Best program for web development?

Hello everyone
I was just wondering what is in your opinion the best tool for creating web based applications (or even desktop based applications).
I have used Jdeveloper and Dreamweaver before and Jdeveloper had a lot more functionality out of the box but Dreamweaver seemed to give me more freedom (especially when working with the design part of my page).
Also Jdeveloper is a lot more complex but I think without fully understanding every aspect of it you can develop some pretty nifty applications. My main gripe is the deployment which has to have the same version of weblogic and Jdeveloper and you have to install Jdeveloper on the server (the weblogic server alone isn't enough) to support ADF etc.
I don't have experience in the other ones (NetBeans, Eclipse, Visual Studio etc)
So the question is which is the best for web development: Visual Studio, Jdeveloper, Apex, Dreamweaver, NetBeans, IntelliJ, Eclipse etc???

Dreamweaver is for the view part only, as in the (X)HTML and CSS stuff. You aren't going to do Java development using Dreamweaver.
There is no definitive answer to your question as you are basically asking this: what are my personal preferences? Nobody can answer that, only you. So there is nothing you can do but download everything you want to try and actually do that: try it out. See what feels good and what doesn't. Only then will you be able to make a choice.
All I can give you at this point in time is MY personal preferences, which do not have to be the same as yours at all. I use Eclipse for full blown JavaEE development because there are a few plugins available for Eclipse that are not available for Netbeans that I really like and use to good effects (mostly related to JBoss). For everything else however, which includes Swing development, game development and plain Java web development I use Netbeans because to me it is a more "polished" product where things such as Subversion and Maven integration just work without conflicts.

  • Best book for Web Developer learning flash

    I've gotten far on my own just using online tutorials and dinking around in Flash on my own but my boss(es) are starting to ask for more complex stuff that I simply can't learn by just piecing together my Flash education.
    I know there's many, many books out there that will teach you Flash but can anyone recommend any particular one(s) that are more concentrated in creating Web elements as opposed to game or animation development?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    I hope this link would be helpful for you books For web developer Using Flash by "William Sanders"

  • T440s for WEB developer

    Hello,
    I am a web developer developing intensive web apps using Java, JavaScript, LifeRay, MySQL etc. It means I have many things going on on my laptop like:
    - IDE for editing the code
    - MySQL server
    - HTTP server to run developed apps
    - Many browser windows to test the app
    I am looking for a main development machine that will be fast for my needs plus that can be used while commuting so portability is important for me.
    440s looks like a good machine BUT I am not sure about low powered intel CPU.  This is exact model I am looking into: ThinkPad T440s 14" / i5-4210U 1.7 GHz / 8 Gt / 256 Gt SSD
     1.7 GHz sounds very limiting. My current laptop has 2.5 GHz speed and browser windows are opened very fast. But if I try to slow down the CPU to 1.7 GHz similar to T440s browser windows starts to open with considerable annoying delays. 
    Ofcourse when slowing down CPU I also disable Turbo Boost.  
    Now the question: Is T440s good for web development with liferay etc? Will turbo boost solve the problem of slow opening chrome windows I experienced with another 1.7 GHz laptop? Generally, anyone have similar experience with this laptop? Any help will be appreciated.

  • Best program for JAVA?

    Hello I am new to java who can tell me the best program for writing java for beginner?

    I looked at notepad before but I do not like it. It
    not have many features.At this point, don't worry about features. Use a simple editor until you can do the following comfortably:
    1) Compile (multiple source) programs from the command line.
    2) Understand and fix compiler errors that show up.
    3) Set the CLASSPATH and fix problems that arise when the JVM can't find the Classes it needs.
    4) Run your program using the 'java' command line
    5) Read and understand Stack Traces that occur when your program runs.
    6) Use the 'jar' utility to bundle your program
    Then, and only then worry about moving on to an Editor/IDE that provides rich development features. If you don't understand the fundamentals of compiling and running Java programs, an IDE will only serve as a crutch.

  • Best program for keeping lists?

    What is the best program for keeping lists on an iPhone? I see several "to do" programs on Apple Web App site, but wondered if anyone had a good list program or had feedback about the "to do" apps.

    They all work about the same in my experience. Since none of them sync I don't find them exceptionally useful.
    The way I do it is I type all my to-do's in the notes field on a dummy contact in Address Book / Outlook. This way it syncs the notes field with my computer.
    Not pretty, but it gets the job done for now.

    What is the best program for designing event flyers? I am looking for something basic and simple.

    Poor old Photoshop® is forever being put down when it comes to layout work, but it is perfectly capable, and can output a high quality print PDF the printer will be perfectly happy with.  OK you don't have the text flow between columns bells and whistles of InDesign and [spit] Publisher, but if you have a $10/month Photoshop/Lightroom subscription, instead of the $50/month full subscription, don't think you can't do a perfectly good flyer or poster.

    Spry can do this for you.  See some samples here:

    Or there are commercially available menu systems from the likes of companies like Project Seven, whom I would personally recommend:

    If you have used FreeHand before it is sill FreeHand of
    course - as long as it works in our OS and there are no new
    features you like to use.
    If you have documents with a lot of text elements and
    multiple pages InDesign may be the second best choice. For
    typography it is the best tool available.
    Illustrator is more for illustrations, although it seems that
    it has good control for type it is clumsy and there are a few major
    bugs that makes it unsuitable for body text.

  • Best Program for editing quicktime movies

    What is the best program for editing quicktime movies.
    For example, I have several quicktime movies in the 4:3 aspect ratio, but the video is ment to be 16:9 so there is black on the top and bottom. I want to be able to crop out the black and make the video file a true 16:9 wide screen video becuase my laptop has a widescreen 16:10 aspect ratio lcd. And when playing back these videos, you end up with a couple inches of black on the top and bottom, and right and left, so a lot of screen space get's waisted. The only programs I have found so far that can make a 16:9 quicktime video have not supported the H.264 format, and only stetch the video to 16:9 rather then croping it, so the black remains on the top and bottom and the aspect ratio is off and every one looks short and fat becuase it's not in its native aspect ratio correctly.
    Does anyone have any advice on what program I should use?
    Also, does anyone have any recomendatiosn for how to convert wmv files to quicktime / itunes videos? I have found one program that does so, but it comes out very blocky and the audio is out of sync with the video by a good five seconds.
    Thanks

    MPEG Streamclip (free) can crop and Save As so you wouldn't need to add any new compression to the existing files.
    The make a Windows version now (it used to be Mac only).
    No tips on converting WMP files but you'll find dozens of solutions in the iPod Discussions pages.

  • What is the best program for creating cd inserts for coverart of a  CD?

    I am in a band and need to know the best program for cd artwork.

    If you're more concerned about designing them than about printing them yourself (which would cost a comparative fortune using an inkjet printer, and look crummy using a color laser printer), then Photoshop and Illustrator are by far the best design tools available.

  • Best certification for a developer

    Hi all.
    I'm a developer and my company asked me to get a SAP certificate.
    They let me choose the certification i prefere, so i'm here with some simple questions:
    1-What is the best certificate for a developer? (i worked on R/3 4.7 release for 4 years and now i'm moving on 6.0).
    2-Why?
    3-How the exam works? (mnemonic questions? Solving problems? Developing some pieces of code?)
    4-What is the best way to pass the exam? (SAP courses, books, voodoo rites )
    Thank you for the answers.

    Hi Simone,
    1-What is the best certificate for a developer? (i worked on R/3 4.7 release for 4 years and now i'm moving on 6.0).
    2-Why?
    3-How the exam works? (mnemonic questions? Solving problems? Developing some pieces of code?)
    4-What is the best way to pass the exam? (SAP courses, books, voodoo rites )
    These are the answers:
    1-There is nothing like best certification---U attempt for that in which you work. If u wrk in WD ABAP for examplr then you should take ABAP with netweaver. Or u shud get certified in the tech in which u r planning to wrk in future.
    2-This certification gives an assurance to ur company and client that the person is competent enough to face challenges in the technology certified.So if u wrk in ABAP and certified in JAVA that will not be of much use.
    3-Different exams have different passing percentages. All exams are multiple choices ( more than one aswers can be right). The exams are conducted by Pearson Vue for SAP and they have various exam centres accross the globe.
    4-Best Way: If you are working in tht tech for some time then u need sam prepration ( ebooks or SAP training) for clearing it.
    If it is new for u then go through the E-books very thoroughly and do some hands on to understand the concepts.
    I hope it helps.
    Regards,
