What's your dev environment like?

I am still trying to create an ideal development environment and wanted to throw the question out there. Currently I’m using Notepad++, TortiseSVN, and Firefox (+WebDeveloper extension) for development. Out of curiosity, I wonder what the TXP developers use and what everyone uses to develop and maintain their code.

Thanks!

Re: What's your dev environment like?

Mac (primary workstation)

  • Textmate
  • SkEdit
  • SVK (for decentralized SVN on the go)
  • Cyberduck

Windows

  • Topstyle Pro
  • Homesite
  • TortoiseSVN
  • Filezilla

I highly recommend SVK for anyone who does work with Subversion on a laptop that might not always be connected to the net as it lets you perform remote commits which you can push back to your main repository when you are on the network again.

Re: What's your dev environment like?

side note:

Hey I use Komodo a lot, but did you see the testing for the new beta 4?

It looks like the took some tricks from textmate.

User-Defined Languages
Komodo 4 introduces a system for adding custom language support called UDL (User-Defined Languages) which allows Komodo to properly syntax-color multi-language files and templated files common in many web programming frameworks. We use UDL to provide better support for RHTML, Template-Toolkit, HTML-Mason, Smarty, Django and Luddite (the language used to develop new UDL).

Project Templates
Projects templates can be created and used when creating a new project. They are a great way to add new functionality for project-specific needs, such as rsync, Rails, and more.

SFTP and SCP
Komodo now supports access to remote files via SFTP and SCP. Saved password information for all remote servers is stored securely in Mozilla’s native password manager, or you can use a key agent to manage your secure authentications.

This looks awesome! I just downloaded the new beta. Perhaps the textmate bundles that Mario has been busy creating can be ported somehow.

@variaas

I would add a few things to that list.

navicat

or

sqlYog (they have a free “lite” version. But is you do this daily then nothing is as good as navicat. I love it

And I use wamp 5 thats been modified a bit to include rails and Active State Python

Re: What's your dev environment like?

BBEdit (if I don’t use Textpattern!)
CSSedit (amazing handy editor!)
Firefox (all the way + Firebug and several favelets!)
Transmit (does something odd with my folder icons!)
MAMP (local knitting!)
Xylescope (when I’m in real trouble (debugging)!)
Photoshop (all the images!)
Kleurenpikker (a homemade ‘colorpicker’ … system wide!)

That’s all, folks!

Re: What's your dev environment like?

How do those of you with mac and windows platforms set up your local test environment so that you can test your developments with both windows and mac?

Beta 4 sounds awesome, I downloaded it but haven’t had the time to play with it. What I like about Komodo is that I can use it on my Windows laptop and my Debian Etch workstation.

I have a FreeBSD install running on an old P3 which hosts most of my development stuff and my SVN server. So it’s all in one place.
