Develop HTML 5 Applications with Aptana Studio 3

I remember when I built the very first version of C# Corner in 1999 in FrontPage. I was writing my HTML and ASP pages using FrontPage. This is how C# Corner home page looked like back in Jan 2000.

Then ASP.NET and Visual Web Developer tool were introduced by Microsoft. Since then, I have never really looked for another IDE. Visual Studio till now has been good to me. But now things are changing fast. More and more I look outside of Microsoft, there are many more useful tools that are free are out there specially for HTML 5 and CSS 3.

I just received Murach's HTML 5 and CSS 3 book written by Zak Ruvalcaba and Anne Boehm. I was reading the book and first thing I noticed was Aptana Studio 3. I searched for this tool and found it very interesting. It is an open source IDE and really easy to use.

Aptana Studio 3 is an open source development tool to develop and test your entire web application using a single environment. It provides support for the latest browser technology specs such as HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Ruby, Rails, PHP and Python.
