• Lab test: Climb aboard Ruby on Rails | InfoWorld | Review | 2008-07-07 | By Martin Heller
  Kinds of disgree on putting IDE and TextEditor together. But it is a comprehansive review.

• Live Search with Quicksilver Style // Ordered List // We Make The Web Beautifully Simple
  (tags: javascript search quicksilver prototype livesearch tutorial ajax webdesign jquery)

One of my favorite editor on Mac is Coda, the most important part for me is in their tagline:

Compare with my another favorite editor, TextMate, every time I open it, I will open three more windows at the same time:

• Terminal for running application
• Terminal for mysql
• Browser for view my pages and documents

Coda has all of these and even more:

Text editor + Transmit + CSS editor + Terminal + Books + More = Whoah.

But, on another side, leaking of version control and no powerful bundles as TextMate keep a lot of Ruby developers out of it.

Things may change:

After a lot of work, we’re finally ready to work with some people to test Coda 1.5 — the next major release of Coda — and prepare it for the general public.

…

To enter Coda 1.5 limited private beta, go to:
http://www.panic.com/hive/
If registration is still available, the registration link will be in the upper-right corner of the page. (If there’s no link, we’re full.)

So what’s new in Coda 1.5?

• Better Search and Replace?
• Source Control Support (SVN or Git)?
• Custom Books? Add more Ruby Document in it?
• Better Support for more than one languages mix together in one file?
• …

Stay tuned.

* Unless you want to use more than one window. Which is totally cool.

Apple, disgusted with Rogers Wireless for dumping egregious service plans on would-be iPhone 3G buyers, has decided that its Canadian retail stores will have no part in helping the carrier market the new handset to customers. As a result, Canadian Apple Retail stores won’t be selling the new 3G touch-screen phones come Friday.
