Last week, it was a Python template engine. This week, it’s JavaScript tabs library.

Woops... that comment was intended for the template engine thread... I managed to jump threads without noticing. That's what I get for responding at 6:30AM. :)

The reason that I chose Kid for TurboGears is that *most* of the templates in a web app are indeed generating HTML (or XML) these days. An attribute language like Kid helps to ensure that you get valid output. Kid, in particular, lets you use standard Python bits for "if" and "for" and also provides easy interpolation using ${}.You *can*...

Camtasia Studio is the ultimate screencasting tool. For those of us using a Mac, we’re stuck with Snapz Pro X. Snapz is a fine screen capture tool, to be sure… but take a look at the features you get from Camtasia, and you’ll see that there’s really no comparison. Camtasia’s number one problem is that [...]

I’ve been using the beta version of TextMate (a great Mac text editor) so long, I had forgotten about the possibility of an actual release. Well, version 1.5 is out! I’m guessing that everyone using TextMate has been using beta versions, so it’s just a tiny rev over what we’ve been running. But, for anyone [...]
