Stack Overflow is web location with dev questions and answers. It doesn’t sound special, right? No – Wrong!

Pro Developer tested NetBEans 6.5 Beta

NetBeans 6.5 Beta

NetBeans 6.5 Beta

Today I installed NetBeans 6.5 Beta, after many years using Zend IDE for PHP development. I download NetBeand with PHP pack only. NetBeans 6.5 start up was much faster than Zend, and working with NetBeans was very smootly. Both IDE’s running under Java platform, but Zend is lazy in comparation with NetBeans IDE.

NetBeans is open source, free and you can download NetBeans pack you need. If you developing only php then you don’t need Java or Ruby pack. But if sometimes you want to extend NetBeans, you don’t need to download new package, just extend it with plugins. I might extend my NetBeans with UML pack, because i want to create UML diagrams when analyzing projects.

What i liked the most?
NetBeans have support for Version Control and developer collaboration. You don’t want that your team member overlap someone else codes, do you? You can choose between CVS, Subversion, or Mercurial subversion control systems, i using CVS. You can connect on CVS with pserver, ext, local and fork authentication protocols.

Line based diff viewer wil show you new, changed and removed code lines. You can compare two files, file from repository and your local file side by side.

You can see local history, and roll back into older file version any time if needed. All changes are saved into file history while you developing. Continue reading

Few words before we start

Welcome to Pro Developer! I am going to share all my knowledge and experience with you. Also if you have something you want to share with the world, we can publish it here.

You will learn from me and i will learn from you. I am sure that together we can create beautiful development web site with essential resources.

We are going to talk about PHP, AJAX, JavaScript, C#, .NET, Database modeling, Designing and Developing Applications, useful project management tools and who knows what. We will talk about OOP and Programming generally.

I developed a lot of WordPress plugins, so we can talk about WordPress development and customization. WP is powerful CMS, as you can see I am using it to run this web site. I don’t want to talk about me i want to talk about development.

This was enough for start – take care developers!
