Folks:

I’ve uploaded the B1.02 version of Jame Edward G. II’s TextMate  
book.

The first beta release covered all you need to know to build and  
make use of TextMate’s automations. This second beta goes back  
to the basics of TextMate usage.

Three new chapters are added covering Projects, Power Editing, and  
Regular Expressions. There’s a ton of information packed into  
those simple titles, including everything you need to know about  
moving through files like a pro, the full suite of TextMate’s search  
tools, and some clever uses of the mate command-line tool. As usual,  
there’s plenty of coverage of undocumented and lesser known features.

Update your beta copies and dive even deeper into the manual  
of TextMate voodoo.

As usual, the update is available for free from

```
http://books.pragprog.com/titles/textmate/reorder

```

Enter just two of the three pieces of information to identify your PDF.  
I recommend using your order number and your email address, as these  
tend to be be the most consistent.

I got to use Textmate over the weekend for the first time. I _wish_  
there was something like this ported to Windows or Linux.

Tsk, Tsk, Dave. The very first snippet I build in the book fixes  
this exact typo. You better start reading my friend. 😉
