old access application which wants completely renew, rebuilt it from zero according
to cloud computing new technologies.
There�s a small team in the company which has develop similar solutions using just Dreamweaver CS 5 as framework, with javascript,jquery,php etc..
It�s a simply cloud computing application which has buttons on main page by different users,
menu with buttons which lead on different pages with list boxes etc..
I used Dreamweaver in the year 2004, I think even CS was released yet, so my memories about
it are like an old software which allow you to create frames, create an html structure and no much more, so the question is :
�it is Dreamweaver CS 5 reliable to develop an cloud computing application or which software would you recommend?
Thank you very much in advance

that would be an option, but there´re some screens which shows lot of information with small textareas,forms etc.. in html terms I think I mean a page with many divs and from my experience CCS forms are quire big occuping considerable space on a page, so maybe i´d have troubles adjusting the pages, I still don´t think as a designer so this is my hardest difficulty.
Thank you for your suggestion, so much appreciate it.

Sounds like it needs a reorganization...perhaps use Javascript Accordion widget to hide/show some features.. maybe FancyBox calls to some forms in a modal window?

I´ve been checking out Dreamweaver CS5.5 these last days,
seems to work like CodeCharge, it has a form toolbox, server side events,
it can run under any Apache server and connect to Mysql Databases,
I´ve set it up to run under Xampp with Apache server and PHPMyAdmin
but fix better to design complex applications placing with divs everything you need,
it´s not 100% a Rad like CodeCharge but seems I´ll feel fine on this project,
about the client side programmation Javascript,Ajax,Jquery I´ll take care about that.
I´ll keep on my the suggestion.

Hello CodeChargeMVP,
I would not go with Dreamweaver, I would do:
1.- Based on the customer needs, and if it is complex, I would create the EER model with this nice tool:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/workbench/en/index.html
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/workbench/en/wb-data-modeling.html
2.- I would generate with same tool all the tables structure of the DB,
3.- With phpMyAdmin I would load the DB to the development server,
4.- With CCS 5 Application Builder I would create all the application in a breeze,
5.- With CCS 5 I would change all the blocks that needs a special functionality not obtained with the Application Builder,
6.- In the CCS 5 project I would include all the tools needed to optimize the display of the data in a compact and user friendly way, I would suggest to incorporate jQuery Tools Library to the components generated by CCS 5.
6.1 jQuery Tools Library: http://flowplayer.org/tools/
7.- Test
Hope this help,
Best regards
joejac

Hi JoeJac,
you described pretty well the steps which should be followed on a new tool development,
but unfortunately this project has been delayed due to customer reasons.
Thank you for your post.

The new version of Navicat has a nice EER data modelling tool although the mysql workbench one is free!
