Question

Is there an analog of Espresso for Windows?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Brackets http://brackets.io/ -- This is a new and useful solution. While not as feature-packed as Espresso.

OTHER TIPS

Sublime Text 2 is probably what you are looking for. Try it.

Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express (Best IDE and it's free.)

Microsoft Web Matrix(http://www.microsoft.com/web/webmatrix/) is very useful also. Not as heavy as Visual Studio but equally awesome.

If you mean Espresso's ability to show live preview as you edit your html and css, check LIVEditor out - notice the word 'live' in its name.

And the bonus is, if you usually use Firebug or Developer Tools' html inspector to help tweaking css styles, LIVEditor has a seamlessly integrated html inspector similar to the above mentioned two.

Aptana Studio 3 is definitely worth to take a look at.
It's free, it has integrated FTP, as well as a pretty good highlighting/auto complete functionality.

But it has also a lot of other functions like Git integration, built in console and many more.

The supported languages are:

  • HTML5
  • CSS3
  • JavaScript
  • Ruby
  • Rails
  • PHP
  • Python

Notepad++ is a quite ok and free tool. It also has an FTP project manager, a diff tool, etc. I haven't worked on any projects with it, but its installed on my virtual PC.
