The History of UltraDev

UltraDev 4 is a result of the combination of features found in two products from Macromedia’s line of Web development software: Dreamweaver and Drumbeat 2000. Whereas Dreamweaver provided the foundation for UltraDev’s HTML authoring capabilities, Drumbeat gave UltraDev the capability to easily connect with databases and generate dynamic Web pages on a variety of platforms.

It All Began with Dreamweaver

In 1997, Macromedia released Dreamweaver 1.0. It was one of the most powerful WYSIWYG HTML authoring tools. Dreamweaver combined the power of cross-browser HTML authoring with the capabilities of creating dynamic behaviors using scripting languages like JavaScript.
