YUI and Aptana
| Monday, July 31st, 2006 | --jr |
If you write a lot of Javascript for a living (or for fun if that sort of thing appeals to you), there's an interesting (and free) IDE you ought to check out called Aptana. "Wait!", i hear you say, "that's not a Yahoo! thing!" Well, no it's not. However it caught my attention by how well it integrates with the Yahoo! UI libraries. (As in REALLY, REALLY well!)
There are two ways you can access the YUI libraries. You can either follow the example specified on their Wiki (which matches the video presentation), and create a new web library project, or you can follow Hedger's example and add the libraries to an existing project.
And, obviously, you don't HAVE to use YUI libraries with Aptana. There's support for a wide number of other libraries, or your even own.
