I've been using Eclipse with RDT (not RadRails) a lot lately, and I'm quite happy with it, but I'm wondering if you guys know any decent alternatives. I know NetBeans also supports Ruby these days, but I'm not sure what it has to offer over Eclipse. Please, list any features you think are brilliant or useful when suggesting an IDE, make...
So I've got plain python downloaded, so I can run .py files from the command line. Now I want to step it up, have a debugger, be able to call .net or other Windows things, etc... What's my next step? What's a good Python environment for Windows? ...
I've been recently scouring the internet for an IDE to use on some hobby projects. I use VS at one of my jobs and Emacs on the other. I'm looking for something multi-platform and more light-weight than stuff like Eclipse. Most of the work I do is in C/C++, Python and Lua. I've looked into Code::Blocks and it seemed to have exactly what...
Is anyone else having trouble running Swing applications from IntelliJ IDEA 8 Milestone 1? Even the simplest application of showing an empty JFrame seems to crash the JVM. I don't get a stack trace or anything, it looks like the JVM itself crashes and Windows shows me a pop-up that says the usual "This process is no longer responding" ...
Just curious if there are better tools out there for sql server development. We currently use the standard MS stack . . . SSMS with the addition of Redgate's SQL Prompt (which rocks...most of the time). Are there others? Are there better tools? ...
I am a C/C++ programmer professionally, but I've created a couple of personal web sites using PHP and MySQL. They're pretty basic, and I'd like to jazz them up using Ajax, but I've never done any Ajax. I've done all the development so far manually, i.e. no IDE or anything like that. Does anyone have suggestions on Ajax development envir...
I want to expand my programming horizons to Linux. A good, dependable basic toolset is important, and what is more basic than an IDE? I could find these SO topics: Lightweight IDE for linux and What tools do you use to develop C++ applications on Linux? I'm not looking for a lightweight IDE. If an IDE is worth the money, then I will...
I'm used to the vi(m) editor, and am using MS VisualStudio 2005 at work. I couldn't find a free vi add-in (there's one for the 2003 version :-( ). I've googled a bit, saw that there was a 'Google summer of code' project this year to write such an add-in, and am eagerly awaiting the result. I've also heard of ViEmu (not free, and I can't ...
I recently bought an Asus Eee PC 901, on which I am running Ubuntu linux. I was mucking around in C on my old (larger) laptop, and I want to continue to do so on the Eee. However, Anjuta - the IDE that I was using - is not very usable with the Eee's resolution of 1024x600. What with the status pane at the bottom, and the giant toolbar...
Is there any IDE that simplifies creating Swing applications (ideally something along the lines of Visual Studio) ...
I'm trying to learn C. As a C# developer, my IDE is Visual Studio. I've heard this is a good environment for C/C++ development. However, it seems no matter what little thing I try to do, intuition fails me. Can someone give good resources for how to either: learn the ins and out of C in Visual Studio recommend a better C IDE + compiler...
I prefer SlickEdit for my IDE but the only way I can get it to update the tag files to incorporate code changes is to recreate the project and/or run start a re-tag manually. Is there a way to setup Slick Edit so that it automatically incorporates changes in the code base that happen after project creation. This problem is especially no...
What is your favorite feature of your IDE/code editor? What makes you like it so much? Is there a feature that it doesn't have that would be a strong enough pull to cause you to switch IDE's (code editors)? ...
Is there an IDE for PHP where you can edit the code for your pages online? Real syntax highlighting is minimal. More would be great. I'd like to be able to do development on my site at times other than when I'm not at at home. ...
Is there a tool out there that can interact with a SQLite database in a similar way that TOAD works with Oracle or Management Studio works with SQL Server? I'm looking for something that visually shows table structures, views, etc. Looking to target the Windows platform (preferably Win 7). Thanks! ...
Right now I'm developing mostly in C/C++, but I wrote some small utilities in Python to automatize some tasks and I really love it as language (especially the productivity). Except for the performances (a problem that could be sometimes solved thanks to the ease of interfacing Python with C modules), do you think it is proper for produ...
When I'm trying to hack out an idea I find the Python interpreter is an invaluable to tool to quickly get a working prototype and iterate on it. I've been using IDLE bundled with Python on Windows and that's been working pretty well. I'm currently on a different system running Ubuntu and IDLE doesn't seem to work as well. The tooltips d...
So I've been using InstantRails to check out Ruby on rails. I've been using Notepad++ for the editing. Now I don't want to install Ruby or Rails on my machine. Is there any walk through/tutorial on how to integrate Radrails or Netbeans with InstantRails? ...
By default IntelliJ IDEA 7.0.4 seems to use 4 spaces for indentation in XML files. The project I'm working on uses 2 spaces as indentation in all it's XML. Is there a way to configure the indentation in IntelliJ's editor? ...
I'm debugging a production application that has a rash of empty catch blocks sigh: try {*SOME CODE*} catch{} Is there a way of seeing what the exception is when the debugger hits the catch in the IDE? ...
