Cabel Sasser and the epic development back-story behind Coda

Posted by Gene in Business, Software

This is a really great presentation given by Panic’s Cabel Sasser about the epic development back-story behind their recent product Coda. He reviews design decisions, development roadblocks, how they overcame their biggest issues and the ins-and-outs of product development. It is specific to developing a Mac application but the lessons really transcend the platform I think.

In style and substance, Panic is arguably the canonical indie Mac dev house. A day after their tenth anniversary they shipped Coda: an app that history will record as changing the face of website development software.

The always-entertaining Cabel recites Coda’s epic development back-story along with tangential takes on software design, usability and what it’s like to be resolution-independent.
