Hello everyone,
Every developer has there very own zen settings so do i 
. Today I am going to writing about the stuffs I use while I am at development. If you have any better alternatives or suggestions to these applications please feel free to come forward
My preferred application development platform includes the following -
Local Work-Station/Laptop:
- WAMP – Quick fix windows apache mysql and php server setup
- Free SMTP – my very own SMTP server
- TortoiseSVN – my personal undo
- SQLyog – for MySQL database management
- FileZilla – for FTP management
- EclipsePDT – My PHP IDE
Central Repository Server Applications:
- WAMP – for basic windows, apache, mysql, php server on central repository
- Free SMTP - for SMTP server on the central repository
- KpyM Telnet/SSH Server – for SSH access to my central repository
- VisualSVN – for SVN repository server management at central repository
That is the whole host of applications that are involved in my development process which I find very helpful and agile. I work on two-stage development, my local workstation/laptop and then to my central repository where I host my SVN repositories and also live demos.
The two stage method has so far proven extreamly helpful, specially if you have a VPS account where you are at your will to install applications.
I hope this one helps you setup your zen environment :p.
take care,
- thephpx
