Celebrity Interview: Roger Johansson
Welcome to the first of what I’m calling “Celebrity Interviews,” where some of the big names in the web design blogosphere have courteously agreed to answer questions about their editors of choice. First up: Roger Johansson.
Roger Johansson is a web professional with a passion for web standards, accessibility, and usability. He spends his days developing websites at the Swedish web consultancy NetRelations, and his evenings and weekends writing articles for his personal sites 456 Berea Street and Kaffesnobben.
When he is not stuck in front of a computer, Roger can often be found either at an espresso bar or in the wilderness, fishing.
1. What OS/platform do you primarily develop in?
Mac OS X, always the latest version (currently 10.4.6).
2. What’s your (X)HTML editor of choice for coding websites?
Used to be BBEdit, but I have recently started using TextMate.
3. How did you decide on this as your primary editor?
After using BBEdit for over ten years a co-worker showed me all the great productivity enhancing features of Textmate, and after nagging me for a couple of months he finally convinced me to try it. And after a day or two I was hooked.
4. What’s the one (or more) feature of the software you couldn’t live without?
Snippets and block folding.
5. If you were in charge of choosing new features for this piece of software, what feature(s) would you add?
A few of my favourite BBEdit features: built-in FTP, split window view, better text to HTML conversion
6. Bonus Unrelated Question: What’s the best book you’ve read in the last year?
A Short History of Nearly Everything [.com | .ca] by Bill Bryson.
