[web] javascript IDEs
Hey Zed,
I had used Aptana Studio for a while, but there are better solutions(Eclipse+friends) out there.
Essentially, you will want to install the following stack:
1) Eclipse IDE 3.5 (a later version is available, but the apps below are known to work with 3.5, so upgrade at your own risk/headache. Past experience tells me, stick with what is prescribed as functional.)
http://www.eclipse.org/galileo/
2) Aptana Studio Plugin 3.0 (gives you the CSS/HTML/javascript support for Eclipse)
http://aptana.com/downloads/start
3) Eclipse PHP Development Tools (PDT) (debugging with PHP and other IDE goodies)
http://www.zend.com/en/community/pdt
4) Eclipse Server Community Edition (CE) (haven't delved into this much yet, but it's like a LAMP/WAMP stack designed for PHP development)
http://www.zend.com/en/products/server-ce/downloads
5) msysgit (integration with git source control)
http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/
Eclipse is the basis for Aptana Studio, so getting used to either interface is a cinch.
Chrome's built-in development tools are fan-fscking-tastic, but Firefox+Firebug is still superior (watch out once Firebug comes native to Chrome!).
I've got a decent project on the go with the above setup, if you need some help drop me a line.
(I should sticky this on my blog, ha.)
Cheers,
- Peter
