This is a rambling question so would be grateful if you could bear with me.
I’m looking for advice regarding the development environment of choice for developing web applications. Now, I’m no web programmer. My history is in-depth Delphi for Win 32 apps, some
VB and a smattering of other languages plus a pretty good knowledge of SQL.
But, it’s time to drag myself into the 21st Century and get to grips with developing web applications. I do not want to go the
VB route if I can avoid it. I’m too much steeped in the style of Borland products. (Not the products themselves, the
style of the products as a complete development environment)
So, the question is: which development environments (Open source hopefully) would anyone recommend which have a decent design GUI, good help systems for the coding side and a very good connectivity to open source multi-user databases (e.g. Firebird)?
I realise I’m being a bit prescriptive here so any general comments appreciated.
Regards
