PHP IDE dedicated to the development there are many, ranging from free to paid ones. For a long time I have used tools such as Eclipse or Aptana , coming to make use of specialized editors to HTML / JavaScript and - even - CSS. For a year now, however, I think I found a complete environment that finality, at least in my case, it solves all my problems: PhpStorm .

The IDE Aptana is also available as a plugin for Eclipse . One of the most appreciated features of this environment is an excellent FTP management and file synchronization / local projects with the remote. In particular there is a script that allows you to send the code currently in the editor window to the server remotely using the key combination CONTROL + SHIFT + COMMAND + SHIFT + U or U on Mac OS (the same combination is used in Adobe Dreamweaver). In some installations (for example, my Mac OS, with Aptana and Eclipse Plugin) this combination seems to be absent and, if you try to trace it in the Preferences> General> Keys will not find - mysteriously - nothing! The problem, however, is easily solved and depends on the overlap of another setting. It is apparent that the combination of the above keys is set by default to another function: Shows Occurrences in File Quick Menu. Then just open the Preferences panel> General> Keys and occ .. look shows:

Rimuivere the "binding", ie an association with the keyboard shortcut, and it will work!

Adobe releases AIR (formerly code-named Apollo), which stands for Adobe Integrated Runtime, and then, "successor" of Apollo. You can download the beta version released on June 11 here: AIR downloads

At the same time it is issued to build 0.2.8.15171 Aptana IDE development environment dedicated to exceptional developer HTML, PHP, Rails, Javascript, and now with support for AIR.

The Aptana IDE is a free, open source, cross-platform, JavaScript-focused development environment for building Ajax applications. It features code assist on JavaScript, HTML, and CSS languages, FTP / SFTP support and a JavaScript debugger to troubleshoot your code.

A strong competitor of Adobe Dreamweaver, at least for the coders, since it is a free software integrated, inter alia, with Eclipse . Mysteriously, then, Adobe has released an extension to build Adobe AIR applications Dreamweaver CS3 only, leaving users of version 8! Aptana, therefore, is an excellent alternative to Dreamweaver CS3, for those who want to experience the development package for Adobe AIR!

However, in Aptana the lack of a WYSIWYG environment, excellent in Dreamweaver, the potential decreases, as already mentioned are mainly addressed in the Code. Dreamweaver, in particular with the release of CS3, then offers a complete and perfect with Flash CS3, Photoshop CS3 and other Adobe Creative Suite tools of brand new, feature completely absent in IDEs like Aptana.

The Aptana IDE, is comuqnue, is spectacular, understandable and all the vital features for a programmer, project management, previews installed on browsers, auto-save, file comparison, display line numbers, configurable editor, collapse of the "tagging "Embedded XML, high-level debugger, support Italian and much more.

Good document management allows dynamic access to the W3C specification, and JavaScript libraries (best known as Web 2.0 Dojo, JQuery, Mootools, Yahoo (YUI) and Scriptaculous, all integrated into a single environment despite proper documentation is taken directly from the network!

Aptana is available for Windows (XP and Vista), Macintosh, Linux and Eclipse Plugin for. Many features are available on the site, including a Aptana.tv .

In short, for those who have already developed or those who want to start developing applications in Adobe AIR ( here you will find a video tutorial to begin developing Adobe AIR applications ), Aptana is a functional and comfortable, well-integrated network, and accompanied also by Plugins and extensions, some for particular browsers like FireFox for debugging.

Last note: Some functions, such as the plugin for AIR, require the installation of the Java runtime !
