This gives me the initial cut of the design in HTML and CSS. Then I'll use both Dreamweaver CS4 and Textmate. Dreamweaver has embedded the WebKit engine so that I can see the changes to my site code without opening a browser. Thus, I tend to do most of the CSS and HTML in it. Next, I use Textmate mostly for the RoR and Ruby specific things because Dreamweaver provides the ability to invoke Textmate from DW. In short, I use the best tool(s) for the job and I haven't hit any walls but leveraged other toolsets. -Conrad On 27 Nov 2009, at 10:38, Kemal Pince wrote: > > If you want to have fancy looking web pages (and customers do, by the way) > it takes too long to get it together with a text editor. > > On Fri, Nov 27, 2009 at 8:53 AM, Hassan Schroeder < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> On Thu, Nov 26, 2009 at 10:36 AM, Kemal Pince <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> > I wonder what you guys out there are using to generate the extra html >> and >> > css to make your web pages look great once you have the backbone of the >> app >> > up and running with RoR ? >> >> Uh, a "text editor"? :-) > > > Best regards > > > Peter De Berdt > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]<rubyonrails-talk%[email protected]> > . > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
