Coding faster is essential when your time is money. Here are some exemplary steps:
- Use a suitable code editor that gives you snippets and has an advance editor intelligence. Aptana is a good choice in this case, giving it a try is a must.
- Use zen coding. Jeffrey Way from NetTuts+ has a great screencast on using it. Now you can even group tags and use attributes in a great way!
- Use a text expander. Again, Jeffrey Way has explained the benefits in this article. Be aware that if you use Texter, it may cause troubles in some applications that use shortcuts - I’ve had problems with Photoshop.
- Make sure you obey the DRY programming principle.
