I’m trying to make short, useful, and relevant posts about my development process with Arcadius. One of the things I realized I overlooked was my development environment. For a long time I was a big proponent of TextMate on mac. I used Aptana off and on, but I was frustrated by the lack of good syntax coloring. However I’ve drifted back to Aptana partially because I work on both PC’s and Mac’s and Aptana finally has FTP support. If they ever get good syntax coloring I’ll be in heaven, but for now at least I’m not in dev hell with Vim or something. (No offense, since I know that many people swear by editors like that, I’m just a GUI kinda guy.)
Anyway, using Aptana I’m able to FTP files to my remote server.
I’m also using SmartGit on mac for updates, since I’m using GITHUB to host the code.
Tomorrow: Hello World in Arcadius! My first “live” file for you to see.
