I’ve been looking for a decent PHP editor for my Macbook Pro – something like Dreamweaver, but free. I finally found it in Aptana Studio. It’s available for Mac, Windows and Linux. It has built-in support for PHP, Ruby on Rails, Python and Java, live FTP/FTPS editing, Subversion connectivity, and a lot more. Check it out!
PHP 5 was released, and if that wasn’t good enough, Microsoft is planning to release some swank development tools for ASP.NET. Also, they have a lite version of SQL Server, called SQL Express, that is to compete with the likes of MySQL but with fewer license restrictions (supposedly) than MSDE. Finally, they are also developing a lite version of Visual Studio, called Visual Web Developer, that is a supported follow-up to ASP.NET Web Matrix.
