Panic, the makers of Transmit and CandyBar, today have released their new web editing app, Coda. A spectacular interface coupled with some powerful tools is going to make Coda the program to beat for this marketspace.

Some cool features of Coda include:

• Integrated FTP, SSH, SFTP - even imports your Transmit favorites
• Tabbed interface for sites, files, terminal, books (read on) and more
• The ‘books’ mentioned include built-in copies of php, xml and html manuals that are easily read and searchable
• An integrated CSS editor
• A neat little site browser/favorites gui
• A ‘Clips’ area to store commonly used code chunks
• The ability to share documents with local or remote users using Coda or SubEthaEdit without allowing them server access - VERY handy, very cool

About the only thing that’s missing for me is a way to post to my sites (all run Wordpress) and perhaps some image management features. Other than that, Coda is an amazingly well done method of integrating several site building tools into one svelte package.

Check it out today, assuming you are the kind of person who needs to edit or design web documents without having half a dozen different programs open at once.

PS: If you are a Transmit 3 owner, you get an extra $10 off the price of $79…which is in itself $20 off the ‘normal’ price of $99. So you can get it for as little as $69 if you own Transmit already (and you should!).
