11 Open Source Software

In class we were talking about different types of open source software. While researching for my project on websites, I came acoss Nvu 1.0. Nvu 1.o is a free software download. It is for very basic web design for Windows, Mac and Linux and is available to anyone for download. It is based on Mozilla Composer, and lets users create quick and easy websites, without having to know HTML. The software ALOS includes some more options like JavaScript coding and CSS support. Tech support and documentation are common weaknesses for Nvu. There is a forum for posting questions to other users. You will still need a hosting service to post your website. Some features include WYSIWYG editing of pages, and makes web creation as easy as typing a letter with your word processor. It includes integrated file management via FTP. You just have to login to your web site and navigate through your files, editing web pages directly from your site. There is reliable HTML code creation that will work with all of today's most popular browsers. You can jump between WYSIWYG Editing Mode and HTML using tabs because tabbed editing to makes it easy to work on several pages at once. There is support for forms, tables, and templates. It is the easiest-to-use, most powerful Web Authoring System available for Desktop Linux, Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh users.
