Sam’s random musings

EasyEclipse:

A project I wish I had detected earlier: EasyEclipse. What is EasyEclipse? From their website:

EasyEclipse packages together Eclipse, the open-source software development platform, and selected open source plugins.

They provide packages for Java, PHP, Ruby on Rails, and Python. Just download the desired package, unpack it, and start programming

Actually some nice packaging of the various environments, I may play with this for php projects, the only issue that I have now is that I am hooked on textmate for my editor and forced to use zend for my debugging (which rocks by the way) so can I get hooked on something else….

Drosera - A JavaScript Debugger for WebKit:

The WebKit group released a new tool called Drosera last night. It’s a JavaScript debugger that will work alongside any WebKit application, including Safari. This is welcome news for the web design community — any tool that can help JavaScript to work more fluidly in Safari is a good thing.

This is the beginning of a great new world….

event:Selectors

event:Selectors allow you to apply an event such as mouseover, mouseout, click, et al using a CSS style syntax. It keeps your layers separated and greatly reduces the amount of code you have to write.

this is a nice set of commands to really clean up your pages, lot like the Behavior stuff for prototype.js, though currently I am fond of the adding observers via the scriptalicious stuff.
