Number #1 - Code View

What is it?
The Code View is by far one of the most important tools inside Dreamweaver. The Code View is a window inside Dreamweaver that allows you see your website code. E.g.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>

</body>
</html>

When using in a conversation?
"Show me the Code View!"

How do I use it?
Dreamweaver has two main workspaces in which to work in. One of the best ways to work is using the Code and Design view.

Goto View > Code and Design

On the top window you should be able to see the website code. You should be aware that this is what makes websites function.

When to use it?
Dreamweaver is a great for doing all the coding for you. To be a great web designer there may come a time (and believe me it has happened to me before) where something may not work properly.

When this occurs it is useful to be able to sift through the code and work out where the problem may lie.
