Macromedia Fireworks

Macromedia Fireworks can quickly create Web-ready graphics, basic Web animation using tweening, JavaScript rollovers, and sliced graphics. It also has some great optimization abilities. Fireworks 4 boasts several cool new features.

Fireworks strives to be a one-stop shopping graphics program for Web developers - integrating the basics of HTML code, JavaScript, vector and bitmapped graphics, and animation. In some ways it is successful; no other single program offers such nice scripting features coupled with such a friendly drawing environment. But Fireworks doesn't replace the need for the other graphics, Web editing, and animation programs out there; you'll still need to learn Flash, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, and Illustrator. In fact, a thorough understanding of these programs renders Fireworks almost completely superfluous. It's a good tool for beginners and can be very useful for making quick graphics and sliced images. Plus, the added integration with Dreamweaver certainly adds to its appeal.
