Coming from iOS… it’s like home
Wow, this application is truly amazing. It reminds me of Xcode. Although there is not an enromous amount of documentation out there, and although the application is not as robust as Xcode, it is built with the same principiles in mind. As a novice web developer (like 1 week old web developer at the time of the post), this application made managing and maintaing the CSS and the HTML, reduculiously easy.
PROS:
-live content rendering (as soon as you change a margin or backgorund color, the changes appear immediately)
-organized CSS
-drag and drop HTML
-organized IDE… like Xcode… drop and drop features… etc
CONS:
-learning curve is kinda steep… like 1-3 days or playing around with the IDE (steeper if you’re new to web developement)
-the IDE is kinda hard to control sometimes, like the scripts don’t load if they aren’t properly referenced in the DOM… the CSS won’t properly load if it isn’t referenced properly within the DOM… sometimes it leaves you confused.
-the drag and drop interface get’s kinda clunky and cumbersome at times… but you can always directly edit the HTML directly from the finder… (which will be reformatted when the document is opened… not so sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing)
- … ummm The IDE generates some sample CSS and HTML. As a beginner this kinda confused me, but I got the hang of it after a while.
overall.. great product 5/5, happy with my purchase !!!
