Upon starting my new job on Monday, I was provided with a laptop with a fresh install of Windows XP.
Here are the essential software tools I’ve had to install so far in order to be productive with PHP development on Windows:
– Firefox/Firebug
– Eclipse
– TortoiseSVN
– Cygwin
– WAMP
– EditPlus (Text editor)
– 7-Zip (for creating zip archives)
– 5-Clicks (for selective screen capture)
– Pidgin (IM client)
– Adobe Flash Player
– Adobe PDF Reader
Here’s the same list on Mac OS X:

– Firefox/Firebug (may be less critical as more dev features are added to Safari)
– Eclipse
– Adobe Flash Player
– MySQL
– TortoiseSVN OS X comes with command-line svn, which works fine for me
– Cygwin OS X comes with Terminal.app
– MAMP OS X comes with apache & php, MAMP isn’t really needed
– EditPlus OS X comes with TextEdit
– 7-Zip OS X has zip support built in
– 5-ClicksOS X has selective screen capture built in
– Pidgin (IM client) OS X comes with iChat
– Adobe PDF Reader OS X comes with Preview
MAMP not needed on OS X? I needed it. The versions OS X comes with were, IMO, pretty outdated for my needs.
Windows comes with Messenger of some sort, no? Maybe only when you install Office? I thought most XP systems came with Live Messenger these days?
ECLIPSE? Ugh. Are you using the PDT version? Why not go all out and go Zend Studio (for Eclipse)? Best of both worlds, I guess. I’m rolling with Netbeans for some things, and Zend Studio for others (and good old vim for the rest) these days.
You should look at using the Zend Server CE as a server, at least for test/dev stuff, as it has a debugger built in. You’d need to use Zend Studio to integrate with it (perhaps an Eclipse PDT plugin might work?) but having the step by step debugging is pretty slick.
Point taken on MAMP. What really sucks about Windows of course is the registry, and knowing that in a few months I’ll have to re-install the OS just to keep my machine usable again.
The guys here are using Eclipse (yes, with PDT) and XDebug. I guess they haven’t seen the need to spend $$ on Zend Studio.
I’m very eager to see how XDebug works, because if I have to use print statements for all my debugging, I’m going to set the building on fire. 🙂
