Quoi de neuf dans Expression Web 3

Notes de l'éditeur

• #5: Professional code editor speeds developmentIntellisense and color-coding for HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP make your editing and debugging more productive. And real-time standards validation provides instant feedback on standards issues so you can make corrections as you code. Choose any schema you want – HTML, XHTML, Strict/Transitional/Frameset and CSS 1.0, 3.0, or 3.1 - Expression Web 3 will help you build appropriate code with a compatibility checker that highlights non-conforming elements.Preview ASP.NET & PHP pages with the included development server on installed versions of IE 6 – 8 and FF. No need to publish your page to a Web server to preview it.

• #7: SuperPreview provides cross-browser visual diagnosticsDebug your pages in multiple browsers on the same machine that you use for development, with SuperPreview. SuperPreview is a visual debugging tool that helps you visualize and understand how pages display on multiple browsers, including IE6 - 8 and Firefox. You can even overlay your page on top of your Photoshop comp to verify your coding.There are three steps a dev goes through to address cross-browsers issues:Determine if there is a problem (get an image of the page on various browsers). Both browserlabs and SuperPreview do this.Find the element that is causing a problem (e.g., what is the element’s name? what tags? Etc. ) Browserlabs won’t do this for you.Fix it in the code (xWeb helps you find it in the code because we give you the DOM information)SuperPreview runs locally (it’s not a Web service), so you don’t have to wait for your pages to be rendered by a service and have the images returned to you. In addition, SuperPreview identifies the problem element and it’s properties in your code so you can fix the error quicker (e.g., it’s not just an image of the page, but includes DOM tree information as well as element size, location, style, etc.)IE6 rendering engine is included in SuperPreview so you don’t to install it on your machine. In order to get IE7, 8, and FF, each of these must be installed on the machine.

• #9: Snapshot Preview saves debugging timeSnapshot Preview provides a high-fidelity browser preview that updates live as you edit your code, saving you the time and effort of loading the page in a browser for each code change.Works with IEx and Firefox when these browsers are installed locally. (IE6 doesn’t need to be installed as the IE6 rendering engine is included with Expression Web to support SuperPreview.)You can choose which browser and resolution for that browser.

• #11: ASP.NET & PHP Development ServerPreview ASP.NET and PHP pages locally, without the need to install a separate Web server. With the Expression Web Development Server, you can make design decisions with full reference to the page's data.Expression Web ships with a PHP development server that lets you test your PHP pages without any other external web server dependencies (e.g. IIS or Apache).Preview PHP PagesAll you need to do is specify the location on your hard disk of the PHP runtime to use for processing PHP content in your web pages. But the real strength of EW2's built-in web server is its integration with different browsers. When you select Preview in Browser from the EW2 menu, you are presented with the choice of various browsers—including browsers preconfigured to different window sizes—in which to view your page.

There are the expected productivity features such as code-coloring, snippets and IntelliSense™, but it doesn’t stop there. The product now ships with a PHP development server that lets you test your PHP pages without any other external web server dependencies (e.g. IIS or Apache). Essentially, PHP is now a first-class citizen in Expression Web, and will continue to be in upcoming versions of the product. Expression Web supports PHP 5.2.5 and Fast CGI with IIS 6 and 7. Code editor supportIntelliSense is especially helpful for built in PHP functions since it will show the list of required parameters along with their appropriate data types. Color coding of PHP code makes it easier to edit and PHP snippets represent common PHP code items which can be inserted into your PHP document simply by selecting them from a menu list. For example, EW can write for you the entire PHP include if you choose it from the Insert menu and then navigate to the file which you want to include.PHP includesNow you can preview includes on the design surface of Expression Web so you can see how your page will render.

• #37: New price to make Expression Web more broadly available. Former price was $299 Full product.Note that this price is less than 50% of Dreamweaver’s listed price (DW is $399 full, $199 upgrade). Dreamweaver, as a stand alone product, doesn’t include any added-value professional applications as Expression Web does. Expression Web includes two full professional products:Microsoft® Expression® Design 3 is the perfect companion to Expression Web. Leverage existing artwork, or use intuitive drawing tools to quickly build sophisticated vector assets. Seamlessly transfer them to your Expression Web projects knowing that their fidelity will be maintained throughout the entire designer-developer workflow. Microsoft® Expression® Encoder 3 encodes a wide array of video file formats so you can stream live video from webcams and camcorders or screen capture your PC. Make simple edits to video files and enhance your media with overlays and advertising. Choose encoding settings, choose from a range of player templates and publish rich media experiences with Microsoft Silverlight. While Expression Encoder is a stand-alone product, it is also integrated with Expression Web so that you can easily insert and encode Silverlight video directly into your Web pages.To achieve similar functionality with Adobe products, user would have to buy Illustrator + Premiere or Flash (to get an encoder) for $1,298 full and $398 upgrade. Alternatively, user could buy Creative Suite Web Premium or Standard for $999/$1,699 full and $399/$599 upgrade, but they would still need to buy a video encoder.General availability of English product will be in mid Summer, 2009. Localized products should be available within 60 days of US general availability.
