Development Tools
There are many great tools available that we use when developing solutions for our clients. Listed below are just some of those tools, along with how / why we use it.
| IDE Tools (Integrated Development Environment) | Zend Studio Commercial License |
Purpose PHP Software Development There are a variety of different PHP development environments out there, but we haven't found one we've loved to use as much as Zend Studio. Now, we're not saying this software is perfect. In fact, we've had our share of issues with it... but then again, there are issues with every solution out there, nobody is perfect. Built on Eclipse, the IDE sports a variety of useful features and debugging tools. For the serious programmers out there, there is no better choice. |
| Javascript Libraries | Ext JS Commercial License / Open Source (GPL) |
Purpose Web Application Development When we first picked up the Ext JS javascript framework, we fell immediately in love. Perhaps it was the variety of useful pre-made widgets available? Or perhaps it was the way all the components just "worked" and on top of a very useful, well documented and beautifully coded library... whatever the reason, Ext JS has become our favourite javascript library for developing enterprise level solutions for our valued clients. |
| jQuery Open Source (Dual licensed under the MIT or GPL Version 2 licenses) |
Purpose Web Application Development There's no questioning the usefulness of jQuery. Every real web developer has used it at least once in their career. Some are so devoted to it that they'd never even consider another. jQuery makes javascript development... simple! It's power and the vast amount of plugins and community support make it a favourite among all. It is often difficult trying to find plugins that work, due to version differences... but overall, you should feel right at home. Pity about the documentation sometimes. |
