Golive and other Adobe stuff

Is it easy to shift from hand-coding to Golive?

[tomda]

I do everything by hand-coding. I have a very good level in HTML, CSS (though CSS2 is still a bit new to me), PHP and MYSQL.

May be I'll get a job offer for doing websites using Golive. The company only works with Adobe applications.

I have read most of the topic regarding Golive and I am aware of the problems (crash, bad coding, nead lots of RAM, etc.)

But my two questions are:

1/ Will it be easy for me to shift from hand-coding to Golive?

2/ Will I get assistance in this forum regarding Golive problems and is there a lot of members using Golive in this forum? I have seen many unanswered posts regarding Golive and because I love this forum, would be very sad to go to another forum :)

Thanks

Thanks Benihana for your answer.

I have seen their website today - It looks really nice

I have seen the code source - beurk! Really ugly. Many things I hate to see like:
- 20 embedded tables with 5 div in each cell!
- tons of javascript!

I guess I'll do what they ask me to, and will try slowly by slowy to trim the unecessary code.
