ADOBE GOLIVE
Adobe GoLive is an HTML editor and web site management application from Adobe Systems. It replaced Adobe PageMill as Adobe's primary HTML editor. The latest version of Adobe GoLive is version 9, which is not integrated as part of Adobe Creative Suite 3.
Adobe GoLive originated as CyberStudio, the flagship product of a company named GoLive Systems, Inc. then based in Hamburg, Germany. Adobe purchased GoLive in 1999 and re-branded the GoLive CyberStudio product to what is now Adobe GoLive. The first versions of Dreamweaver and Cyberstudio were released in a similar timeframe. However, possibly because Dreamweaver was available on the dominant Microsoft Windows platform whereas Cyberstudio was Mac-only until the release of GoLive 4 in 1999 by Adobe, Dreamweaver eventually became the dominant HTML editor in both market and mindshare.
Adobe CS2.3 Premium contains both GoLive CS2 and Dreamweaver 8. While Creative Suite 3 integrates Dreamweaver as a replacement for GoLive, Adobe has released GoLive 9 as a standalone product.[2]The GoLive homepage does not indicate that Adobe is abandoning the product, but does encourage users to switch to Dreamweaver.
GoLive is praised by its users for its largely modeless workflow where most interaction is via a contextual inspector rather than via modal dialogs. Many users find this preferable to the heavily modal workflow of Dreamweaver. GoLive also relies heavily on drag-and-drop, perhaps due to its roots in the Mac operating system environment where this usage pattern is common. Among its features are a separate editor for tables that supports nesting, and a two-dimensional panel for applying CSS styles to elements. Testament to Adobe's commitment to interoperability among its applications, GoLive supports drag-and-drop of native Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator files via what the company calls "Smart Objects", which then automatically guide the user through saving those files in web-supported formats. Updates to the original Photoshop or Illustrator assets are automatically tracked by GoLive. As a web site management tool, GoLive allows users to transfer and publish content directly from within the application, and allows individual files to be excluded from uploading.
