Coda - Web Development from Panic
I have just recently discovered the fantastic world of Coda. If you frequently check the CSS galleries then you will be familiar with the Panic Coda website. It is amazingly well-designed, and has been featured on almost all of the galleries out there.
The program Coda, that Panic has developed is an amazing all-in-one web development tool. You only need one program open to do everything.
Code your html, css and php while you navigate through your files and preview your live project. Then upload everything to your ftp without ever leaving the program. There is also tons of other features that I have still yet to use. Including an entire directory of reference materials to help you code.
I currently just use this program while at my day job. But I plan to purchase a copy for home to use on all my freelance projects. It is $79, which at first glance, seemed a bit high to me. But now that I have been using it for a few weeks. I must say….. it is 110% worth it!
There are currently free trials available of all of Panic’s programs. So check them out. Everything is very well designed to the highest quality.

Mmmmmm panic software.
The most interesting part of coda is the one-window workflow user interface design, something that is catching on with programs like Adobe Lightroom and Ableton Live trailblazing the way.
built in SSH is a nice touch too.
Panic is a very cool company with a lot of interesting stories to tell..
