We as website developers juggle several languages, a host of markup models and files that all need to be put to together to create the Drupal experience for our users.
Many of us have spent countless hours finding, and setting up our own development environments. In the spirit of sharing and collaboration, this group focuses on finding and providing tips, config files and best practice advice about IDEs for Drupal web development.
Quickstart 0.8 released
Hello,
For your coding pleasure, we present: Quickstart 0.8 (bittorrent link).
Quickstart is a downloadable virtual machine, containing a pre-configured Ubuntu Linux PHP development environment. Develop and debug LAMP natively, on any computer, without hassle.
QS 0.8 includes updates and bug fixes to QS 0.7. If you're already using QS 0.7, below is a script that will make the bug fixes.
QS 0.8 was also used to make the HOWTO videos on the Quickstart YouTube channel: step debugging, performance profiling, simple email debugging, etc.
What's next for the project? Not quite sure, but I'd love some feedback on how it's being used, and what features or HOWTO videos would be useful.
I hope you find it useful, and thanks for whatever you do for open source,
Mike

Path Finder discount available to the Drupal community
Exaltation of Larks is happy to offer the Drupal community a 25% discount code towards Path Finder by Cocoatech.

How to setup an organized development environment
Hi,
i use Drupal for a long time as a pure CMS, but i'm willing to use in "real" development, implementing more complex systems, so i'm wondering how do Drupal developers organize the versioning of modules code. I used to develop with Java, where i had Maven and some other tools to "modularize" the project, but i hadn't a system around, so i'm a bit confused.
Read moreDrupal Dev Environment Virtual Machine. Install notes and scripts.
Hi,
Imagine being able to teach someone to review/create patches, without having to teach them to setup a LAMP development environment.
Imagine windows and mac users, friends, learning together to do (blank) with a virtual machine development environment.
I created a virtualbox Drupal development image. I wanted a simple platform to collaborate with several others on for a project. I thought others might benefit from the work.
Features include:
- Slim lightweight image (OS+tools are under 1gig)
- LAMP with APC
- Netbeans and Eclipse with debugging
Drupal support in Aptana
Hi folks
I found out that Aptana (arguably the best PHP/JS IDE) will be adding Drupal support to Aptana. I thought this would be a good opportunity for us to get some ideas in to them. (Aptana is a web-specific IDE based on Eclipse, perfect for PHP/JS/AJAX apps)
Firstly I would like to see 'Drupal Project' as a Project Type. When you select this as a project type, the IDE will scan the project and create a Drupal Outline panel with a TreeView - similar to the Outline panel but Drupal-specific.
The TreeView would have branches like this:
My Project
- Modules
- Hooks
- Themes
Time to upgrade: Eclipse PDT 2.1 based on Galileo is out
Eclipse PDT 2.1 is based on Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo release). That release also includes Mylyn, a tool that helps you organize the to do list in conjunction with the bug reports in Trac and other bug tracking tools. I've never tried it before, but it sounds very interesting.
New all-in-one packages now include one for 64bit Linux and one for Mac OS X Cocoa.
With a new version comes also the question of upgrading. This post intends to share one potential way to do the upgrade.

Last updated by darren oh on Thu, 2009-07-23 13:55
An installer that provides a completely configured Web server, database engine, IDE, and Drupal site would help new developers get started more quickly and encourage more users to contribute to development. The goal of this page is to design a trouble-free, cross-platform installer.
Three IDEs support all the features of Drupal: NetBeans, Eclipse PDT, and Aptana. PostgreSQL for Windows includes Application Stack Builder, which can install and configure Apache and Drupal.
