XSitePro
Submitted by wilsonca on Mon, 10/01/2007 - 18:04.
I was browsing through the online version of HPAM and discovered that your recommendation of XSitePro was not included whereas in the ebook that I downloaded Friday it was.
Is the recommendation for XSitePro an addition in the ebook, or is the deletion of XSitePro in the online version of HPAM intended?
I have been a happy user of XSP and find it to be a real boon for people like myself who know little HTML, web design, etc. I tried a few years ago to use Dreamweaver and FrontPage but found them way too complicated for me, and I didn't want to particularly learn any more HTML than I had to.

It is funny, why this question is being asked in the first place?
are you from xsp? :)
Anyway, is xsp good? perform datafeed? I like frontpage but not every servers support the upload part of frontpage.
No, I'm not from XSP, but I really like the program. It is so easy to work with. It does have some limitations and some quirks, but for the kind of work I can do, it does just fine. If you're knowledegable in HTML, you can do even more.
I have never worked with datafeeds, but I know that other people who have XSP do have datafeed on their sites. It also works with aFrames. There is much more to it than I have knowledge of just because my knowledge of web site building is so limited.
There is a new version of the program soon to come out. The developers are promising an "awesome" update with a ton of new features. They have been working on it for over a year now. It is still in beta testing, but we expect it to arrive by Christmas. If it's as good as they claim, it will be quite a Christmas present.
The online version of the book is out of date. The PDF is current. I didn't review XSP before I went to print (figuratively speaking) the first time around.
I still use Dreamweaver because I'm very comfortable with it, but I think XSP is a nice alternative.
