Drupal
An excellent publishing platform considered a little bit harder to learn than some, but worth the result.
Drupal.org is the official website of Drupal, an open source content management platform.

Equipped with a powerful blend of features, Drupal supports a variety of websites ranging from personal weblogs to large community-driven websites.

Wordpress
Wordpress is a user friendly way to build your site.
"WordPress admin interface is one of the friendliest around."
Looking for Wordpress themes? Then go to their Theme Viewer:

WordPress is a state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. What a mouthful. WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time.

More simply, WordPress is what you use when you want to work with your blogging software, not fight it.

To get started with WordPress, set it up on a web host for the most flexibility or get a free blog on WordPress.com.

Dreamweaver isn't really a content management system - granted I've never used it - however, Dreamweaver could be used in association with a CMS. For example, you could design a layout for your CMS in Dreamweaver, whereas it is not a CMS in itself - it is a web development application much in the same way as Frontpage.

Aptana Studio Community Edition 1.0
Aptana is an excellent open source (free), cross-platform, text editor.
If learning to code by hand, Aptana will be a great teacher.

Studio Community Edition
Studio Community Edition is a robust, JavaScript-focused environment for building dynamic web applications.
Studio 1.0 Released

We are very proud to have released Aptana Studio 1.0 (formerly Aptana IDE). After over two years of non-stop development and close to a million downloads, we have finally reached "1.0". Along with the release of 1.0, we have also created two editions of the product: Community and Professional. The Community Edition is the keystone of the Studio product, where all core features and capabilities are developed. The Professional Edition brings additional features and services beyond the free Community edition.

Aptana Studio isn't the only product we're working on, and you'll see more from us soon. In the meantime, if you are using Aptana Studio professionally, support our efforts by 'going Pro'. Whichever edition you chose to use, Community or Professional, we look forward to your feedback, feature requests, and comments. It is our community that helps us build a better product -- a product that ultimately is for you.

Aptana Studio 1.0 (formerly Aptana IDE)
*IDE Definition
IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics)
IDE also stands for integrated development environment.


IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) is a standard electronic interface used between a computer motherboard's data paths or bus and the computer's disk storage devices. The IDE interface is based on the IBM PC Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) 16-bit bus standard, but it is also used in computers that use other bus standards. Most computers sold today use an enhanced version of IDE called Enhanced Integrated Drive Electronics (EIDE). In today's computers, the IDE controller is often built into the motherboard.

IDE was adopted as a standard by American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in November, 1990. The ANSI name for IDE is Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA). The IDE (ATA) standard is one of several related standards maintained by the T10 Committee.
