CODA 2 PLUGINS CODE
I’m not sure if I could be efficient using both Coda and Espresso 2 right now and I’m certainly not plunking down the $$ for Coda 2 until I see some more favorably reviewed point releases that address stability.Citat: You code the web. If I didn’t still have a bad taste about Espresso 2’s publishing, I would probably be using Espresso 2 as my sole development tool right now. Espresso 2 is much superior when it comes to wrapping selected text with a tag. Espresso 2 does PHP sytax checking but Coda requires a plugin for that. Coda doesn’t do the file checking I mentioned above and it doesn’t seem like Espresso 2 does either. Espresso 2 doesn’t autoclose braces nor does it highlight braces when you close them like Coda does. Coda autocloses brackets and braces but in a rather annoying way which requires you to move the cursor between the braces before typing. SummaryĮspresso 2 and Coda (original) are not very different. I’m not sure how robust the ‘sugar’ development community is for Espresso 2 but there’s stuff out there. This morning, it seems to be working fine.Īs with the plugin architecture of Coda, Espresso 2 uses ‘sugar’ additives to provide enhanced features. Nor did it appear for any file in that directory. I was working on a file last evening and the publishing cloud icon didn’t appear.
CODA 2 PLUGINS MAC
The main frustration I’ve had with Espresso 2 is that the appearance of the publishing cloud next to the file name has been hit or miss, especially on a Mac running Snow Leopard. Autocomplete and tag closing are nice to haves but not essential.
My main need for a development tool is to be able to find a file quickly, make my edits, validate the syntax and upload it as quickly as possible.
CODA 2 PLUGINS FULL
Since they don’t have a demo of Coda 2, I decided to look at Espresso 2, which does have a 15 day, full featured demo. I know developers can be a cranky bunch but when you see words like “unusable”, “unstable” and “crashes”, it does cause concern. If you look at the reviews of Coda 2 on the App Store, it’s getting some pretty poor reviews. Anyway, Panic updated Coda to Coda 2 so I did some looking around to see if I wanted to move from Coda to Coda 2.
I wasn’t interested in setting up Git or SVN. Since I’m the sole “developer”, this workflow was ok for me. I know I could have used Coda to work directly on the server but I never got comfortable doing that. I modified my workflow to open Transmit, sync that directory to my mac, open Coda and start to work. Since I work on multiple Macs, that feature came in handy so I didn’t overwrite something I did the week before on another Mac. The only feature I really missed was Dreamweaver’s function to check the timestamp on the server file before uploading an edited version of the file and alert me if I was overwriting a file edited elsewhere. Several years ago, I moved from Dreamweaver to Panic’s Coda as my primary web coding editor.
