Recommended Dreamweaver Replacement – TextMate & CyberDuck

Ben — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 18:51:32 +0000

I have officially ended the use of Dreamweaver for all of my web development. I got so tired of the slow bloated performance of Dreamweaver and constantly having to pour more money into new versions. So I went looking for a better way and found this…

On Mac OS X I use CyberDuck for FTP and TextMate as an editor.

In case you are on Windows, though not as good, you can use FileZilla and Notepad++ and accomplish a similar setup and functionality.

This is the perfect combination and the price is much better than Dreamweaver. CyberDuck is free and a license to TextMate is only $56. The windows combination is completely free.

The syntax highlighting on TextMate is great and when you start using the bundles and snippet functionality of TextMate, you’ll quickly realize what you’ve been missing.

If you have any stories about using this setup, feel free to share. Or if you have used a different combination of tools (other than Dreamweaver) lets hear it.

Wordpress iPhone App

I came across this new app available now for the iPhone. It is the Wordpress app. It allows for your to read and write blog posts to your Wordpress blogs directly from your iPhone.

This post is actually being written from my iPhone 3G.

Also, one of the key features that I already like about this app, other than it’s simplicity, is how you can setup multiple blogs to manage and it will save the settings for each.

You should definitely downlaod this app if you are an iPhone and Wordpress user.

Anyone want a free $25?

Remember when Paypal gave you $5 for signing up with them?

Well, there’s a new company that will send you $25 just for signing up to give them a try.

The only requirement is that you need to be a US resident. I’ve verified that they have indeed transfered $25 into my bank account.

Aside from the free $25, this service is FREE to send money. This is much more convenient than PayPal’s per transaction fees. Here are some of the highlights of the free services:

FREE to register for an account
FREE to add money from your bank account
FREE to send money
FREE to receive money
FREE to request money
FREE to transfer money to your bank account

The MacHeist bundle is back!
Last year’s bundle caused a frenzy in the Mac community, selling over 16,000 copies in a week. This year, they have an even larger bundle, a two week sale, and what I believe to be a stronger collection of Mac Applications.

Simply put, this is the best Mac software deal in history. And to top it off, you can select what charity to have 25% of your order donated to.
