Reviews

Long a familiar tool in the Mac community, BBedit, which stands for "bare bones editor," is just that. This basic program can edit anything and everything. Most people use it for text and text-like files, but it can also manipulate a software application such as Photoshop. Granted, almost no one would want to do such a thing, but it points out the power of BBedit, which is becoming very popular for HTML and scripting. It isn't a wysiwyg, but it handles anything from HTML to Java to cascading style sheets and more. Bell's book is the perfect sidekick to Bbedit, which, like the tool itself, is simple, clear, and totally indispensable. This will circulate in public and academic libraries; large collections might consider multiple copies.
