  FYI: Whitehouse.gov runs on PHP technology (Drupal).


  Now, I know the US gov has a debt / deficit crisis, but still.

      It seems like there is quite a bit of buzz about it. Now you are claiming 
that the only reason someone would choose to use PHP is because they are poor? 
That's certainly a new one and totally off-topic, but whatever. Someone would 
choose to use a $1k tool because it contains the set of features that meet 
their development needs. Simple as that.

        I didn't see some one using visual studio for php development. 
        And what you are saying is your point of view, not a professional point 
of view. 
        Technically speaking, on the extreme side, you are right, you can use 
what ever ide you want for doing development in what language you want. 
        But explain me why some one will choose to use a 1000 $ tool (like 
visual studio is) to do php development which is a free language. 
        If you choose to do php development it means that your customer has not 
enough money to afford a payed technology, so for sure he/she will not pay you 
higher price you have because of the visual studio you use. 

        How ever, keeping the discussion in the technical view, I reiterate the 
fact that I didn't see any one doing php development on visual studio. 
        Can you show an example please?

          Excuse me? Visual Studio is used extensively for web development by 
many, many professionals. Yes, yes you can "hookup with a specific IDE." HTML, 
PHP, ASP.net, etc. will all remain the same code no matter which IDE (or 
non-IDE) a developer uses. 

          You are totally wrong saying that just because someone uses Visual 
Studio as their IDE, they are bound to use Windows hosting. First of all, the 
person's choice of IDE does not determine which web host they use. 

          Considering you are a professional in a field, you should know that 
HTML, PHP, JavaScript, CSS, ASP.net, etc. is the same language and/or set of 
technologies regardless of the IDE you use.

            The question is bad from the begining. 
            You can not ask about a website development tool, giving example vs 
2008/2010. 
            The man enroles in a website evelopment diploma  so he aims to 
become a professional. 
            So, as a professional, you can not hook up with a specific ide, 
because you must develop according to the project you have. 
            For this reason sometimes you will find yourself working with php 
with mysql, other times with asp.net o n vs 2008/2010 or whatever vs is out on 
that time. 
            So you must manage every of them. 
            Because, if you learn only on VS, you will be forced to use windows 
hosting for example, to buy and pay for the development tools and for the 
database tools. 
            Don't tell me that there are express editions, that ones are toys 
for children. 
            As a professional I must know how to manage eclipse for java/php 
development, how to manage vs for dotnet/aspnet development, how to use notepad 
or other editor to do xhtml/html layouts and so on. 
            best regards

              From what I have read and seen the VS 2008 or VWD 2008 platform 
and the Sql Server or Sql Server Express (R2) versions because they are newer, 
are the most accessible development platform if you want a development IDE. 
              Otherwise some folks develop in a editor like notepad. 
              There are a bunch of stand-alone editors for building Websites 
but I've not used them so can't speak to accessibility. 
              I would worry that they would try and do things like the VS 
Designers but that they would not have the necessary hooks or scripts to make 
them work at all. 
              Also, if they try and do Intellisense they might have that 
inaccessible as well. 
              Newer versions might use WPF or what ever the newer accessibility 
hooks for Linux and may not be accessible. 
              It is my understanding that the Dreamweaver and other software 
put out by that compn=any was suppose to be getting more accessible but I've 
not used it and don't know anyone who has used it with a screen reader. 
              I guess what I am saying is that I have tried a couple of other 
things over the past 10 years or so and not found one that has all the bells 
and whistles and is accessible as the VS environment. The 2010 version of 
anything put out by Microsoft is not going to be nearly as accessible as the 
2008 versions since the 2010 versions use WPF and none of the current screen 
readers support it very well. Also, the JAWS scripts for VS will not work 
properly with 2010 versions. 
              It is likely your instructor will have you using whatever the 
class uses but if not you can either stay with what you know or try something 
new - it's up to you in that case. 
              You could try developing using another IDE and, or, get into 
stuff like PHP and MySql using some kind of Website development environment but 
I have never looked at any of them. 
              Others might have some suggestions on either hand-coding 
everything using text editors or using another platform like Dreamweaver or 
some Linux based system. 
              Later Marv and good luck:
