Jeff Atwood wrote a funny (and very true) article about what’s new or not so new in these Web 2.0 days. I especially had to laugh at the idea that “new” ideas on the net are merely replicas of old UNIX tools introduced by Marc Hedlund.

talk, finger

ICQ
LISTSERV

DejaNews
ls

Yahoo! directory
find, grep

Google
rn

Bloglines
pine

Google Mail

Panic today announced a great new application called Coda.
It is a fully integrated web development IDE consisting of several parts.

  1. A licensed SubEthaEdit (my absolute favourite) as text editor
  2. Their awesome Transmit as integrated tool to transfer files back and forth
  3. A dedicated CSS editor
  4. Reference Books for HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP. Fully searchable and integrated with the app
  5. A Terminal Application for the occasional SQL work or tailing a logfile

This app looks really promising, I can’t wait to try it out and see if it suits my workflow.
