Day 008 - Tools - Workflow


Whilst writing and viewing code you'll be using at least a browser and most likely a text editor. You'll also need a way to open and navigate the files you're working on.

Here's some tools you may find useful to help.

Quicksilver

http://qsapp.com/ allows you to bring up a small popup and start typing to find things you most often use.

Spectacle

http://spectacleapp.com/ is a real time saver, forget moving your mouse to the bottom of a window to re-size it. Setup some shortcuts and automate window re-sizing with shortcuts. Great for quickly moving your browser to the left and your text editor to the right of the screen. Here's the shortcuts I use:

LiveReload

http://livereload.com/ again is a great time saver, when editing code in your text editor then saving, it will automatically reload your browser for you with the changes made.
