3. • Integrated Development Environment
• Integrating editor , compiler and debuger
• Developers for Java, C# must use IDE .
• For Moodle developing, I was surprised that many people don’t use IDE in Japan .
– PHP doesn’t need compile , is it the main reason ?
• But, In proper developing, we needs IDE .
• It can STOP, See vars, Step
• I recommend PhpStorm
– In PHP , it is much faster than Eclipse or Visual studio .
• vi may be that emergensy last method … ?
– Multi platform
• Windows, Mac OS X, Linux
– NOT free
• Direct
– Company：1st year $199, next year $129, Individual $99, $49
– http://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/buy/
• Japanese partner
– 25,812
– No Japanese translation ( In fact, I didn’t investigate )
