Notepad++

[james]

I thought that Notepad++ sounded quite interesting, as I want to learn to code basic html (use Dreamweaver currently).. Anyone know if you can get this for Mac? Or a lovely Mac alternative?

Or in a roundabout way, should I just hand code in DW? (although i'm sure someone mentioned that it can sometimes make changes to your work)

So many questions...!

I've used taco a few times, seems alright to me

Hand coding in DW is fine, as long as you don't combine hand code with its WYSIWGY there's no worries.

I like how I can organize and manage sites in DW

Me too.

That is handy, especially if you need to rename a file, and it then sorts the changes across the site.. So I wont abandon it just yet!

I'll have a look at Taco as well. Also found Aptana this morning, so lots to play with...

Thanks guys

Yeah.. heard of it.. I just didn't want to learn a new tool when I was already happy with my current setup.

I think Alfred (afox) uses it and maybe Ian too.. they could probably tell you more about it.

I use Taco on occasion too. (I pale to you all when it comes to programming/coding! I still need my WYSIWYG!) They just updated it to 2.0beta, and has a few new features like code completion. They still have the older version for download too, if you are looking to do the coding all yourself.

Believe me, I know barely anything about code myself! Just thought I should give it a shot
