I sure hope the mods don't get to upset with me.
Moving forward, learning to code is a heck of thing to learn.
Truth is I am still hung up on a php and working through the tutorial.
I was frustrated because the video sometimes didn't jive with what I was doing in sublime. You see I run 2 laptops side by side. I watch video on one and do the exercises on the other. When I don't understand I play the video again, make notes and make changes on the other laptop.
However working with Sublime is a whole new world of learning and for me the curve is straight up.....lol
Attached is link that takes you through a video tutorial of sublime.
Super helpful.
Super easy to understand.
enjoy.

17,774 PointsSublime is totally worth the time. It's got a plethora of available plugins to help speed up your production time AND save your fingers some work! ST3 should be right around the corner as well - I'm pretty stoked :D! Keep in mind that Sublime Text has multi-language support - that's pretty darn good IMO. ^-^

14,517 PointsChase is right, it's completely a personal preference. I use Coda 2 because it accommodates what I do with it's integration features. Sublime is also a very handy tool, but to me Coda is what I prefer.
Thanks for posting the tutorial, I'm sure it will be helpful to many members using Sublime.

20,810 PointsAgreed. For a while, I was into TextMate with CSSEdit. Now, I use Coda (for my projects) and Dreamweaver (for my school projects).

When it comes down to do there are about half a dozen popular text editors among web peeps and they all have pretty much the same features, selection tends to come down to different stroke for different folks.

git push heroku
I recommend everyone at least try Sublime Text 2 and/or Vim. Spend a couple hours in each, you'll probably really like one or both.

20,810 PointsYeah, I should really learn how to use git...
