Chapter 1: Introduction to ultradev

Section 5: Ultradev’s operation interface

Now let me take you through an example to take you step by step into Dreamweaver UltraDev 4. You will find that it is so easy to create dynamic web pages.

First of all, let us take a look at the operation interface of Dreamweaver UltraDev. Here we only introduce the content we will use, and you can slowly ponder the other things that are not introduced.

This is the main interface of Dreamweaver Ultradev. At first glance, it is not much different from Dreamweaver.

This is an interface where the source code and what you see are mutually referenced. You can easily see the code generated by Dreamweaver when you edit, and you can easily learn Html:

This is the interface for editing the source code entirely by hand:

Now, let's look at the specific menu options:

FILE menuEdit menu

Modify menuText menu

Site menuCommand menu

Window View menu

Insert menu

I believe friends who have used Dreamweaver should be familiar with the applications of these menus. The options framed in red are ones we will use frequently in the future. Next, let's take a closer look at the contents of the Insert menu and Window menu.
Insert -> Live Objects Through these options, you can easily insert, update, display and other data operations, as shown in Figure 1-22

Window -> Object This panel integrates the contents of the Insert menu. You can realize various functions in the Insert menu by clicking the icons on the panel. As shown in Figure 1-23

Click the triangle symbol on the Object panel to display these sub-items corresponding to the various contents in the Insert menu.

Window -> Properties Use this panel to define the properties of various elements in the web page, as shown in Figure 1-24

Window -> Behaviors I believe friends who have used Dreamweaver are most familiar with this panel. Through it, we can easily apply various special effects to our web pages. When we talk about plug-in applications later, there are many plug-ins that use this panel.

As shown in Figure 1-25

Window -> Launcher is equivalent to the quick launch bar in Windows. It can quickly and conveniently open the panel you need.

Window -> Reference Any syntax issues with Html or Javascript? Open this panel and you will see it at a glance. Available for you to check at any time.

Next is our best part, the Data Bindings and Server Behaviors panels. Through these two panels, we can realize our dream of developing a fully functional website application without writing program code!

Window -> Data Bindings This panel is used to create record sets. If you don't know what a record set is, it doesn't matter. You can understand it as being used to connect to the database (of course it has more functions than that). After connecting to the database, we Data can now be added, deleted, edited, displayed, etc. Programs such as message boards and surveys that previously required hundreds of lines of code can be created with a flick of a finger. Are you excited to try it? Don't rush, take your time. ^0^

Window -> Server Behaviors It’s not enough to connect to the database. The operations such as adding and deleting data mentioned above are all done in this panel. Have you seen the Insert Record and UpdateRecord options on the panel?

After seeing this, I believe everyone has a certain impression of Dreamweaver Ultradev. Next, we will start creating our own Web applications. Do you feel impatient? (I'll tell you secretly, I couldn't wait after reading Ultradev's help...). Next, we will use a simple user registration example to help you initially learn to use Ultradev's basic functions, such as displaying, adding, deleting, and editing records, as well as creating a simple search engine and a website management backend. But---wait a minute, how can a web application work without a database? So the next content is to teach you how to use Microsoft Access 2000 to create a simple database. The reason for using Access is because it is easier to use and suitable for small and medium-sized applications. I believe that most of my friends have it installed on their machines. Okay, please see the breakdown next time.
