Linux for Designers

If you like to use Eclipse for web development you should definetly try out Aptana Studio Community Edition. Aptana Studio Community Edition is really amazing and adds so much nice and cool features to Eclipse:
* A normal file tree
* FTP support
* AJAX development
* Validation
* Help and references
* additional plugins for Ruby, Adobe AIR and Php
A howto to add Aptana to your existing Eclipse is available too.
If you haven't Eclipse installed yet take as a base the Php Developer Tools (PDT).

I'm working on the next version of SweeTS. This time i'm focused on new features like code operations (cleaning, formating etc.).
SweeTS is a development enviroment for TypoScript and a external TypoScript editor. TypoScript is the template language of the content management system (CMS) TYPO3.
Another question is how to structure a better code explorer. About that i started a poll at the Typo3 Forum.net.

Adobe releases the first version of Flex Builder for Linux. This version is based on several features from Flex Builder 3 (codenamed "Moxie"). It includes project creation, code coloring, code hints, compilation, the Ajax Bridge, Find All References, and debugging. Not all Flex Builder 3 features are supported, so be sure to check out the release notes for a list of unsupported features:
