Web Developer’s Toolbox: Emmet
September 02, 2014
When using complicated programs with lots of features(in my case the PHPStorm IDE), I am a fan of keeping start-up tips going for as long as possible. It may be an annoyance to have to close it out every time, but you tend to find a good nugget of knowledge in there. Today, I discovered one such nugget and that nugget goes by the name of Emmet.
I am an extreme proponent of saving keystrokes. As a developer, I will be typing lots and lots of keys in my day, so eliminating these keys will not only make me a more efficient programmer, but it will help me extending my programming sessions.
Emmet has plugins for the most popular text editors out there like Notepad++ and Sublime, so I would suggest that people who use these give it a try and see how it works for you.
