I’m a big fan of design blogs. I have my favorites that I check about every day: Swiss Miss, It’s Nice That, FormFiftyFive. The usual.

But I recently ran into Design Work Life. A blog by New York based design studio, Seamless Creative. (who also has some great work!)

It is rad because they don’t just post great stuff but they also write a bit of info about the studio or designer or concept behind the work. And that is really valuable to a learning designer like myself. Plus, I’ve seen quite a few things on there site that I haven’t seen featured anywhere else.

Letter Case is my one-man design shop. I’m building it as fast as I can. In my continued self-education, podcasts have proven to be really useful because I can pop them on my iPhone and listen away while I drive to lunch, go for a walk, tidy up the room, whatever. And one of my favorites and definitely my favorite podcast on design is…

Read Between the Leading.

Just two young designers who really love design and talk about it. There are great interviews with well known names in the graphic and web design world. Some of my favorites are: Jason Santa Maria, David Airey, Ryan and Don Clark of Invisible Creatures.

A review of Coda by Panic: Insanely Awesome!

Coda. One-window web development.

Coda. One-window web development.

I’m one of those, “I can learn a WYSIWYG editor and make websites? That’s awesome. I’m just a Dreamweaver purchase away from web design stardom.” guys. Soon after buying the Adobe Web Bundle CS2 and diving into as many online articles I could find, my dreams of not learning code came crashing down in a pile of flaming laziness. It didn’t take long before the joy of hand writing HTML/CSS started to grab hold and I’ll never look back again.

Which brings me to Panic’s CODA. It is absolutely the most delicious code editing experience  I’ve ever had. Now, I haven’t tried Textmate or BBEdit, just Dreamweaver so my experience with code editors is limited but it will take a lot to make me switch now. I signed up for the trial and after 14 days I had enjoyed my experience so much, I shelled out the $85 (discounted if you already bought Transmit).

Here are the tools that have become indispensable to me:

  1. I can open to windows and have a webkit preview on the right for instant CSS feedback. INSANE! It’s kind of sad that this is so amazing to me but it is. It makes me happy.
  2. You can sign in to your ftp and edit sites right from the server in the remote location of your chose. As soon as you save, the new version of the file is automatically uploaded. This really comes in handy if you don’t have a local server set up on your machine.

The implication of those two things was enough to justify the $85. Not to mention the code hints and color coding is sexy as hell. And if you love your Mac as much as I do, Panic designs a really polished interface worthy of it.

This really isn’t much of a review as much as a definite recommendation. Honestly, you won’t know which coder you prefer until you try some. Coda has a free 14 day trial and the days don’t count down unless Coda is running so you can really mess around with it. If you try it, let me know. And if you have a better recommendation, I’ll take that too.
