Coda Rocks

March 4, 2008 by Chris

If you are a web developer, and you spend a lot of time writing code, and you use a Mac, you need to use Coda.

Coda is marketed as “one window web development” and it really is. I’ve been going back and forth between Dreamweaver and Eclipse for coding over the past few years, and both are great tools. I still use Eclipse for large sites at work, but I needed something for building small sites, and for quickly editing sites I’ve built in the past.

Coda lets you set up as many sites as you want, and for each site, remembers which files you have open. To make a change, you edit the file, or files and hit publish. It FTPs the files in the background, and keeps everything synchronized. You can even edit files directly on the remote site, which is great if you have specific server config files that you don’t want to be synchronized.

Also, code recognition is available for HTML, CSS, Javascript, Actionscript, Coldfusion, Perl, Ruby, PHP, Python, and several more. Coda is one of those programs that I’m happy to pay for. It’s $79, but will save you time every single day. There is a free trial that I think is fully functional.

Give it a try.

Hi Chris

I just started using Coda amd loving it. Apart from “one window web development” it offers, I think the beauty of the software interface is quite unusual for something as dry as an IDE.

The Panic guys have done a great job.

I totally agree. In our field of work, we practically “live” in an IDE, and the look and feel of the software is very important. Panic takes this into consideration, making it my current IDE of choice.
