Here are some links to useful resources around the web. Please note that I only list websites that I have personally found useful or used in the past, so please do not ask your site to be listed here, since I don't do any sort of link sharing with phpInDev. However, if you are running a RuneScape related website, then you may be interested in the affiliation offered at Rust Siderbar's website.

Software

  • PHPEdit - http://waterproof.fr
    PHPEdit is the php editor I use for maintaining this website and my open source projects. The editor is commercial, but there is personal license request available for those who use it for noncommercial purposes like me.
  • Notepad++ - http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net
    Notepad++ is relatively lighweight general purpose programming editor. While it is not as feature rich as full IDE, it still works well for general purpose editing of different text files.
  • Game Maker - http://www.yoyogames.com
    Game Maker is a simple game creation tool which works well for developing your own 2d games. The tool is especially good for learning the process of game creation, since more emphasis can be placed on game design and less on code, since Game Maker provides a very good base engine to work on.
  • BBclone - http://bbclone.de
    BBclone is php based website counter, which uses flatfile for data storage. The counter comes with relatively extensive features, such as user agent tracking, time based statistics and user visit tracking. It uses no cookies and relies solely on infnormation available to PHP.

Websites

  • W3Schools - http://www.w3schools.com
    W3Schools contains some basic information about web technologies such as HTML, XHTML, CSS and Javascript. The site is most often very useful for checking the HTML/CSS references to make sure how some tags work and if you need to know that available attributes and such.
  • PHP Freaks - http://www.phpfreaks.com
    PHP related website with lots of PHP material and particularly active community forums where you can ask all your PHP related questions. While the quality of help is not always guaranteed, there are quite a few experts there too.
