Great post, pictures work better than terms, thanks for your effort
Only that WinGrep seems to be not available on my WIN 7 Pro, any hint for that ??
I just started to make use of TortoiseSVN, seems to be working flawless with Subclipse in a PDT installation. Complex but digestable…

Yaa, I knew from something somewhere that you were OS X based. But still, I’m sure you could explicate a 101 while juggling chain-saws.

My method of proceeding is pretty crude: I see how many tangles I can incur in the shortest amount of time … point being to sniff out how a naive user is likely to get tripped up.
First thing I hit was that Aptana and Zend tools don’t play together well in Eclipse; Bill Lazar at Aptana invited me to start a ticket, which I did on their trac [1].
Immediate payoff was to find out that a) Shalom Gibly at Aptana is formerly from Zend (interesting back-story!), b) that Bill is a WP fan, and that c) Aptana has a “community edition” on the shelf somewhere. (Aptana arose out of Eclipse, did you know that?)
So just how to string these together remains un-substantiated. (Separate Eclipse profiles, one for Zend tools and another with Aptana? with Subversion sitting in the wings? Until I know that sorta thing positively I say I don’t know at all.)

So that’s where things sit right now. I just discovered BuddyPress so heh am very pleasantly distracted.

Ben that sounds like a great idea. I do use Eclipse on a day-to-day basis now as my main WordPress dev environment, however I have moved over to OS X rather than Windows.

HiYa – Got here and to Mark Jaquith’s “commit” post from Trac frontpage. Here’s what I’m thinking (I’ll copy this to Mark’s blog in a minute [1]): a couple of 101-style articles on basics … Eclipse/PHP with Subversion … or maybe Aptana, not sure. Thing is I’ve mucked by way through various IDEs over the past ?what? 3 decades, but not this. So if I can hook up with someone who uses this sort of setup day to day, I would co-author. Maybe you can hook me up with someone you know?

best of the season to you
