I’m sure the same can likely be said for other languages. Works pretty well for all things HTML or CSS I find, but I find it’s quite lacking when it comes to all things javascript and PHP. I can live with other nuances of Coda, except for this one.
#Coda 2 and espresso password#
And of course, Coda remembers the FTP credentials so I’m not bothered by a username and password prompt. Being able to work locally on a specific file and then shoot that to the server when I’m done is awesome. 5)FTPĪlong the lines of one window development but more specifically, the publish feature (or reverse publish). I find this setup creates a situation where most everything is right in font of me and very little window swapping is needed unless I need firebug, photoshop/illustrator or another browser. Second monitor = A Coda preview window and 4-5 other browsers neatly stacked up :). Most common set up for me during development is : (from left to right) Main monitor = File browser>CSS>whatever file I might be working on. 4)Split PanesĬan’t live without this feature now. Being able to customize the color of each syntax (with the added options to bold or italic) is very helpful when scrolling through lines and lines of code. Take a look at Justin Hilimen’s themes for great examples. This not only easily distinguish what exactly is going on in your varying syntax but it helps keep things festive too. You can change your editor colors very easily. If you have to shut down coda or switch projects, when you return it’s as if you never left. Not only is the sites tab all pretty looking, it saves all your FTP/local information and keeps an updated thumbnail of your site. Some sort of split screen feature is an absolute must for me now. I dont’ care for Dreamweaver and the many WYSIWYG panels that take up valuable screen space. It’s so easy to get going and leave a few photoshop documents up, your FTP client, a browser or dozen open and of course there is the distracting things like twitter apps and iTunes etc etc… At least Coda combines a very capable FTP client, terminal, preview and element inspector. I like to at least see a sliver of my desktop somewhere.
#Coda 2 and espresso windows#
Among the things I hate the most are loose files (anywhere), a cluttered desktop and possibly the worst of them all, layers and layers of application windows stacked on top of each other. I am a complete type A personality when it comes to the organization of my Mac. So with that being said… love 1) One Window Development So you can calibrate my opinions, I’ve given the following text editors at least a ride around the block.
I’m an avid Coda user and it’s not for lack of exploring.
