It looks like Microsoft is abandoning the Expression Web software and version 4 is even downloadable for free from them.  Is this product still worth having?  Are you transitioning to something else like Dreamweaver?  Can we still function with EW4 without issue?  Thanks for your advice on this topic.

In December, Microsoft announced that they're discontinuing Expression Studio. They've made Expression Web a free download, but are not going to continue to support it. Looks like they're going to wrap "professional quality" web design into Visual Studio, and leave Expression Web available for everyone else.

Honestly, I haven't fully decided what to do about this as far as my tutorials go. Personally, I still use FrontPage 2003, ASP, and JavaScript for my web sites. Works great for me. But then again, I like old-school HTML and getting my hands dirty writing code. Yes, I need to bring my lessons up to date with some HTML5 and CSS3.

I'll probably put together a simple beginner tutorial for the free Expression Web that's available at the time I get to it. After that, I'll make some advanced web classes for Visual Studio. However, that's going to be a ways off. I'm going to be busy all summer just with the Office 2013 classes I have planned. I'll see what the current state of affairs is when I get to it.
