Asp4Hs: ASP/PHP/.Net/etc Development Extensions for HomeSite
Do you use the HomeSite Editor to do ASP, PHP or ASP.Net?
Are you a HomeSite user and just getting into ASP, PHP or ASP.Net work?
If so, this site is for you...
Most hype aside, the HomeSite
editor is a great tool for web development in HTML,
Active Server Pages (ASP), .Net, PHP, XML, XSL, XSLT, SQL, Ruby, Ruby on Rails,
Tridion CMS, and other languages. It's probably the most popular
code-based editor
for any sort of web page and scripting web technologies are no exception.
It can, however, use some help. Luckily it was designed from the start
with user extension and customizability as a priority and many users have come
up with their own add-on's to make HS a better tool.
So, Asp4Hs is here to provide help and to list the various extensions for HomeSite for ASP, .Net, PHP, XML, XSLT, or whatever language or technology or CMS you are using it for... I'm also hoping to encourage you all to communicate more with each other and to share those add-on's and ideas we've all come up with to make our coding easier... -- Jeff Wilkinson

3/05: SuperLinks 1.0 Released
Kindler Chase of ncubed has just released an excellent tool for websites with ASP and links lists. It makes editing, categorizing and maintaining lists of links on a website quick and easy. Link data is stored in an XML database file and maintained via a powerful, yet easy-to-use admin interface. Simple to customize to the look of your own site. Let your customers edit their own links instead of calling you.
I really can't recommend it strongly enough. Try it. You'll see.
I've been using it here on my site for months now.
(I know this isn't Homesite-related, but it's something I helped beta-test that I think is probably of interest to many of you ASP coders and webmasters.)
8/04: Be sure to welcome Carl McDade and Brett Errington as new members of Team Macromedia for HomeSite. Team Macromedia is a group of volunteers that participate in the forums and blogs, publish content to the MM developer center, speak at user groups and conferences, etc. If you are a 'power HomeSite user' and enjoy helping other users, please consider joining. To do so, email teammacromedia@macromedia.com.
Remember: The fundamental idea of Asp4Hs is to Exchange help and HS add-on's. So please think about whether you have anything, even requests or ideas, that might help others... and send 'em in...
