Coda

Posted in Coding, Development, Mac, Software on April 24th, 2007 by Tony – 1 Comment

Coda is the latest tool from Panic, and it looks quite intriguing. What makes this different is that Panic went the ‘all-in-one’ route for web development, having a tool that does CSS, coding, FTP, terminal, and more.  All wrapped up in a slick and pretty package that makes me wish I coded on the Mac.

John Gruber has an excellent write-up on Coda, and what makes this a nice and different offering.

Firebug Lite

Posted in Big Ideas, Browsers, Cool, Software on December 5th, 2006 by Tony – Be the first to comment

Firebug Lite is a brilliant tool to edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page.

This used to be just a Firefox plugin.  Now it’s a brilliant javascript include away from being in any browser.

If you develop for the web, this is the tool for you.  You simply must try it out.

Making me feel dumb.

To add text in Photoshop on top of other text layers you just have to hold down shift so it ignores the existing text layers. Talk about making me feel stupid. One irratant gone.
