FAQ
What is Adobe® Dreamweaver® Developer Toolbox?
Adobe Dreamweaver Developer Toolbox extends Dreamweaver capabilities by adding a comprehensive set of server behaviors and commands. It helps web designers and developers create dynamic web applications using PHP, ColdFusion®, and ASP VBScript server scripting technologies.
Why is the product being discontinued?
Adobe Dreamweaver Developer Toolbox was introduced to make it easier for some Dreamweaver users to build dynamic web applications and deliver compelling functionality to their customers. It fully supported existing development models and was intuitive enough to be useful to many designers just entering into the web development space. However, it was far from ideal for many reasons, including complexity, intrusiveness, and inability to customize.
The Dreamweaver Developer Toolbox user has always been considered in parallel with the Dreamweaver user. In researching the needs of both user groups, we've learned a great deal about what web development professionals now consider to be best practices for rapid application development and web application prototypes. What we learned made us realize that both the Dreamweaver and Dreamweaver Developer Toolbox roadmaps needed to evolve in order to better address the current development issues faced by our customers.
Therefore, in order to help our web professional customers take advantage of the functionalities brought by the rising use of CMS frameworks and the strong web design capabilities of Dreamweaver, we have decided to focus our efforts on delivering features in Dreamweaver that will help developers easily and quickly integrate, brand, and customize prebuilt components, instead of going through a separate tool.
Will there be any future updates to Adobe Dreamweaver Developer Toolkit?
No further updates are planned at this time.
