Ok, let me begin by saying that web technology will always outpace you – always! So save yourself some time and headaches and stick to what you need to get the job done. Over the years, I have seen software programs and languages come and go but in the end, it seems like I always find myself going back to the old reliable, tried and true programs that have served me well.
Everyone in the web industry is brainwashed by big marketing budgets from Microsoft, Adobe, etc. that they need to have the latest versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Flash, etc. Don’t believe it. Unless the program has made MAJOR improvements to its functionality, ignore the need to upgrade every time a new release comes out. After all, if the finished product looks and functions just the same using your trusted old software as it would if you had used an inflated new program, do you really think your client is going to care?
