I installed Aptana as a plug-in for Eclipse a few days ago. And, i must say, that’s absolutely fantastic. It fascinated me so much that i uninstalled Dreamweaver…lol

Why Aptana plugin for Eclipse?
  1. It’s open source and obviously it’s free.
  2. Aptana is a robust, JavaScript-focused IDE for building dynamic web applications. ( You can easily create marvellous Joomla Templates by combining the various Javascript Frameworks available in the package)Aptana Javascript Frameworks
  3. Code Assist on JavaScript, HTML, and CSS languages, including your own JavaScript functions.
  4. Outliner that gives a snapshot view of your JavaScript, HTML, and CSS code structure
  5. JavaScript debugger to troubleshoot your code
  6. Error and warning notification for your code
  7. Support for Aptana UI customization and extensions
  8. Toggle between Aptana and Default Eclipse Perspectives.
  9. Eclipse is the BEST IDE!!!

Web development is too much fun!!! In a lapse of 2 month, i’ve learned a lot of stuffs. Here are some of them

  1. OpenLazlo
  2. Joomla
  3. Oscommerce
  4. dbDesigner
  5. phpList
  6. phpDocumenter
  7. WAMP
  8. Dojo toolkit

Install this firefox extension for debugging and testing your web applications. FireBug is another add-on that allows developers to edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page.

Well, the web keeps on changing so does its technologies. So, i guess that i won’t stop learning new things ;-)

Wish me Luck!!!

Not many of you have heard of the “Echelon Project“.

Well, it is a Global Surveillance Network and it is run by the NSA ( National Security Agency ) and 4 other countries ( Canada, Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand ).

What it does?
It does what seemed to be science fiction;-)
In short, it intercepts every electronic communication ( Radio, satellite, microwave, cellular, fiber-optics, etc ) and searches for pre-programmed keywords, fax, e-mail, etc. The objective of such a network is obviously for the betterment of man-kind…tracking drug dealers, terrorist, etc, etc.

When was it set up?

Believe it or not, that must have been just after the world war II or maybe during the war.

Here are some interesting articles for you…check it out!!!
