TextMate completes my toolbox

Hello there!

My name is Alex Hardy and I'm a web and multimedia developer based in Manchester, UK.
This is my home on the web, where I keep my portfolio and have my say on whatever interests me.
I do take on freelance projects, so if you like what you see here then get in touch!

I bought TextMate last night. While I use Dreamweaver at work, TextMate is now my editor of choice at home for my personal projects. It completes a trio of shareware development tools which also includes CSSEdit and Transmit.

My reasoning is simple: I don’t like Dreamweaver very much. To say that its feature set exceeds my requirements and it has performance and stability issues is probably the kindest way I can express my feelings about it. It’s also very expensive.

If you are a Mac-based web developer, these three apps are a winning combination.
