A free and open source cutting edge IDE (Intergrated Development Environment) for those who is looking for developing ajax application, and cool web presentation and plus recently it has just added an ability to develop ruby on rails application. Aptana seems to be a new IDE which run like Eclipe because it mix all those technologies together to be a better IDE.

The Aptana IDE is a free, open-source, cross-platform, JavaScript-focused development environment for building Ajax applications. It features code assist on JavaScript, HTML, and CSS languages, FTP/SFTP support and a JavaScript debugger to troubleshoot your code.

Aptana IDE + Rails is an environment for building Ruby on Rails applications. It showcases a number of features to make both your Ruby and your Ruby on Rails as productive as possible.

I’ve been in love doing my work, web design and development so far with Macromedia Dreamweaver (Before) now Adobe Dreamweaver and eclipse for sometime but eclipse is not a really good working with web design, it is good for doing the development, php. So why eclipse is popular? Dreamweaver is costly, Eclipse is free!

However, a new requirement for working with new technology is always on demand. RubyonRails, a new framework buzzing the web development world has been around for years and many developers have jumped and tried out this new technology for their world changing application development in the web 2.0 era and as well i’ve been trying it around from weeks but feel like it’s still not easy to code from a normal text editor. Actually there is RadRails, a plug in for Eclipse IDE to make eclipse a better environment for developing rails application. Now Aptana has took this power to its IDE by integrating the plugin into its IDE directly to make Rails application more easier. Great News!

Great news, because now you can have an IDE for rails and front-end development (xhtml, css, javacript, ajax) especially the ajax that power the modern applications. Grab this power? Go to download page. It’s power, it’s free!
