When I started coding in PHP, it drove me batty. It was the first errorless coding language I had used. I could have 300 lines of perfectly working code, but one extra semicolon would turn the whole thing into a blank white screen with no indication why. Talk about maddening.
I turned to Google for a free PHP editor, and I ran into the usual sea of keyword flotsam and jetsam. Spam sites, malware, the whole nine yards. But a few entries down, I found some software that changed my life and helped me get into a coding career: RapidPHP.
I know we all have to make a sale at some point, but Blumentals Software, the maker of RapidPHP, did something I haven't seen before: offer a full version free with absolutely no payment information needed. No gotchas, no bounced checking accounts in 30 days when you forget about your free trial. You get a quality editor, not just for PHP, but for CSS, HTML, and JavaScript too.
The extras are way too many to list, but if you want enough worry-free time to build up a web project, I cannot say enough praise for RapidPHP. I revisited the site tonight and in a few clicks I was requesting one of my free lifetime upgrades. I had forgotten my email and product key but was still able to get a product key. If that isn't friendly automated customer service, I don't know what is.
Check it out at http://www.blumentals.net/rapidphp/. This isn't an affiliate link that will compensate me a single cent. Like many resources I will be covering, I'll be mentioning it because it's just that helpful. Let me know what you think!
