When most people think of web development or design, they usually consider Adobe's Dreamweaver to be the perfect choice. In this article, I am going to show you some other software that can help you learn more, and save some of your savings.
Remember: All applications shown here are for the Mac platform.
Coda - After Dreamweaver, most people know about Coda. Coda is a web development tool that is both designed well and packed full of features including a Preview pane, color-highlighted code, auto-fill, and able to connect and edit files on a remote server. Currently, Coda is priced at $99 .
TextMate - Known as the the "Missing Editor for Mac OSX", TextMate is known for its powerful text editing structure and its low price point. Features-wise, this is an ordinary text editor with basic color-highlighted code but where TextMate really stands out is when you are actually writing the code. Unlike Coda which happens to have an annoying auto-close tag feature, TextMate allows you the option to manually do it by a shortcut. For those who would like a powerful text editor at a low price, TextMate is the one for you priced at around $60.
NetBeans - Many of you developers out there who need a highly powerful, all in one, cheap software for any operating system that can fit all your programming needs, NetBeans is for you. Giving you the option to download different versions of the software to fit which language you use, NetBeans makes it great for those programmers to program without to much hassle. And the best part of NetBeans, its free!
So here are a few applications that are great for you web designers/developers out there and most are not that expensive (compared to Dreamweaver). If you have any more for the Mac platform, feel free to comment below. Thanks for reading!
