Dev tools

Post by Sema »

atm. i am having truble finding my way through all the projekts, small scripts and other stuff i am having stored on my computer regarding php programming. How do you guy's track your source code so you can find what you need quickly. And are you using some specifik software for todo lists / projekt status / and so on ?

I've used many differing tools.. Most of my code is saved off in source control with adequately commented code and directory categorization/structuring. When I need to find someone, I'll often use grep as most of you all know, I love my regular expressions :) .. For project management, I've used tools such as Microsoft RAID, Microsoft Project, among others.. all the way down to just a note pad with lots of scribbles.. :) I haven't used any open source/unix based tools for project work as yet though..

subversion for source control, Komodo as editor (like their integrated poject-handling, but it's nothing unique), apart from that - the scripts you need will grow into libraries and the libraries will become more defined and solid to serve everything you need.

  • vim (console version) as an editor
  • phpdocumentor to generate api documentation
  • simpletest to write test suites
  • MS OneNote for TODOs, notes, as a dashboard etc.
  • various source control systems (depending on the project)
  • and, of course, firefox with the 'Webdeveloper' extension :)

Ooh, that Webdeveloper extension is very useful. Thank you for pointing that out... :)
