Re: Impressions of EGL - Part Deux

I just find TextPad to be more efficient for me. By the time WDSC starts
up, I'll have what I needed done. Maybe on my next PC I'll try it again.
lol..

But seriously, on most pages we're talking templates with very little HTML
anyhow. And mix in AJAX and/or SSIs and you've just got lots of little
pieces that are all put together in your RPG program (or within the page
itself). Divide and conquer. that's how I tackle things, and how I am most
productive. Some might say I overdo SSI, but it sure makes things easy to
edit when your page is broken up into small little apps/sections that you
just pop into tables.

And as far as JavaScript, I, like Nathan, just externally link my standard
group of JavaScript functions. If I need more, I write more (or find them
on the web).

Ok. You are a REAL programmer then :-) !

Well, the tools are to help, rather than hinder, development so if
Textpad does it for you, then Textpad it is. I use UltraEdit for quick
HTML hacks to my static pages. But for web app development, I use an
integrated tool (MyEclipse, WDSc and now, learning EGL within RBD).

I was reacting to the idea that using an IDE was somehow a *bad* thing.
I don't see it that way at all. When I work on my cars I like to have
the whole toolbox available. Using a vice grips for everything might
work, but is less efficient IMHO.

Come on Nathan! Even YOU use an IDE to make yourself more efficient.
You don't code your HTML with notepad, you use Dreamweaver.

I actually do 90% of my coding in Textpad.. Notepad with a cool editing
colors/etc.
