Well, when I purchased my copy I was actually in full time education... I'm not now, but I don't see any problem using the software still. I did have to get a signed letter and stuff sent of to adobe before they would give me the key though, so I'm not kidding when you need a student to buy it for you.
Yeah certain places require you to purchase the software online using your college/uni network, that's a PITA.
Not to derail the thread - but we're using Expression web at work and I like it a lot. I use Dreamweaver at home, but am tempted to purchase a copy of Expression, if only it supported PHP too. Of all the Microsoft products, it's the most impressive I've come across - and a real contender to Dreamweaver's throne.
Its not that i have anything against it, its just i was taught how to use notepad to make web pages by my brother when i was 6 and its all i've used since. Infact, im faster in notepad in my web dev III class than the kids who use dreamweaver. I blame it on the slow computers. Heres my latest notepad creation for my final project. Keep in mind its not done yet but its formated in only css loads the style sheet externally, all done in notepad (all the graphics were done in photoshop and then sliced up for faster load times. I know there are better layouts, designs and coders but I rather like how this is turning out in only the couple hours that i have worked on it. http://dan.guitartabs.com/tom/webfinal/
Surely, doing the image map is faster in Dreamweaver? By the by, I'd advise against using image maps. They are not good. You could use a simple unordered list and some CSS to achieve the same effect with less code.
Yeah the image map is dreamweaver-esque but i figured out the numbers by hand so to speak. (I know its alot faster in dreamweaver, but it runs like **** on the computers at school so i dont even open it) As I said before, its not the final site yet, and im sure i will have time to go back and ditch the image maps. They are in there at the moment as a back up incase i dont have time to go back and fix it.
