Lately I’ve fielded a lot of questions from people considering upgrading from Dreamweaver 8 (CS2) to Dreamweaver CS4. While it’s fairly easy to find information about the incremental updates: from DW8 to CS3 and from CS3 to CS4 (links at the end of this post) I haven’t found a source that offers an overview of what’s in store if you make the leap from 8 directly to CS4. So I’ve put together a quick overview with some brief comments of the features that await you at the end of the DW8 to DWCS4 upgrade process.
Should you upgrade from Dreamweaver 8 to CS3?
In a word, YES. You’ll get the benefit of two excellent updates, an improved UI and access to “modern” web technologies like CSS and AJAX.
Dreamweaver CS4 is available at an academic discount price of $199
