HotHTML™ 3 Professional 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, CSS, PHP, ASP.NET etc) and non-web development platforms (Eg. Java, C#, VB, C/C++), HotHTML 3 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 3 IDE (C#, Java etc).
