We’re getting ready to start handing out homework assignments for the folks coming to BloodhoundBlog Unchained in Phoenix.<\/p>\n
As has been noted, my piece of the program will entail doing hard-headed stuff at the server level.<\/p>\n
To do that work, students will need a web browser, which everyone has, but they’ll also need an FTP client and a text editor — ideally a true programmer’s editor.<\/p>\n
I live in the Macintosh world. I’ve been using Fetch for FTP and various editions of BBEdit for text editing since the mid-1980s.<\/p>\n
But, obviously, most of the folks coming to Unchained will be running Windows — as will I, for that matter, since I don’t have a Mac laptop.<\/p>\n
So: I need advice.<\/p>\n
What’s a Windows FTP client worth having? I don’t need security, but the ability to open multiple sessions in multiple windows would be great. Right now I use FileZilla and mostly hate it.<\/p>\n
And what’s a worthwhile programmer’s editor? I haven’t looked at eMacs in years, but I remember not loving it much back when DOS was still the boss.<\/p>\n
Price range? I’d love free, but cheap is not the end of the world. Flexibility and ease of use matter, too.<\/p>\n
So guide me. What should I be looking at?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
