New Screencast: Tools of the Trade
I have a new screencast (#6) up in the videos section:
Before I get too far along in these screencasts, I thought I would introduce you a little to my working enviornment and explain the tools that I use. First off, I work on a Mac, so these tools are Mac software. This isn’t an endorsement of any particular working enviorment, I just want everyone to know, see, and understand what these programs are that I will be switching bank and forth between in upcoming podcasts.

I need to check out TextMate.
The thing I love about CSS Edit (and you can do it with the free demo) is how you can view live websites and edit the css. I end up using this a lot for testing out ideas in Wordpress.

Nice video, maybe you can speed up your tutorials a little bit? When things would go a little bit faster, I think the video’s will become even more attractive to watch to.
I hope to see your tools in action soon again!

P.S. Maybe it’s interesting to note some free alternatives for your tools too? Like Smultron for scripting, Cyberduck and does somebody have a free solution to run IE on mac?

Edwin is right, Smultron is indeed a great free editor. There are some quirks in the spell-checking, but it has some great options. The thing that it may surpass TextMate with even is it’s advanced search feature.
This can use grep as well for powerful searches, but it can search multiple documents at the same time and the results are listed and take you to that line in an inline copy of the document where you can make live changes.
It also has a nice tabbed interface so there aren’t 30 windows open when editing a project.
