There’s been a couple of announcements today that may be of interest to those of us who like to tinker with a little web development.

First, MacRabbit has released CSSEdit 2.5 which is an update to is Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) editor. I’ve used this software for some time and earlier did a review. This new version has new features that includes a “X-ray Inspector” that integrates CSS files from your Web page, “Intelligent CodeSense” that analyzes CSS to provide suggestions, “Selection Builder” that describes styles using plain English, and a smoother interface.

Second, Panic Software, developers of the excellent Transmit FTP client, released a one-window web development environment application named CODA. CODA includes integrated Text Editor, FTP client, CSS Editor, Terminal, Online Book, and more all in an one window environment designed to streamline the web development process. I’m a faithful user of Panic’s Transmit FTP software. Some of the features of CODA include:

  • Sites as links where CODA remembers the status and with a simple click will restore you development environment as is was the last time you used it.
  • One-click publishing to remote servers with CODA tracking your local changes.
  • The power of “Transmit” in the space of a sidebar that faster then ever.
  • A powerful text editor.
  • Previews that allow you to get a visual look.

Both of these application seem to have a nice “Mac like” interface and should make web development a little easier. I look forward to using and/or trying out both of them.
