Development Tools - What do you use?

RockLobster · 7 Nov 2007 at 10:06

I just wanted to get an idea on what people use for development and maybe someone might use a tool which could be handy for others.

Web - ASP.NET, etc

Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express
Macromedia Dreamweaver

Web - PHP
I'm new to PHP so it would be welcoming to hear what people use. At the moment I'm using notepad.

Windows

Microsoft C# 2005 Express
Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express

Database

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express
Microsoft Access (rarely use this now)

Any other tools

Putty
WinSCP - Use this to upload my PHP stuff, etc.

...pretty much it. Firefox for the web. You say you're using Notepad at the moment for php... I hope you mean Notepad++?

No the 'notepad.exe' lol.

Will change to Notepad++ though.

Finally, I noticed there wasn't a single vi/vim user, or maybe they're just lurking in the shadows too scared to reveal their masochistic tendancies

I use Vi, it's evil though. :mad:

There's a few things in this thread which have got me interested and could prove useful. Cheers all.
