| 547207 | 2007-05-06 01:01:00 | I use vi. I would advise strongly to avoid tools that use tables for every bloody layout. Dreamweaver and Frontpage used to be terrible for doing this, but the newer incarnations may have found a way around this. |

| 547208 | 2007-05-06 05:06:00 | Jcr1 I am in the same boat - learning php. I have some good manuals on pdf if you want a copy. I use PHP Designer personal www.mpsoftware.dk which is a great program for php. I also have been following these videos, - the guy in the video uses an earler version of php designer http://www.phpvideotutorials.com/ The guy babbles on a bit (typcial aussie) but the content is really good, and being able to hear it and see it is far easier to learn than just reading. Let me know if you want any resources. I have been looking for a course to do on php, and there are none at all in NZ, and few overseas. Yet from what I have seen the world is crying out for php developers, I am always seeing jobs for it. At present I am using php to mod my messageboard. As I go throught the videos I make myself projects using the board as a test bed. |

| 547209 | 2007-05-06 06:07:00 | Dreamweaver, 99.9% in code view. Used to be a strictly "notepad" type which was fine for personal stuff, but I need something a lot more productive nowadays. |

| 547210 | 2007-05-06 08:04:00 | I use Kate (KDE Advanced Text Editor). The most useful things for me are assistance with indentation (e.g. select a block of text and hit tab to indent all selected lines) and syntax highlighting (displays strings, variables etc in different colours to make code more readable).I, too, use kate - it's the nicest editor I've ever used, and I'd never go back. Too many features to list here, but some of my favourites are the indenting (CTRL+I & CTRL+SHIFT+I for large blocks), indentation tracking lines, bracket tracking & highlighting, code folding, code completion, syntax highlighting for almost every language invented, session management for multiple projects, the built-in shell, the ability to open / save anything from anywhere (although any KDE app can do that), the scads of useful & intuitive hotkeys, CRTL+K 'nuke line', window splitting.... the list just goes on and on and on :D P.S. Kate will be insanely difficult to run on Windows. The example should give you an idea of what to expect from a good editor though.Wrong. :p It runs quite happily in Cygwin, and can be installed from the cygwinports repository (hosted on sunsite.dk) with the Cygwin installer. It does have a ton of dependencies though, including most of KDE. :rolleyes: |

| 547211 | 2007-05-06 09:43:00 | HTML Kit in MS Windows (www.htmlkit.com/) and Bluefish (http:) in Linux. Both are excellent free HTML editors. | johnd (85) | ||
| 547212 | 2007-05-06 15:09:00 | My personal preference is good old completly free notepad.exe ;) But I also have Dreamweaver (plus all the other adobe products) installed and Frontpage 2003. |

I know what you mean about the demand for PHP developers, as when my son studied at AUT he took a shine to PHP and after he graduated went overseas and now has a really good job in the UK as a developer; of course, PHP is huge part of that . |
