RE: Anyone use Frontpage?

Hi

I slightly disagree with Randal about accessibility and usability can be considered as "moot" because they are part and parcel of being a true professional web developer/designer.

However, I totally agree the first steps of that professional is to understand the code not the WYSIWIG, afterall graphic designers don't start on Quark or Indesign.

Accessibility is a moot point here, in my opinion. If the goal is to educate your students so that they can work in a professional environment, then they need to first learn HTML by coding it, and then graduate to a WYSIWYG such as Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver is the professional's choice.
