I am referring to a truly visual environment, and not something that claims to be visual but requires mountains of hand-coded script, or a code generator that farts out a Web site and leaves you to start editing in Visual Studio. Are there any truly visual Web dev platforms out there? ...
Hi, I want an simple IDE/editor for C in Linux to which I can add features easily. For example: I want to add a right click menu item and a related action for the editor.

So far I've used Dreamweaver and Eclipse to develop my JavaScript code and tried a bunch of others. And let me say I'm not impressed. I'd like to think there are better tools out there. Tools that could, for example, give me a hint that something is wrong when I type document.geElementsById before I "build" and test my project. Maybe i...
When adding a reference to a user control in my web project, I type <%@ Register Then the IDE steals my focus and puts it in the Error List pane, on the error "Generation of designer file failed: The directive is missing a 'tagprefix' attribute." Obviously there isn't a tagprefix attribute yet, I'm still typing the tag! H...

There are so many options when it comes to PHP development environments and you have to piece it all together yourself. I'm wondering if someone has come up with what they think is the ideal setup that gets out of your way and lets you develop. Right now I use vim and svn from the command-line. I write scripts to manage builds but I'm...
I would like to develop a mobile application that is able to access all the features of the mobile device it runs on (camera, files, phone and network connectivity). I intend to build a series of applications that each have a specific function to perform, rather than a single application with a large feature set. My programming backgroun...
I use Eclipse PDT, Subclipse, viPlugin and JSEclipse for my PHP and JavaScript development. This gives me quite a nice environment, but I wonder what else is out there that might be even better. What plug-ins have you installed into Eclipse to create your great set-up for developing using PHP and JavaScript? Which features do you find m...
I recently saw an announcement and article outlining the release of the first Python 3.0 release candidate. I was wondering whether there were any commercial, free, open source etc. IDE's that support its syntax. ...
Javascript Developer Tools (JSDT) for Eclipse provides a nice outline view of Javascript classes, with a little symbol next to them to indicate visibility. Looking at Preferences->Javascript->Appearance->Members Sort Order, it seems able to indicate whether a method is public, private or protected, but all of my use the "default" marke...
In another question, Mark speaks highly of IDEs, saying "some people still just dont know "why" they should use one...". As someone who uses vim for programming, and works in an environment where most/all of my colleagues use either vim or emacs for all of their work, what are the advantages of IDEs? Why should I use one? I'm sure thi...

I've seen a couple of font topics on SO and it seems a majority of people use monospace fonts for programming tasks. I have been using Verdana for programming for a couple of years and I really like the enhanced readability, without missing anything monospace related. Why do you use a monospace font? ...
I'm pasting test data from a SQL results into my code. I'm using the SQL results to manually populate a strongly typed dataset. However, the data types need to be casted to the correct data types. VS2005 tells me that I need to cast each field as an int, decimal, date, etc., but I'd rather not have to click this hundreds of times or m...
Literate programming is a way of developing software where documentation comes first, then the coding. One writes the documentation of a code snippet, and then writes the implementation of the snippet. The visual appearance of the software source code would be a plain document like word, with code paragraphs in it. I am trying to conve...

This might be a stupid question but I just wanted to make sure... If I incorporate code generated by the IDE (Visual Studio in this case) in my software, can I apply my own license to that code or is it subject to its own license? ...
