Coda has been getting long in the tooth for a while (and is still my daily web-dev buddy).<p>It's nice to see Panic coming out all guns blazing with the new hotness. Software I actively enjoy paying for.<p>The pun in the iPad version name is a nice touch and an emblem of the way Panic rolls :-)
I don't know if I'll be getting Coda 2, but Diet Coda looks incredible. I find that the iPad is a nice supplement to my workflow, particularly when I have to be really mobile (this means iPad and smartphone only). I have a few good writing workflow (<a href="http://interchangeproject.org/2012/05/08/my-ipad-setup/" rel="nofollow">http://interchangeproject.org/2012/05/08/my-ipad-setup/</a>) but I don't have a mobile coding workflow that works for me yet.<p>The biggest thing I'd be using Diet Coda for would be fixing small issues on the go.<p>I hope this it it.
With a bluetooth keyboard, this is a killer app.<p>It's not the screen resolution of a dual-screen desktop, but a new iPad is almost as good as a 27" iMac !!<p>new iPad: 2048x1536 = 3.14 million pixels
27" iMac: 2560x1440 = 3.69 million pixels<p>I don't have a new iPad yet, though, so I don't know if the quality or the experience is comparable.<p>The killer feature for mobile coding is a keyboard and screen that are separable. Put the screen wherever is most convenient and the keyboard wherever is most convenient.<p>You could even code on an airplane. Even the smallest MBP is uncomfortable in coach, for me anyway.
Looks great. I think I've moved beyond wanting Coda 2 for the desktop (I use BBEdit + Transmit instead), but it'll be nice to have the iPad version as a kind of mobile insurance.
I would consider this if they fix the iPad keyboard or use something custom.<p>On the iPad doing a simple PHP statement is difficult as you have switch between keyboards so frequently.
I like Prompt as an SSH client but I'm quite happy with Textastic for code editing: <a href="http://www.textasticapp.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.textasticapp.com</a>
I really can't see using this for quick fixes when I am highly mobile. A better solution for me is Sublime Text on my Macbook Air.<p><a href="http://www.sublimetext.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.sublimetext.com/</a>
