Your web page for 50€

Cesar Tardaguila in design-nation has been finding billboards advertising the creation of web pages from as little as 50€ and wonders where this is all going. Do the potential purchasers understand what they are getting for their money?

The perfect IDE

Javier Pérez in JavierPérez muses on the various IDEs that he has used. Zend Studio is great for programming in PHP, but has not support for JavaScript and little for HTML and CSS, all languages that are indispensable for creating a web site. Visual Studio .NET 2005 and Visual Studio .NET Express (available for free download from Microsoft) are great when you want to work with Windows .NET. For working with Java, there are two very good tools, Netbeans and Eclipse. An IDE that isn't well known is KDevelop, for developing KDE applications, which is both complete and simple. Do you choose the IDE based on the language in which you are going to develop, or the language based on the IDE that you want to use?
