WordPress Mac OS X Sample Toolsets - BKJackson/BKJackson_Wiki GitHub Wiki
Circa Aug-2010 Here is my essential toolset for Mac OS X (always looking for better.) Note i tried NetBeans and gave up on it. Too sluggish and too few features.
- PhpStorm+XDEBUG - Debugging IDE (Nothing better on the MAC)
- VirtualHostX - Manages Apache Virtual Hosts Locally (I LOVE this)
- FileZilla - FTP Client
- Firefox Firebug - jQuery Debugging
- Navicat for MySQL - Commercial MySQL client
- Unfuddle.com - SVN Repository and Task Management for client projects
- HTTP Scoop - Reasonable HTTP debugger
- Fraise - Lightweight Text Editor (Fork of Smultron)
