Overview of this book

Sublime is the leading platform for developing websites, applications, and software. Sublime Text is a sophisticated, cross-platform text and source code editor. It supports a number of different programming languages and is extremely efficient and feature rich. With Sublime Text, programmers can develop their web applications faster and with more efficiency. This book will put you at the frontier of modern software development. It will teach you how to leverage Sublime for anything from mobile games to missile protection. Above all, this book will help you harness the power of other Sublime users and always stay on top. This book will show you how to get started, from basic installation through lightning fast code navigation and up to the development of your own plugins. It takes you from the early stages of navigating through the platform and moves on by teaching you how to fully customize your platform, test, debug, and eventually create and share your own plugins to help and lead this community forward. The book will then teach you how to efficiently edit text, primarily by using the keyboard. You will learn how to interact with the Sublime Text community using the mailing lists and IRC.

About the Reviewers

James Brooks has been programming for over a decade, starting out at the age of seven. He's worked his way through multiple languages from LOGO to C++ and back again. Having built a custom operating system and several half-baked games, he's now settled into web development. He is currently working at Blue Bay Travel.

Dougal Matthews is a Python developer based in Scotland. He works for Red Hat, where he helps out with OpenStack. Dougal is also involved in running a number of community events, groups, and conferences.

Matt Morrison, after trying every development environment available, discovered Sublime Text, and never looked back. He immediately fell in love with its emphasis on text-based configuration files, accessibility of Python API, and vibrant ecosystem of plugins and extensions contributed by the community. Being a tinkerer and a teacher at heart, Matt set about learning as much as he could about the software and sharing his knowledge and passion with others on StackOverflow, the Sublime forums, and elsewhere. He has authored two extensions on Package Control: the Neon Color Scheme, which aims to make as many languages look as good as possible; and Python Improved, a better Python language definition that fixes bugs in the original as well as introducing new features, including Django integration, IPython support in SublimeREPL, Python 3 function annotations, and more. He is also an active contributor of bug fixes and feature improvements for a number of other open source projects.

Despite his broad interests in all things computer-related, software development is only a (rather time-consuming) hobby. Matt received his Master's degree in Molecular Medicine from Penn State in 2005, and is employed as a scientist in his day job, working on cell and molecular biology. He is currently working in Biotech in the greater Boston area, and absolutely loves what he does. Matt has a blog about Sublime Text at http://mattdmo.com, and invites one and all to stop by and participate. You can find him on GitHub, StackOverflow, and Twitter as MattDMo.

Jeffrey Sadeli graduated from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in 2008 with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science. As a technology and design enthusiast, his passion lies in applying elegant technical solutions and beautiful designs to solve problems. Having worked for several years as a full-time software development engineer at Beckman Coulter developing automation applications, he is currently pursuing a master's degree in Business at Doshisha University.
