5 Web Design and Development Tools I Simply Can't Live Without (and Why) - ProfHacker -... - 0 views

chronicle.com/...26470

shared by Jenn Forager on 09 Apr 11 - No Cached
  • Alternatives: Even though, Coda is my go-to tool, I’ve used MacroMate’s TextMate in the past, and like it quite a bit. It’s a really powerful code editor with all sorts of helpful great features. TextMate comes in pretty cheap at $50/license. If you are looking for something free, I would suggest giving TextWrangler from Bare Bones Software a try. As text/code editor it gets the job done admirably. And best of all, its free. On the Windows side of things, I would suggest Notepad ++.
  • An FTP client is vital for any web design and development. For me, that client is Transmit.
  • Color is the unsung hero of web design. Seriously, a good color palette can draw your audience into your site and give them a powerful feeling of immersion, and (best of all) keep them coming back to your site (which is one of the points of good design, isn’t it?). When it comes to tools to help you not only build color palettes based on color schemes, but also translate colors into usable hexadecimal codes, there is nothing better than Kuler.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Why waste money on commercial software that will soon become obsolete when there are some excellent open source tools? I recommend Kompozer (a nice HTML editor), and WinSCP (an FTP client)
  • I build sites on the side, and there’s definatly a few that I couldn’t work without:MAMPTextMateFirefox + Firebug (most important for web dev ever!)BrowsershotsPhotoshopCyberduck (Transmit is awesome, but not freeware, and the extra features just aren’t that cool)I really recommend everyone get Firebug!
  • Not being the WYSIWYG sort, I currently do most of my work in jEdit, which is also what I use in the classroom for all programming instruction. It is open source, has a huge plugin library for pretty much every programming language ever thought of (even oddball things like Linden Scripting Language for Second Life), and, as a Java app, is entire cross platform. A regExp aware search/replace tool that can search both buffers and full directory trees is indispensible for those big projects.
  • I am glad someone put PhotoShop in there. I do a lot of design for print (fliers and other stuff that I print at home but that looks great). Photoshop plus InDesign are key tools for this. I also use InDeisgn to make beautiful lecture slides (circumventing PowerPoint).
  • @christian_d – notepad++ is definitely a good option. When I still used Windows, I regularly used it. Fast, full featured, open source, and free. All good in my book.
  • @mhick255 – Espresso is a good app. I’ve recommended it to many. If I wasn’t using Coda, I’d probably be using it.
  • A few years ago I picked up a copy of Zend Studio (ZDE 5.2) at an academic price of $99. Not sure if they still offer that sort of deal, but its been a great tool. Especially when it comes to automagically finishing tags/quotes, highlighting syntax errors before hand, etc. Its great for PHP (of course!) but also HTML editing and so forth. I like BBEdit for HTML-ing as well. I see lots of kudos for Coda so I’ll give that a look-see sometime.
  • @proftucker – BBEdit is a great code editor, and well worth people’s time to check out if they are looking for something a little more streamlined than something like Coda
  • Jenn Forager on 09 Apr 11
     
    Coda's editor is elegant and quite powerful (and allows real time collaborating using the Subetha Engine). In addition, it has a light version of Transmit (Panic's awesome FTP client, which I'll actually talk about next) built right in. You'll also find an SVN client and a terminal under the hood. Coda's price is also pretty decent. A license will only set you back $99. The bottom line is that I would be completely lost without Coda.

  • Popularity isn't the best judge of quality, but it's not a bad place to start - especially in a pinch. Instapaper is a wonderful app that captures online articles and stores them for clean offline reading on your mobile device. InstapaperFeed is one of many apps built by independent developers on top of Instapaper, but it's an especially cool one I think.
  • InstapaperFeed was built by Kevin Marshall, the data hacker behind a ridiculous number of cool projects. All of those projects are said to culminate in the forthcoming KnowAbout.It. Thanks, Kevin, for filling my phone up with good things to read - automatically!

    So here you are. Alternate camera settings you can easily enter into the viewer's debug panel to get a better look at Second Life. Debug can be accessed by pressing CTRL-ALT-D (PC) or CTRL-OPT-D Mac) to enable the Advanced menu (if ADVANCED is not already visible in the menu bar at the top of your Viewer window), then clicking on DEBUG SETTINGS towards the bottom of the Advanced menu itself. This will display a pop-up window, into which you can enter the commands on the left of the following table (commands Viewer-dependent), and then adjust the values as shown. Note that for Viewer 1 (including all 1.2x based TPVs), you will need to relog after making these changes in order for them to come into effect. On Viewer 2 (and Viewer 2 based TPVs), the change will be interactive, and will not require a restart.

    Like its rivals, Bundlr offers a bookmarklet which allows you to quickly 'clip' any web page into a themed bundle which you can then share online. However, the Portugese development team believe that their app can stand out thanks to a combination of real-time updates, collaboration features and the ability to embed pages - none of the other curation tools currently offer all three of these together.

    Align Prims. OK, if I'd known about this 3 months ago I'd have not wasted days of manually incrementing X Y and Z parameters at the millimeter level. Edit a prim, Ctrl-Click the one you want to align it with, then select Align in your build window. Click one of the colored cones to align in that direction. It will push all the prims so they line up on the OPPOSITE face - clicking the down cones pushes them all down and aligns them along the bottom. Shift click, and they butt against each other. Downside to this is if you torture your prim, the align tool will line up the prim's untortured parameters - line up a sliced prim and you will have a gap the size of the slice.

    Anti-Star Trek: A Theory of Posterity December 14th, 2010  |  Published in anti-Star Trek, Art and Literature, Political Economy  |  36 Comments In the process of trying to pull together some thoughts on intellectual property, zero marginal-cost goods, immaterial labor, and the incipient transition to a rentier form of capitalism, I've been working out a thought experiment: a possible future society I call anti-Star Trek. Consider this a stab at a theory of posterity.
