This is my dive in to Coda 2

Ok so today I have started to move forward, I have finished uploading a bunch of my old files to GitHub. My current goal with GitHub is to really start using it a bit more, it seems like an idea site for sharing and a very good site for self promotion. Now on to Coda 2, starting with this website I have decided that I need to dive in to a lot more modern technologies in web development and in general as well. A couple of month ago I have started using Evernote in school and its looking to be amazing so time to try out a few more interesting apps

For years I have been using Dreamweaver, it seemed like the right choice. It was always clumsy and had way too many things going on there, but it did the job and seemed to never fail to much on me. I have played around with a few other things from setting my sites on Wordpress and going mostly thought the WP editors, which is very hard and really slow; I have used things like VI(or VIM) but really the learning overhead in those is way to high and during school I do not do enough coding to remember how to work those. There are a few in between apps which also never did it for me. Which bring me on to Coda 2, the reason I first stumbled up on it was the iPad testing using their AirPreview, this looked awesome. When I got to spend some time online reading about Coda 2 I was really impressed it really does look like something that could replace Dreamweaver for me. At that point in time I did not upgrade since time was an issue but today I am back and ready to learn and quicken my development time using Coda 2.

For now the set-up and organization are quiet difficult it is a new product and like any good product you have to spend time on it to really appreciate it. When I was first trying to connect to the remote server I got confused on all the different options and things you had to figure out, I ended up starting then deleting the entire "site" three times before I got it right. When I did finally start coding this page which I am working on now, I could really appreciate the little details that are made way easier then in Dreamweaver. For one Coda 2 is always connected to the remote server, so when I am working on it and click save it automatically uploaded the files on to my server, which is very convenient.

I am some what used to all the dreamweaver shortcuts but I think the convenience of Coda will soon come around and I will be able to work faster then I did with Dreamweaver. I love how in the right-click menu there are the options that you would most likely used, like the URL location of the image I have just uploaded.

For now what I think I will do is set-up some kind of way to do a filling system either with PHP or maybe look in to AngularJS and also I want to set-up some new awesome Google Analytics for true monitoring of my site!

Using Coda 2

Here I am also introducing the trial of the AngularJS


Hello {{yourName}}!

I believe this is all for today, I will go make a different site on this new Coda thing an start the AngularJS practice.
