| Web Dev tools on a new iBook When you get an iBook out of the box, is there any competent tool / utility that you can use to develop webpages or entire sites? |

| Yup! vi, ssh and ftp are all available via the command line (us Unix Geeks have been doing this for years). If you require a GUI then there is textedit. I believe that you can ftp via the finder, but I've never done it. If you need more then go to versiontracker.com You can find tons of free software there like: fugo - graphical ssh ftp (sftp or ftp) client SubEthaEdit (shareware) - nifty little text editor You can always purchase dreamweaver if you need hand holding or bbedit (an very powerful text (code) editor).

| You might be interested in TextWrangler, which is free and very useful. If you mean right out of the box, then indeed TextEdit and the Terminal are what you get. Perhaps some Omni-app come with the iBook? OmniGraffle and OmniOutliner can export to HTML, IIRC.

| Smultron is a freeware editor - a sourceforge project. Taco HTML Edit is another freeware editor - coming along nicely |

| Transmit is arguably the best FTP client ever programmed for the Mac. But there are a number of others out there, like Fetch or Cyberduck. As far as editors go, SubEthaEdit is one of the best; BBEdit costs a pretty penny, but it has a built-in FTP client and is still very powerful. Smultron is also a great program, and there are plenty others like Taco and HyprEdit. Out of the box, your Mac has very little power in this regard until you dive into the command line. TextEdit is a very basic editor, and the Finder doesn't have very good FTP integration. Once you download a few other programs, however, you will find the web shaping under your fingers. Oh yeah... don't forget Photoshop for images! ![]()
