I have finally discovered opensource apps.  Lately I just can’t get enough of them.  I know…I know.. what took me so long, I don’t know!!

I guess the fact that I finally got my 8 yr old G3 PB running the latest version of OSX, all thanks to a free version of Superduper, I have been stumbling upon all kinds of freeware sites.  The first one that I came across was Opensourcemac.org then today I was looking into text edit programs for Mac and I was doing some research on BBBedit and came across a forum that mentioned Freemacware.com, so there is another one that has a whole slew of programs.

I’m trying to find a good test editing program because I am trying to delv into the world of programing.  I am working on a couple of site re-designs into Wordpress and I mainly want to know what is going on.  Wordpress is great as far as making a blog site and adding cool features but i am working on business sites that deal with e-commerce, so I am trying to learn about xhtml, css and Php and how to use them.

Does anyone out there have any good suggestions??  I do have the W3 schools bookmarked and some sites on php and I have been a lot of work at the library as far as going through all the material that they have.

What about good text editors for mac??  Anyone??anyone??
