An acquaintance recently asked me for help finding web development software. Knowing very little/nothing, I wondered what programs you might recommend. I'm not certain what he hopes to accomplish, but I imagine Dreamweaver probably wouldn't be necessary to start out with. What basic, bare bones programs might one use instead? Would a freeware XHTML editor be enough? If so, what?

Any comments appreciated. I hope this isn't too stupid a question for the community.
