In order to run this code in a browser, it first must be processed before a web browser can consume the code properly.
Preprocessor language - A programming language the compiles to another language. In this review, I’ll be referring to the simple act of converting a programming language to a browser readable language such as Sass to CSS or Markup to HTML. There are many types of compilers, such as ones that create executable applications for computers/phones. Seasoned devs can safely scroll past my quick glossary of terms.Ĭompiling - The process of converting programming into useable executable code. Task managers are complicated beasts as they are a swiss army knife of various utilities smashed together.įor those new to the world of preprocessors and task managers there’s quite a learning curve, and to review this product the reader needs a basic understanding of a few core terms. The most useful feedback Prepros provides is an error log that reports back when you write improper code. In fact, you’ll probably spend little directly time interacting with it. Reviewing an application like Prepros comes with some difficulty, unlike most applications, Prepros is meant to run in the background. I’m sure the developers of CodeKit and Prepros would likely prefer being considered separate properties but its impossible to review one without mentioning the other. I’ve meant to follow up my CodeKit 2 review with an equally ambitious Prepros 5 and just never found the time until now. Long before that, I wrote a cursory and problematic review of Prepros 4. Prepros, and even my inevitable transition away from GUI task managers. It was filled with the ups and downs of CodeKit 2 vs. Nearly a year ago, I wrote what I’d consider the definitive review of CodeKit 2, which spanned nine months of usage, several versions, and at least two major projects.
