Sponsors

Many developer who are experienced in development. But still that comes to another cms or project development. We are always search for good IDE which are free and open source that is first requirement.

Our basic need are as follows in any IDE, the IDE need to support following things:

  • CSS
  • XHTML/HTML
  • JavaScript
  • PHP
  • MySQL

I created a list of IDE which I used daily  to do a development. Here I need to clarify IDE is language specific. I work in PHP, Ruby on Rails, Adobe Air, Flex, Javascript, CSS.

I recommend following IDEs which I really found useful for all the developer who are working in wordpress, joomla, drupal development.

1. eclipse (Compatible  on Windows and Linux)

Description: Eclipse is best IDE for all language development. Eclipse IdE is basically Java development but still that provides PHP, ROR and other language support. I like this IDE for java development but I did not recommend for PHP or Ruby on Rails.

2. NetBeans (Compatible  on Windows and Linux)

Description: This IDE has also all language support. I specially like this IDE from Ruby on Rails development. I Used this IDE for Ruby on Rails development as well as some times for PHP development. Among the Ruby on Rails developer this IDE is so popular.

4. Aptana (Compatible  on Windows and Linux)

  3. This is exaggerated.

    WordPress so far I know supports ONLY MySQL. Whereas Drupal supports both MySQL & PgSQL and with coming Drupal 7, it is officially providing SQLite too.

    And recent versions of PgSQL perform much better than MySQL. I personally use PgSQL on itech7.com with Drupal.

    WordPress first is a blog and then a CMS whereas Drupal is basically a CMS which can take various forms from blogs to big carts, etc.

    Drupal’s codebase is much more optimised as compared to any other CMS. It has a very big development team.

  4. We should view all this as one vs another. Like when we decide to buy a vehicle, be it a car, van or truck. Each has it's place. Certainly WordPress is the rising star and I love, although I also know when I should be using Joomla or Drupal. Each platform just gets better every month.
