Good luck!
]]>What would be best to learn from? DW or EW? My main focus is on making the sites interactive.
Thanks.

In terms of code completion … I cannot say.

]]>My school, as a Microsoft training vendor, has made Expressions Studio available. I’m about to take my last programming class focusing on advanced features of ASP.net and the instructor is essentially treating this as a capstone. He asked our input concerning what we’d like to see in this course. I’ve briefly explored Expressions Web 2 and learned a little about how it works ASP.net, so I recommended we spend some time going over it.
Anyone have any recommendations about Expressions Web 2 as a development tool, especially in regards to ASP.net? More specifically: do you have any experiences or suggestions that would be helpful in understanding how Expressions Web 2 and ASP.net work together and what would be useful to focus on in a class?
(BTW Stefan: your articles on Web Business has really reinforced and encouraged my desire to form my own Web/Graphic Design Team. Thank You.)
]]>Regarding your question above “How are you guys using this to transmit your files to your server or web host?” you don’t have to use Expression Web 2 to transfer the files you produce with it, just use any FTP client that supports FTP over SSL to connect to your web host or server and browse to the files you generated with Expression Web 2.
]]>Dreamweaver CS4 (the latest version as of 2009) has removed its’ support of ASP.net. So that would suggest to me that the answer to your question is no. You can read about Dreamweaver CS4:

It probably makes sense to look at Expression Web if your backend is ASP.net. Much in the same way, if you were working with ColdFusion (Adobe’s asp.net) it would make sense to look to Dreamweaver.
