Aptana Studio Web Development IDE

[AndroidiApp]

Rubbish

[FLICENTER]

OK I THOUGHT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A TUTORIAL NOT A REMINISCING, WHEN YOU PUT YOUR TITLE APTANA STUDIO WEB IDE I THOUGHT U WERE GOING TO SPEAK ON A SESSION ON HOW TO USE IT. IM STRUGGLING AND I THOUGHT UR VIDEO WOULD HELP.

[HuotMediaDesigns]

I use aptana 3.0. I switched from Dreamweaver because at the time code completion was lax in DW. The one thing I love about aptana is you can add any library you want to the build path and you will then have access to any custom classes you build. It also gives you hits as to what works in each of the browsers (css3 supported items for chrome, safari, IE and fox). I also use nano on the production web servers if needed, but prefer to avoid it if I can.

Its important you consider the AGE of this video now. Java has come along way since 2007 in terms of speed and stability

[MrCaleche]

I'm a java developer and... I HATE Java :D

xD

seriously... i dont like it :\

[mehdiway]

@MrCaleche Why is that ?!

[MrCaleche]

@mehdiway python is better... hahaha nooo! actually i just don't care about language, but i use a lot java :)

[webmastertool]

is aptana still paid? i visited their site and noticed no buy button.

[IWILLTRYTOFIXYOU]

@webmastertool it's free

[shprabin]

you asshole..



[xoundboy]

you talk shit

[carlric]

you look very good for your age ;)

[Benzedirk2012]

I hate this guy with a passion! Never trust him

He loves mac.

LOL

[Benzedirk2012]

fuck you google ads

[johntkooz]

not too keen on java things. looking for good python ide. komodo was recommended. learning towards open source though.

[tuscanidream]

I use espresso for the mac by macrabbit. Check it out.

[greventlv]

Support is a fancy service?

[poachman97]

Notepad++ is the best for Windows

[lanswipe]

i use netbeans, it rocks

[Cl4udiano]

shut ur fucking mouths, bunch of faggots

[johntkooz]

@Cl4udiano lol

[TheDuke1993]

"doggy" is a bit too far, imo. I ran many java apps on this and my old pc(and that one was really old), and performance wasn't bad.

[teenspirit1]

@TheDuke1993 Yeah, java application performance is great if you can get it to start. 

[Ravenex2]

3.0 Beta looks to support PHP (at least it has syntax highlighting from the gate).

I liked Aptana so much....I installed both beta 3.0 and the stable 2.0 release. It meshes incredibly well with how I think and my work flow. It can work with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Python, Ruby/Rails....just about all the languages I'd need to work with. Should have a database plug-in as well. Also, the plug-ins are anothe reason I like it, doesn't come bloated. Check this program out, it's gotten faster.

[freetao1987]

他老说java很“dougi” ，这个词是啥意思？

[75Mrdanny]

Ok you right java might be slow, what about compatibility, portability and security? if We like it or not java is the most popular programming language. 

[MADDKNOCKER]

I am trying out KompoZer.

[FloppyFormatFrenzy]

How about edit.exe?

[AlphaComputing]

woo! 3.0 written from the ground up, so much faster now

[ConnorAlves]

Thank you for talking about how bad Java is!!!!!!! Mac -> Objective-C, Windows -> C#.NET FTW!!!

[toaster468]

@ConnorAlves Java is just a good as C# or Objective C if you knwo how to manage your code and keep it clean.

[pixelsoul]

I have always like using Notepad++

[13odman]

yaaaaa eclipse

[cyther39]

but aptana version 2.0 doesn't support PHP any more..

[changolucky]

How can i split the window into a code window and a preview of the page I'm coding?

[BimboBoy84]

Hi! How do I preview websites in Safari in Aptana?

[weinerschnitzelboy]

on the top bar, there is a play button looking thing click it.

[webmasterqwp]

Thanks a lot for the video man!

To be honest, Im just as happy to use a plain text editor when building web sites. However, this text editor can also include the powerful EMACS from time to time.

At work, Its all about Visual Studio which is a great package, but I actually use Aptana when doing JavaScript (which I do a lot of) because it has better tools. Overall, Aptana is a very good package, and occasionally use it in my own time. Works just as good on Windows (at work) as it does on Linux (my home computers).

[wrestler50000]

Part 2 --

I am sure Aptana has improved heavily since this video was uploaded. I just find it funny how powerful Applications like Aptana are just as good (if not better) than those that come with a price tag (ie Visual Studio)

Still, I do certainly recommend Aptana, especially if your use to using something like Visual Studio. PHP and JavaScript in Aptana is really cool, imo.

[web77s]

Text editor - UltraEdit - for the basic starter page layout. Same for the css, next. Same for scripts, and XSLT. Then I resort to an Access database to compile and link. First I generate XML for a hard-coded page. The XSLT and add-ons then create the final web page. FTP it goes. Each page's XML is created for one of a set of specific XSLT. So the db duplicates original info into a specific page hierarchy, w compile flags, and then db forms allow further layout modification, for a specific page.

[bng44270]

BTW, I concur with NVu comment. Peanut butter smudge is better.

[bng44270]

Follow up to last comment:

There's also a GUI designer (for those like me with no design ability whatsoever: Artisteer. It's a hefty $15, but it is truely a web design tool for non-design people. You can export in HTML/CSS/JS and a variety of CMS template format. I exported my design in HTML and modified the source with Aptana changing it into a nice AJAX/PHP website.

That's at my job. I hope to buy Artisteer for myself soon, but Aptana is GREAT!!!!! Two Thumbs Up!!!!!!!!!

[bng44270]

Here's a follow up on Aptana. I'm not sure what it was like back in 2007, but its pretty good now (at least on Windows). Mac is pretty slow, such that I've not used it on my Mac. Linux I couldn't get installed and running.  Some additions, it has PHP, AJAX, Python, and Ruby support.

[rootadminlion21]

aptana is the only one complte solution for webdev ,since you cant code php in dreamweaver,javascript in nusphere , css in zend studio but all this can be done in aptana ,it got more plugin then any other IDE in the world (coz based on Eclipse).

[kevbodian]

aptana doesn't seem to work properly in windows 64 bit OSs

[rootadminlion21]

it works good for me on vista sp2 64 bit .,

[laxbillion89]

java is not exactly slow as you say... java is fast.. you would experience slowness only at startup. After tat.. you will get normal performance as any other native app..

but i hated you all through this video for speaking bad about java ! i am sorry i hate you !

[enzogianvittorio]

what about Kompozer ?

[xiz90]

Dreamweaver CS4 in split mode with Live view in combination with Notepad++ = Pwnage.

[jdnavarro]

This Dudes hilarious. I watched this whole video while I'm updating aptana.

Yes, It's hella slow starting.

BTW, I use aptana for the library and sample templates, then do the rest in notepad or dreamweaver. It's just easier just to right-click and open with notepad.

[grigioan]

ConText

[ConnorAlves]

Eclipse IDE, or Dreamweaver

[liquidplastic62]

You looked like you were gonna throw up when you mentioned N-view! Is it really that bad?

Had dreamweaver 8 and tried a div layout and woah! Disgusting code fest. Gotta try CS3. Anyway, i like Crimson Editor...and loads of coffee

[ismetteren]

text editor whit highlighter FTW :D

[creativeatheart]

I just use Dreamweaver, Flash & Fireworks. Great!

[shamrockmuscle]

I use several programs. Frontpage and Mainly dreamweaver.

[cuiqueiro]

I use EditPad Lite for html and PHP coding. I would hardly do without PixelRuler and ColorCop for the design.

[haktstudios]

I use vim, but i've been using vim for years... i'm pretty stuck on it. On windows, i like to use crimson edit

[MrSlimFit]

When coding xhtml, css, php, js, ajax on windows i used homesite 5.5 with all features turned off (mainly just used it for tabbed editors & color syntax) but i have since switched over to linux as primary OS and im now using zend studios. Its a very slow program (java), but im really liking the built in php features.

[p0ndu5]

You must be new to programming. Aptana is built on Eclipse. Eclipse uses native widget sets and AWT, so when you say Aptana is slow because it's built in Java, we'll that's just not quite right.

[lushFLIPREALLYSORRY]

At work I use zend.

[nelson1tom]

i use myspace lol

[IceArdor]

I use Notepad++. Great application, and free, from SourceForge.

[inetbl]

I use flashDevelop. As you can tell from the name it's a actionscript/flex IDE mostly. But you can also write html, css, and php with code highlighting and auto complete.

[zaywot]

Aptana is fine on a decent machine. It takes a while to load up on winxp for me. On linux(ubuntu), it's good.

I also like Quanta Plus, it's a KDE app on linux.

[simonodell]

I use bluefish on ubuntu

[madhi19]

Sound stupid but for lowteck personnal page I use good old geocities PageBuilder

[rsnifty]

He forgot edit.exe for MS. :)

[sinisterben1262]

nice info homie i was in that room as ben but it was too...i dunno like geeky=P i didn't get the point of being in there cuz they talk in different things other then just kneeing it simple. or at list i think-.-

[Brian7490]

first view. cool video
