Product Description

Product Description

TextMate is a powerful tool for programmers, web designers, and anyone else who regularly needs to work with text files on Mac OS X. TextMate focuses on pragmatic automation, which means it will save you time time that's always in short supply. See how your lowly text editor can become a hard working member of your staff.

TextMate is a full-featured text editor available for Mac OS X that can greatly enhance your text manipulation skills. TextMate is actually a thin shell over a personalized team of robot ninjas ready to do your bidding. Let's face it, who doesn't want their very own team of robot ninjas?

With TextMate you can do your normal work, but signal the ever-watchful ninjas as you go. At your command, they will launch into action, slicing through text, building repetitive structures of data in the blink of an eye, and much more. They will even post to your blog, handle your IRC conversations, and read your email.

Inside this book you will learn how to teleport instantly to the exact line of the file you need to be on, edit the data with the briefest incantations of power, and banish the end result to the land of your choosing. It's magic, as you can plainly see.

Leave the days of dull work behind. Learn your spells, gain access to your team of robot ninjas, and you too will be able to edit text so effortlessly that everyone watching over your shoulder will be forced to ask, "Wait, how did you do that?"

4.0 out of 5 stars Good intro to TextMate, 26 Oct 2009
By Mr. Jeremy Flowers "Working on Grails portal" (Milton Keynes, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'd become aware through the Grails podcasts and presentations of the preference of Textmate by luminaries in the Groovy & Grails community (Graeme Rocher, Scott Davis, Venkat Subrumanian, Marc Palmer, Jason Rudolph etc) over IDE's like IntelliJ, Netbeans or Eclipse.

Luke Daley started a Google Group for Groovy & Grails TextMate bundle and Colin Harrington did blog comparing IDEs for Groovy & Grails guys.
You can find discussions on the Groovy & Grails bundles and download the bundles from the Nabble and Codehaus respectively.

There is a Windows port too called E-TextEditor, which the book fails to mention.

Because I am so pro Groovy & Grails, I was a bit disappointed that the book was so pro Ruby.

But the book shines showcasing how to create a custom bundle to work with JSON and provide syntax highlighting and code completion.

Having attempted to rebuild a Windows XP SP3 PC three times because of the way the system grinds to a halt and gets bloated with spyware and viruses, I finally bit the bullet and invested in a new Macbook Pro. I was totally fed up with the stupid registry and lack of protection to O/S files that Microsoft OS's continue to churn out.

I purchased the Macbook Pro in order to start developing a Grails portal and use Screenflow to do video presentations...

So came to this book with a naivety to OS/X and Unix/Bash. It would have been nice if the author had included some recommendations here. These books look like possible material to plug that gap.
- David Pogues Mac OS X Snow Leopard the missing manual
- Chris F.A. Johnson's Pro Bash Programming: Scripting the Linux Shell
- Carl Albing's bash Cookbook: Solutions and Examples for Bash Users.

For me these are the only reason the book loses a star. Other than this it is very informative.
