When you begin coding, select the Syntax you will be using (HTML, CSS).You can change your preferences so you have to double-click instead (it’s a must if you have a tendency to hit the Return key by accident).

After you setup a site, open Coda (must be in the Remote view) and you will see an icon of the website your developing.Screenshots: 1-2 3 FTP (File Transfer Protocol) Enter your settings for your site in the corresponding text fields.Once there, click on the Add Site button on the bottom of the window.To setup a site, go to the Remote view in Coda.After using Coda since early this year, I’d like to show other users the basics of using the program itself. The best part is, it’s easier for you to maintain later on, since you wrote it yourself.
Let me say, it’s been a wonderful experience learning how to code websites by hand - you have so much more control over what you’re doing. So, I decided to learn how to “hand-code” websites using XHTML and CSS. When Coda came out, I was really interested in web development, even more than before. I must say, they spent a lot of time putting this beautiful piece of software together. While reading a Mac blog (other than my own), I noticed Panic released Coda. The whole process of using Dreamweaver was a terrible experience even for a novice like me. Dreamweaver inserts a lot of bloat code which takes time to go back and take out. Being oblivious to what the current web standards were (table-less), I didn’t know that much, so I figured what I was doing, or for that sake what Dreamweaver was doing behind the scenes was fine. I’ll be honest, I’ve tried using Dreamweaver once before.
