I run on OSX and I don't have Dreamweaver. I use Coda but I need an HTML Source Formatting tool. Is there a web-based tool or other app for me?
I can name a few. When I run OS X, I use (if available):
TextWrangler
TextMate
Kod
If you want a decent online editor, take a look at CodeMirror or JsFiddle. They're definitely worth the 90 seconds to see if it fits your needs and its better than some software editors I've seen. This question also lists more, as does this one. FixMyHtml is good if you need to quickly reformat some code before editing it elsewhere.
Software Editors:
TextMate is amazing, but it's up to you to decide if it's worth 57$ after the free trial. BBEdit is 200$ and isn't as good as TextMate. According to their website:
"What sets BBEdit apart is its extensive professional feature set including Web authoring capabilities and software development tools."
In other words, BBEdit just for HTML editing is probably a bad choice.
Here's some free ones besides Coda that you mentioned:
TextWrangler is good and light-weight. Incidentally it was made by BareBones software, who also make BBEdit.
Kompozer is the newer version of Nvu, but its primarily designed for WYSIWYG. I recall the html editing to be decent though.
Aptana is eclipse's html editing extension, also it also runs without eclipse. Its fairly heavyweight, but its pretty good and has plenty of useful features. If you're familiar with eclipse it's a great choice.
Haven't used: (free unless otherwise mentioned)
Komodo Edit 25$
pagespinner
TacoEdit
WebDesign
KOD
Wikipedia's list of html editors, free OS X html editors
Good luck!!! :D
If you are looking for a cloud based code editor, look at Ace editor, formerly Mozilla Bespin/Skywriter.

I want an editor just like Stack Overflow where I can write code(should look like code) as well as image and corresponding HTML should be generated.
EnhPageDown is an Enhanced version of the Stackoverflow PageDown Editor.
Also have a look at its demo
Stackoverflow uses Markdown for text formatting. You can use an editor like this:

I don't know of a offline program for this but you can certainly use an online html editor like: Online Html editor , for a more fancy, JSFiddle and more reliable and user-friendly code editor Figget
What your looking for is a what you see is what you get editor (WHSIWYG). An editor like this allows you to type in words and paste in picture, and the HTML will be generated from that.
There are a ton of these out there, a simple google search turns up hundreds. Dreamweaver is one that is pretty well known.
Be aware, these editors are great at speeding up workflow, but any developer worth their salt can hand code. It's nice to be able to take shortcuts and work faster with editors like this, but I would suggest learning actual HTML and understanding how the editor works before using one.
I find my ans As I told I want show the code which should looks like code http://alexgorbatchev.com/SyntaxHighlighter/
best site for this

I have used Flash Builder and previously Flash for at least the past 15 years and am looking at the' writing on the wall' concerning the demise of Flash based software. I find ActionScript3 to be a powerful and elegant programming language and am hesitant to move towards what I perceive html5 to be because it appears that the underlying programming language is like taking a step back in time. It does not appear to be fully object oriented and I have yet to see a sophisticated IDE for it. Also, I have not seen an html5 equivalent of the Flash media server to capture and deliver video.
I'm not a professional developer, I'm a college professor who does a lot of design and development work and I need a platform that will be around for a while, that is technologically advanced, and that will continue to evolve. I've worked with xCode, but am concerned that it it too limited to IOS. I'd like to hear from others who can guide me in my decision making.
For web-based stuff, in your case, I'd definitely say to stick it out with AS3 until things become more absolute. Flash has issues that HTML5 doesn't, but the opposite is also true. Flash's issues are more permanent and/or something that Adobe just doesn't care about like it should, but HTML5, from what I understand, is still "growing up" and is not quite mature yet. Flash isn't dead yet, it's still well-established, and you're already really used to using it. So I'd say stick with that for right now, and change later when it's a better time to do so.

I am working on a project (website) where I need to make a feature where users are able to publish a post, like a blog, so I wanted to keep the post data in the database. What rich text editor can you recommend to me, that is not very hard to use and that will replace the HTML text area?
Also, if I just directly put the content from rich text editor into a database field, what format the content actually will be? I am thinking of HTML string but not sure. So if it's HTML I can just echo the whole thing when displaying the post content? Sorry for that much questions and thank you for the help in advance.
I think TinyMCE suits for your blog.
TinyMCE is a platform independent web based Javascript HTML WYSIWYG.
editor.
Take a look at the site: http://www.tinymce.com/ Also you can give a try here: http://www.tinymce.com/tryit/full.php
I recommend using TinyMCE
It's pretty standard. I know it comes as an optional editor with Joomla! installation - so you know it's at least stable enough to be used in a large distribution of a widely-used CMS.

I am a relatively new web apps programmer.
I have done differents web apps when HTML 5 were becoming (let's say) the new HTML standard.
So I want to know whether it is a good idea to migrate some of those apps to HTML 5.
By the way, I never have used HTML 5 in any web application.
What things do I have to keep in mind before do a migration or starts new web applications?
I mean: browsers, frameworks, javascript libraries, etc.
Thanks in advance!
In my opinion the best way to enter in the world of HTML5 is using solid libs/frameworks that ensure your code degrade gracefully on older browsers.
One cool site to grab some tricks and hints is the HTML5 Rocks.
I'm a experienced GWT developer (and I recommned it to Java developers), but I think that "the next big thing" may come from Dart.
In the Javascript world, nothing beats the jQuery lib. Of course, in my opinion =)
HTML5 is fully backwards compatible with previous versions of HTML. A few things are deprecated or obsolete, but browsers will still accept them until you can change them to something more up-to-date.
To start using HTML5, just replace your doctype with <!DOCTYPE html>

I am a middleware programmer having worked on Unix and Windows having used predominantly C and in telecom domain (VoIP, Mobile and Protocols). However, I am well versed with perl and ruby and have exposure to html and javascript.
Now I am starting development on Set Top Box and I am required to develop HTML5 applications because the browser is the dev platform for the STB. Now I need help on how to get started with HTML5 application programming. I have read articles and looked at books on the HTML5 features like video, canvas etc. But I have not come across anything that teaches me the HTML5 app development hands-on. Say "Hello World" example of C.
Probably it might be the initial friction that might holding back from transition from telecom to web programming, though the lines have long been blurred between the domains. To confound the issue, there are so many tons of frameworks and plugins available for development that I have come across such as Sencha, JQuery for DOM, etc.
In short - how do i get started with HTML5 application development? If I need to use any specific frameworks, then pls suggest.
