[ANN] Take Control of BBEdit

[Rich Siegel]

Good { morning, afternoon, evening },

We're pleased to announce the release and immediate availability
of "Take Control of BBEdit", a brand-new title from Take Control
Books. In "Take
Control of BBEdit," long-time BBEdit user Glenn Fleishman has
taken up
the challenge of explaining how to accomplish real-world tasks more
quickly and efficiently in BBEdit 10.

Created in collaboration with Bare Bones Software, "Take Control of
BBEdit" describes handling core text-processing features that are
essential for all users, working with HTML from the level of the
individual tag all the way to a dynamic Web site, and managing
multi-resource projects.

The 199-page ebook is available for a $5 introductory price (regularly
$10) through April 9, 2012, at <http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/bbedit>
and Bare Bones Software is also offering the ebook for sale at
<http://www.barebones.com/store>.

Readers of "Take Control of BBEdit" will learn how to:

Set up BBEdit for maximum efficiency:
* Configure key standard and expert preferences for optimal usage.
* Sync BBEdit settings and support files between Macs using Dropbox.
* Create text factories that automate sequences of text
processing commands.
* Create "clippings" of boilerplate text, complete with dynamic placeholders.
* Use Dropbox or a version control system to track versions of documents.

Start work on the right track:
* Collect multiple resources - including files, folders, and
URLs -
into a single project window.
* Use BBEdit's many options for opening and saving files.
* Work with remote files via BBEdit's FTP/SFTP browser windows.

Type faster, search better, and automate repetitive bits:
* Control BBEdit via keyboard shortcuts.
* Write faster with text completion of words, code snippets, HTML
tags, and more.
* Clean up text with spurious tabs, incorrect case, gremlin
characters, and more.
* Search for and replace text across multiple documents at once.
* Learn how to use grep pattern matching for powerful searches.
* Write in Markdown, and preview Markdown documents.

Compare and collaborate effectively:
* Discover best practices for commenting and revision tracking.
* Compare multiple versions of documents.

Run your Web site like a wizard:
* Create HTML and CSS files using BBEdit's extensive markup tools.
* Preview dynamic pages locally with user-defined preview templates.
* Clean up old or badly coded Web pages.
* Build Web sites using templates and includes.
* Connect BBEdit to Fetch, Interarchy, or Transmit to edit
remote files.
* Maintain Web sites in BBEdit using four different workflows.

Awesome. Five bucks is an absolute no-brainer. This will be the first book I read on my new iPad.
