Bill,
Thank you for supporting my question on this list. I was only wanting
to learn some web development (a.k.a. IDE tools) available for the
Linux/LAMP platform that is similar to the the Microsoft Visual Web
Developer IDE tool for use on the Microsoft platform. My intention
was not to promote one tool/platform over another.
I describe myself as an "application developer". Put another way, I
develop/crate software applications using existing tools (e.g., the
tools being Ruby, Rails, VB, Perl, PHP, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Apache,
IIS, SQL Server, etc.) depending upon my clients' requirements. What
I am experiencing more of lately, is the client requiring a specific
platform (i.e., Windows or LAMP); actually, most of my clients prefer
Windows over LAMP.
If I sound like a frustrated "application developer", then I
apologize, but I'm just sharing my experience in my "working world".
