All i needed was to have Zend Studio link itself to a folder located on Debian server within LAN. Samba is no good for it. FTP, SSH or DataStore. The latter is an unknown beast to me, the formers - lag very nicely.
Heck with it, once i linked it to the web project dir, it starts 'building the project' (parsing ALL files, including the ZF library that the project uses via a symbolic link). Even over 100Mbit LAN it would take a couple of hours.
Now, the main reason Zend Studio interests me is because of its code assisting feature. Something nice to have, especially, since i'm a novice to the Zend Framework.
So, i guess, 'code assist for ZF', 'interaction with remote servers', 'fast, light and furious' are my main requirements.
Anyone know something like it?
I prefer the open source IDE Eclipse.
Zend Studio is built on Eclipse
i guess, it makes them quite similar:
- lots of buttons, tabs, features
- several ways to set the same option; super extensive flexibility;
...
In the end - a hell for novice users
But, with time, i guess you get used to it (i managed to tie it with ZF, Flex Builder, Cairngorm and even with an SVN O-).
Zend Studio 6.0.0 lagged heavily and had a lot of errors; 6.1.0 seems to be running much more smoothly (knocking on wood).
In the end, - yes, it looks like Eclipse is the best you can get for PHP-Flex development (and maybe other programming languages):
- cross-platform
- backed
- free
- extensible (with technology providers making their tools as an addition to it; e.g. Flex Builder)
Zend Studio, Eclipse PDT make it a bit more easy for inexperienced developers.
If you want to be a tough guy - use the notepad, vi, nano O-).
