HotHTML |
=History/Background=
HotHTML is a product created by Thushan Fernando (founder of WebSoftware Systems Australia) in 1998, originally released as a freeware web coding tool (WYSIWYN). In 2000 the original release was updated to HotHTML 2000 with support for a syntax highlighter which recognised HTML and ASP pages. The two releases were not very well distributed on the internet, however in 2001 the release of HotHTML 2001 Professional they added support for Perl and a new GUI and was well adopted. In February 2004 WebSoftware released HotHTML 3 Professional, a major update to the product rewritten from scratch. According to the [http://blogs.developerfusion.co.uk/thushan/ developers blog] the new release of HotHTML is already in development but gives no indication about the expected release dates. This new release is another rewrite of the product in Microsoft .NET 2.0 which is currently still in development by Microsoft Corporation.

=Latest Release=
HotHTML 3 has been designed and developed to provide multi-talented developers a single Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to create, manage and deploy their solutions. Bridging the gap between web development platforms (HTML, Cascading Style Sheets, PHP, ASP.NET etc) and non-web development platforms (Eg. Java programming language, C#, Visual Basic, C/C++), HotHTML allows developers to easily manage the two via features such as SmartPreview which allows you to preview server side documents (such as ASP/Perl/PHP etc) and BuildManager allowing you to build and run compilable languages inside the HotHTML IDE (C#, Java etc).
HotHTML 3 is a HTML editor and text editor rolled into one with a strong focus on web development.
