Coda has everything for you-it’s a Swiss Army Knife of web development bundled into one beautiful package. You don’t need to have an editor window open with Terminal off to the side, a separate CSS editor, and another application or Terminal tab for version control. What I like most about Coda is its focus on one-window web development. That became the gateway to Coda, and I’ve been a fan ever since. I first heard about Panic when I was shopping around for an FTP client, and purchased Transmit.
Panic has earned a reputation for making fantastic software that works great. Ultimately, my primary tool is Panic’s Coda. I’ve even been known to dabble in a plain-text editor from time to time. I like Dreamweaver for some things and Sublime Text for others. As someone who considers himself a designer first with a splash of developer mixed in, I’ve found it’s good to play around with different types of tools to see what you like best. And that is why the question isn’t easily answered. Your personal preferences, your workflow, your code, your designs, your wallet…it’s all about you, baby. In addition, robust GUI editors such as TextMate and Sublime Text have taken the development world by storm. For those who also need to use the command line, the debate about vi and Emacs rages on.
There are purists who believe you should only code with SimpleText or TextWrangler, but there are also those who prefer the many features of Dreamweaver. One of the first questions asked when someone learns to code is, “What editor should I use?” It is not a question easily answered. 45 Books Support Learning Extending Coda AirPreview and Diet Coda File Transfers Wrapping Up 25 The Views Local View Remote View The Sidebar Clips Files Find In Hints Navigator Places Publish SCM Shared Validate Using the Text Editor Code Folding Indenting and Outdenting Lines Quickly Select Text Within Brackets Quickly Comment Out Selected Text Close Current Tag Find and Replace Text in a Single File Multiline Editing Open a File with Another Application Changing Syntax Modes Changing Line Endings Changing File Encodings Reference Books Text Processing Commands Preview a Document Using the MySQL Editor Sharing Documents Announcing a Document Kicking Someone Off Your Documents Joining a Shared Document Monitor Changes to Shared Documents Troubleshooting Connection IssuesĢ5 25 25 26 26 28 28 28 28 29 29 29 29 30 30 30 30 30 31 31 31 31 31 31 32 32 32 32 32 33 34 34 35 35 36 36Ħ. 17 General Preferences Editor Preferences Sharing Preferences Colors Preferences Files Preferences Transfers Preferences Bandwidth Options Rules Preferences Terminal Preferencesĥ.
