Aptana 2
|
Aptana is an html/javascript editor, however, it does not provide any WYSIWYG feature - but it is still an amazing editor with many advanced features. Aptana is intended for people developing dynamic web applications. It provides "Code Assist" (code completion) which is context related help showing possible java-script functions and parameters, html and css tags. It also tells you which of these are available in different browsers so that you can easily make sure you code will work for all users.
It's strength is java-script and it comes with an integrated java-script debugging - all of this make Aptana an excellent choice for ajax development.
Through the embedded browser you can see a preview of you design and try out it's functionality. When you have verified your design it can be synchronized to your web server using either ftp or secure ftp (sftp). Besides being available for all major platforms - Aptana can also be installed as a plug-in to eclipse. |
