Following on from my post on the Top 10 Mac Productivity Apps, I’m now going to share what I feel, are the top 10 web development apps.

Now, obviously my choices will not suite many programmers. For this reason, please bear in mind that I’m a PHP developer, and my choices focus on PHP/HTML/CSS development. There are going to be a few repeated apps, simply because there’s a fine line between the two subjects.

Ok, lets get started! (click here to continue reading…)

I’ve recently been working on modifying my workspace to allow for greater productivity. This includes my physical desk setup as well as my desktop and apps. This is going to be the first in a series of posts on Mac productivity, and where better to start than with the Apps!
