Subject: [Bookshelf] Textmate: Power Editing for the Mac

We're very pleased to announce that our latest title, "Textmate:  
Power Editing for the Mac", is now available (in BETA) at  
pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/textmate

TextMate is a full-featured text editor available for Mac OS X that  
can greatly enhance your text manipulation skills. TextMate is  
actually a thin shell over a personalized team of robot ninjas ready  
to do your bidding. Let's face it, who doesn't want their very own  
team of robot ninjas?

With TextMate you can do your normal work, but signal the ever- 
watchful ninjas as you go. At your command, they will launch into  
action, slicing through text, building repetitive structures of data  
in the blink of an eye, and much more. They will even post to your  
blog, handle your IRC conversations, and read your email.

Inside this book you will learn how to teleport instantly to the  
exact line of the file you need to be on, edit the data with the  
briefest incantations of power, and banish the end result to the land  
of your choosing. It's magic, as you can plainly see.

Leave the days of dull work behind. Learn your spells, gain access to  
your team of robot ninjas, and you too will be able to edit text so  
effortlessly that everyone watching over your shoulder will be forced  
to ask, "Wait, how did you do that?"

With this book, you'll

* Learn the preferred editor for Rails application development
* Use built-in automations for HTML, Ruby, or over 30 other languages
* Manage all the files in your projects
* Fly through your files with easy navigation techniques
* Master quick and dirty text editing with strong regular expression  
integration
* Teach TextMate new languages and actions that will save you times.

TextMate is a modern, powerful tool for programmers, web designers,  
and anyone else who regularly needs to work with text files on Mac OS  
X. TextMate focuses on pragmatic automation, which means it will save  
you time--time that's always in short supply. See how your lowly text  
editor can become a hard working member of your staff.
