If you are registered on GitHub , like me , might make you comfortable this application for OS X for Mac GitHub . It allows you to manage the repository so simple, thanks to the excellent minimal and intuitive GUI. Nice thing is that the application can be activated directly from the page when you want to clone a GitHub repository:
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 .
This is the first release, 0.8 (aligned with the version online ), Editor of Skype Emotions - Skypemote - version of Adobe AIR . For now, the features are all the same version online , with the advantage of being a desktop application, then install Windows, Mac and Linux.
Before installation, remember to update and / or install for the first time the runtime Adobe AIR , if you have not already done so.
Just a few days ago I wrote a post on machine translation , addressing the issue of sites and / or multi-language blog from my point of view of the developer. I have received, in fact, some interesting comments that highlight the limits of current technologies. In fact, systems that allow you to translate "on the fly" our Web pages, like Google Translate , absolutely do not produce results comparable to that of humans, who - in short - of craft works as a translator. In addition there is a specialization of these public systems: translating a scientific text in English and a novel to be translated differently in English or a manual computer and so on. This, with a translation of "human" we know that does not happen and are just professionist translators who specialize in very specific areas.
However, as I said (in private email being the full-bodied) to Leonardo , there are cases in which an automatic translator, especially with the advent of the blog, allows you to reduce time and cost, allowing, within the limits of current machine translation systems, at least in their own language to understand what is written on the Web
Just recently Google Translate has updated its online translation system, adding support for many, if not all, of the languages of the world: from China to the Japanese and many other greek. The interface has been renewed proponedo pull-down menus to make it easier to choose the source language and the "translation".
As a developer of stand-alone applications, and especially as a web developer, I often face the problem of locating and supporting multiple "languages". The majority of desktop applications have a major advantage compared to a website and a blog in particular. Today there are many applications, including free and / or open-source, easily support multiple languages, including those completely indecipherable, such as Chinese, Cyrillic, etc ... All this shows the presence of software tools, ready, able to offer atmosphere specializing in the management of different languages. The same operating systems, in fact, from Windows to MacOS, arriving on our desks provided with good support for localization, which is not reduced to merely replace operation of the "characters", but also works on the direction of writing (see Arabic or Chinese - to be right to left or vertically). Operating systems are able to provide the minimum layer kernel upon which the various lean tools in the market.
Desktop and application of the situation very different from the Web, as we shall see later. The applications that we install on our computers, in fact, enjoy a host of privileges absent in a setting "open" as it's the Internet:
Adobe AIR applications have the advantage of being relatively small in file size with separate installation of Adobe AIR 1.0 runtime libraries . This advantage, however, can become a real problem when you are preparing to deploy an Adobe AIR, is on the network (ie the browser) and a rigid support such as a CD / DVD.
I created this little Adobe AIR application for all fans of SuperEnalotto. This application, very fun, you can:
Obviously if someone were to ever do this with a nice 6 "play" remember me with a small donation 
By turning on various blog (thanks Frank) and through discussions with Julius , I realized that, in addition to the extreme interest in Adobe AIR , there is also much confusion, and rightly so. Both developers and users continue to not be clear what it is, what you serve and how developments in Adobe AIR . I decided, therefore, to gather the various threads in this sort of FAQ to try to clear a little 'what is actually hiding behind Adobe AIR.
