Dreamweaver?

[RichardE]

So I am going to start coding/making a site, I have gone through the HTML tutorial at w3. Was thinking of going through the CSS and Javascript, but after that, what would be the best program to use?

if you're hand-coding, all you need is notepad.

I am learning the code so I can recognize it, and be able to fix problems, I think it will be faster to use a program to do the actual site creation.

No WYSIWIG program can beat hand-coding, especially if you throw CSS and Javascript in the mix.

Using notepad is highly inefficient, but you'll be fine with any other text editor that has syntax highlighting, like Notepad2, Textpad, Ultraedit etc

textpad is my favorite coding piece of software.

I like Dreamweaver, though to be honest I use it mostly as an HTML/PHP coding enhanced version of Notepad. I tend to hand-write my code, but I find Dreamweaver great for helping fix/find mistakes, the site-wide find and replace is awesome, and a lot of smaller site-managment features are nice. I also like HomeSite, also by macromedia, though since I moved to PHP I moved on to DW.
