Picking a Development Environment

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I need to do some heavy customization to ProductCart, and I am
new to VBScript – ASP development.  I
have done extensive development in PHP using Zend development environment and I
like the integrated debugger and project editor.

Does anyone have recommendation for a VBScript project
development environment or do you know what tools are used by EarlyImpact to develop
ProductCart.

	Hi Karisa, Just thought I'd try and revive interest in this thread by posting a quick reply - I'm curious about it as well. Personally I use GVIM - which is a powerful text editor with a strong Unix history. It's very unusual for use on windows but great, for me anyway as I worked with UNIX and VIM quite a bit in the past. It's about as far from an IDE as you can get though, apart from it's ability to color the code.

	Try any of the following: Microsoft FrontPage, Adobe DreamWeaver, MS InterDev, MS Visual Studio. For a lower end editor try Ace HTML (http://software.visicommedia.com/en/products/acehtml/)

	I would not suggest the use of MS FrontPage. It is a dead product with no future releases or support from Microsoft. It was end of lifed 2 years ago, the server extensions have not been updated in 6 years, and it can break ProductCart if used on certain files.

	I'd like to find a tool that lets me step through / debug the ProductCart code. Our store (powered by ProductCart) is my company's only use of Microsoft tools/technologies, so I would be quite happy with a tool that can do "legacy" ASP and not much else. My requirements are: 1) Must be able to debug ProductCart's ASP source code (step into, examine variables, etc.) 2) I'd buy a $500 tool with a simple (but effective) integrated debugger over a $1500 tool with all sorts of bells & whistles. I would also like to know what tools others are using (especially the folks at Early Impact).

	http://www.remotedebugger.com/team_remote_asp_debugger.asp This looks like exactly what I need. Has anyone used it (or know anything about it)?

	Try Homesite. This was the best html editing software - and MacroMedia purchased it a few years ago. Good for raw coding, as FrontPage is a wysiwig which causes codes to be poluted and just pure mess up VB code. Anyway, Macromedia had taken it off the shelves a few years ago, but because hard coders still use it, they brought back a new version but I don't think it's supported. You can buy it online at Allaire or ... Macromedia. (search for Homesite 5.5 I think that's the version) It is simple to use and not as complex as the wyswig of Dream Weaver.
