Netbeans
Netbeans (PHP-version)
Netbeans is an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that has very nice support for web editing (Javascript, CSS, PHP, jQuery). For this reason we have chosen netbeans as our editor of choice for HTML, CSS and jQuery in the AR0051 course. There are several versions of netbeans, meant for different kinds of development. Be sure to pick the PHP version of Netbeans.
