Yahoo’s UI Blog and Design pattern Library have interesting topics on patterns to follow while designing UI’s for Web 2.0 applications. In the old web, an action almost always followed a page reload or an intrusive Javascript pop-up, indicating that the action was complete. In the age of Ajax, how do we communicate the action completion to the user?Transitions are a powerful way to communicate change in a user interface. Transitions can communicate a change in relationships between elements on a page or a change in an element’s state. Additionally, when interactions are complex or involve important changes transitions can be used to slow down an interaction allowing the user to “see what just happened.” During lengthy processes, transitions can be used to make time seem to pass faster by distracting the user during the waiting time.

With the widespread acceptance of Ajax (and the resurgence of Flash) new ways of interacting on the web have emerged. In many ways, these interactions are not new. Interactions like drag and drop and inline editing have been mainstream on desktop applications for over 20 years. What is new, though, is the emergence of these idioms on the web.

PHPEdit is an (IDE) for PHP development. PHPEdit provides a powerful debugger (based on DBG) and profiler, code beautifier, help integration (with PHPDocumentor), real time syntax checker, code completion, code hints and much more.
The current version is a huge improvement over the previous version (1.x) which I tried out last year. This version is very stable, the older version did have it’s share of stability issues.
They’ve added an extension API to PHPEdit to allow PHPEdit functionality to be enhance and extend the IDE. Some of the cool extensions available now are:
1. FTP/sFTP Extension, which allows you to work on files directly from a ftp server
2. Source Control Extension,which adds CVS and SubVersion support to the IDE.
But be warned that these extensions are commercial, which means that you’ll have to shell out cash for each one of the extensions.
The commercial cost of the IDE is 89.00€. They also provide a free personal license for non-commercial use. To get the Personal Licence, you’ll have to register on the site and place a request for your personal license. Each request is personally looked into before they send a license out.
