[kwlug-disc] development tools

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

Depends on what he wants to develop in (language, ...etc.) and what is he
developing (front end/user interface stuff, server stuff, embedded, ...etc.)

But here are some integrated development environments (IDE) I have used in
the past which are quite good:

Kdevelop is a very capable IDE historically used for C and C++, but now
supports other languages (even PHP).

Quanta Plus is a very good IDE for web based applications (PHP, HTML,
..etc.).

Komodo Edit is a free IDE for scripting languages (Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby,
...etc.). A commercial version includes a debugger and version control
system integration.

Eclipse is not something I like, being written in Java and hence can be
bloated and slow. However, it is a very popular IDE for any language you can
think of. Even the Android phone SDK is based on Eclipse.

There are others that I did not use (e.g. NetBeans).

All of the above are free. There are commercial alternatives (e.g. Zend for
PHP).
