The TSW Blog

I'm very happy to announce that the final version of TSW SiteSync 2.0 has just been released. You can download it from the SiteSync product page, where you can also find all the usual cool screenshots and a complete feature list. As promised, this is a free upgrade for all those of you who have purchased the first version of SiteSync. You can simply install version 2 and it will use the same license key as version 1. Have a look at this blog post for more information on all the new things in SiteSync 2.0.

I wish to thank the betatesters for their effort. Especially Mobleman and iosoftgame, who I would like to offer a free license to either WebCoder or phpCoder together with SiteSync 2.0, for their extensive help in testing this release. amews_aj gets a free SiteSync 2.0 license for doing such a nice Danish translation - I hope all of you will help localize SiteSync into other languages :)

Enjoy SiteSync 2.0 :)

Ahh, just writing the title of this blog entry makes me excited :). I have been thinking a lot about WebCoder ever since phpCoder was released, about new features of course, but mostly about the direction that I wanted to take WebCoder. Should WebCoder continue to be the big brother for WebPad.NET and phpCoder, and if so, should it have all of the PHP functions found in phpCoder, to be as all-round as possible? You may think that it's an easy question to answer, but it really isn't. A lot of people are depending on WebCoder, and I'm sure that everyone has different wishes for how the next version should look. That's all great, but since a lot of these wishes will obviously be mutually exclusive, I will have to make a general decision on how to proceed. I have to think long and hard about which features should be implemented in which editors, and each time, they have to fit in with the general direction that I wish to take. Some of you will probably say something like "Don't decide, just make one huge, SuperCoder, that does it all", but it's not that easy. The thing will get bloated, with heavy load times and an interface that is difficult to use.

I believe more in specialized applications, but WebCoder 2007 isn't that specialized. It's pretty good at a bunch of things, and overall a very pleasant editor to work with, if you ask me, but I want to do more with it. WebCoder 2009 should hopefully prove this, with it's very strong focus on being the absolutely best place to work with HTML and CSS. In the upcoming blog posts, I will show you just exactly what I mean by that, and I'm pretty sure that you won't be disappointed.

This was just an introduction. The first part of this "making of WebCoder 2009" series will be posted shortly. Stay tuned! :)
