Just type the start of any word that has ever appeared in your window and then Cmd-; will pop open a window with suggestions. The word you're looking for is usually on top of the list! Use the Find feature to begin searching for text. Press tab to expand the selection to the right or shift-tab to expand the selection to the left. Option-enter pastes the current match. Paste history lets you revisit recently copied or pasted text. You can even opt to have the history saved to disk so it will never be lost. Instant replay lets you travel back in time. It's like TiVo for your terminal! Map any key to any function. Assign separate functions to each option key--or even remap all the modifier keys. You can customize iTerm2's appearance to suit your needs: enable transparency, background blur, background images, and much more. Work distraction-free with absolutely nothing on the screen but your terminal. The tab bar can be opened by holding down cmd. With 256-color mode, Vim explodes with photorealism: the terminal is a medley of color and code comes alive. Coming from a Unix world? You'll feel at home with focus follows mouse, copy on select, middle button paste, and keyboard shortcuts to avoid mousing. Do you lose your cursor when there are lots of different colors or have programs display hard-to-read color combinations? With the Smart Cursor Color and Minimum Contrast features, you can ensure that these problems are gone for good. You can use the mouse to position the cursor, highlight text, and perform other functions in programs like Vim and Emacs with the mouse reporting feature. You can choose to receive Growl notifications of activity, bells, and more. Feel free to let a long job run in the background, secure in the knowledge that you'll know when it's done. Like OS X's Exposé feature, iTerm2 shows all your tabs on one screen. Better yet, you can search through them all at once. Go ahead and open as many tabs as you want--you can always find what you're looking for. Do you need to store separate configurations for many different hosts? iTerm2 provides a taggable and searchable profiles database so you can easily find the profile you're looking for. iTerm2 features excellent internationalization support, including support for Unicode combining marks, double-width characters, and all Unicode planes.

NME is proving to be a great framework on top of haxe to use for multi-platform development. Currently learning the ins and outs of it by porting my CoronaSDK game to the language and platform.

Blog post will be coming showing my setup and how to get started so be on the lookout. Till then if you are at all doing Flash dev and want a more optimized platform for multi-platform development you should start checking this out.

Here are the bullet points of you should look at using to get started.

• install haxe
• install nme (instructions on the NME site)
• if on a mac get textmate and this bundle
• use cube for MVC (it's a loose port of robotlegs)
• git started! (hit me up if you have questions)

Found a quick video on how to export a .p12 file, witch you will need if you are using FDT IOS Mobile project templet.

Going to start playing around with Starling and the new Stage3d for mobile in the next week or two and ran across this great FDT video. The debugging they give you looks awesome and you can debug wirelessly to the device!

I started doing quite a bit of HTML, CSS, Javascript, RoR development. As a long time developer using Flash we compile a swf and most IDEs launch the browser in order for you to view changes.

That small nugget can save you lots of development hours. Textmate is my editor of choice for Rails and Javascript these days. While it does have a "preview" browser it has some small issues. It does refresh but it only stays visible on a selected file. If you switch to another file you have to launch it again.

You will be doing yourself a huge favor by checking out "LiveReload". This awesome and simple application allows you to set up lots of directories for web development. Placing some javascript on the page hooks up a single page to reload as files change but even better there is an extention for google chrome and ff and any time a file changes with in your web directory it will reload any page you have loaded within the browser for that project. A very small simple solution but one that is well worth the money.

The Web Developer Wonderland

(a happy land where browsers don't need a Refresh button)

CSS edits and image changes apply live.

CoffeeScript, SASS, LESS and others just work.

Citizenship is granted through the Mac App Store.
Windows permanent residency issues are being worked out,
temporary stay already allowed.

This is an attempt to create a simple view manager class for corona sdk projects. The goal is to keep it simple and light. basically swapping out one view for another and adding some simple transition effects.

About the project

This project was started for my own personal use but please feel free too fork and add. I would like to add some other classes for doing stuff like modal or popup windows.
