Default Coding on a mac ... how to ? :D

As the title says ... pretty much ... are there any best practices for coding on a mac ?

In the past on a PC I was used to the editors and their ways of things.
Now I'm just finding things different.

For example I work on multiple projects where would be best to store them ?

In the past I set a folder c:\Projects and worked from within there with all my projects located there. It worked pretty well I set that up as the root for my webserver ... then when moving across to linux based systems it worked pretty well.

I've installed Xampp on this machine (obviously I couldn't exactly install wampserver any more ) and it now means my root web folder is located at /Applications/Xampp/htdocs

I guess I'm just really thinking out loud as I really just want to get up and running properly (or as properly as possible) as quickly as possible

I've gone with Komodo editor as my editor of choice for the moment though from the other thread on editors it would appear I should give textmate a once over as well.

Cheers,
James

I'd use MAMP myself, CSSedit is amazing, so get that! and there is also Textmate for a nice coding text editor. Welcome to the world of mac users, ya won't go back!

I use Textmate myself too. Very happy with it. It's aimed at RoR developers but works as well as any other editor for PHP, etc.

Be sure to add a shortcut to your htdocs folder within Finder. I have a shortcut just above my documents folder. Saves a lot of clicking to get into apps/xamp/htdocs

If you are looking for a FTP app, look no further than Transmit. Live edits on the server, automated updates, ftp connections in tabs, dashboard widget, ah, it's just nice.

I'm using filezilla .. its basic enough ... but it does the job and cross platform as well not to mention free

If I start buying all the nice little apps ... I'm going to be spending a fortune in no time

I found KeePassX as a replacement for Wallet ... quite cool haven't used anything similar in the past ... I'll probably get the textmate 30 day trial and give that a spin ... I've just downloaded cssedit ... and I have to admit it looks pretty cool with the live previews ... normally I just code by hand .. so this might be very handy
