Panic updates Coda to version 1.5; one-window web development for Apple Mac

“Panic this week update to Coda, its web development application. According to the company, Coda is designed to bring all the functions of web page creation into a single window. Users have the ability to edit text, transfer files, preview pages and adjust SQL all — and more — in one interface. The developers goal was to take a complicated workflow of web development and integrate it into one interface, saving both time and effort,” MacNN reports.

“Coda 1.5 adds a number of major new features, including fully integrated source control with Subversion, find and replace across multiple local files, easier-than-ever text clips with groups, a user-customizable bookshelf and improved AppleScript,” MacNN reports.

“The update is available for free for existing customers or new customers can purchase the software for US$100, or $90 for owners of the Transmit [FTP Client] software,” MacNN reports.

  1. I have been using Zend Studio for what seems like forever. I tried Coda but it seemed to me to be a little too basic.

    Since Zend Studio ruined a good thing when they went to version 6.0.1 (Eclipse) I may give this another chance.

    A warning to all who are thinking of updating to Zend Studio 6: it is the Windows Vista of web development tools. The Eclipse bolt-on crap ruins it. And if you’re running it on Mac, forget about speed.

  2. I tend to use Textmate. It’s probably the most fully featured text editor and has a ton of bundles but coda seems pretty tempting. Only thing is I have tried tons of other editors and never managed to stick to any.

    Still worth a look. We’ll see!

  3. @Doom and Gloom: Rapid Weaver is fine if you’re comfortable letting someone else write your code and do your design work for you. This may be just fine for a newbie or an amateur needing a website.

    However, if you’re a coder doing it for a living, using Rapid Weaver is like trying to play a piano concerto on a toy piano. Coda lets real coders do their work without getting in the way.
