Still getting familiar with a new text editor (or IDE) someone recommended for Drupal work? Now you feel either stuck with it or scared to try out another as you are too busy and have work to do! Fear not web heads, your friendly neighborhood Drupal developers are going to give you a Developer Shootout. Multiple speakers will each showcase their editors and demo the whats/wheres/whys its their choice for Drupal/PHP development.

May the best editor to you win.

Editors & IDEs planned for this shootout are:

Eclipse IDE – http://eclipse.org (free; demo by Chris Charlton)

Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 – http://adobe.com/dreamweaver (commercial; demo by Chris Charlton)

Komodo Edit – http://www.activestate.com/komodo-edit (free; demo by Ashok Modi)

Have an cross-platform editor/IDE you’d like to show how good it can code your Drupal (PHP) code? Then comment below to participate.

PHP5

PHP5 code is another requirement for the editor/IDE.

JavaScript/CSS/HTML are not required but highly desired.

Komodo Edit

I’ve been using Komodo Edit (http://www.activestate.com/komodo-edit) for the better part of a year now and its pretty darn awesome (yes, it is also Open Source :))

demo Komodo Edit?

Would you be willing to demo Komodo Edit?

If this session goes for 1 hour we each prepare 10 minute demos and take questions from the audience without going over our time. If we get a two hour spot then we can demo for 20 minutes and take questions.
