Introduction of Javascript IDE- APTANA

Coding in JavaScript is always cumbersome.Programmer always find difficult debugging in JavaScript.There is one IDE which help javascript programmer.That is Aptana Studio.
Aptana Studio is an open source integrated development environment (IDE) for building Ajax web applications. It includes support for JavaScript, HTML, DOM, and CSS with code-completion, outlining, JavaScript debugging, error and warning notification and integrated documentation. Additional plugins allow Aptana Studio to be extended to support Ruby on Rails, PHP, Python, Perl[1], Adobe AIR, Apple iPhone and Nokia WRT (Web Runtime).
Aptana, Inc. is a company making web application development tools for Web 2.0 and Ajax for use with programming languages such as JavaScript, Ruby, PHP and Python. Aptana’s main products are Aptana Studio, Aptana Cloud and Aptana Jaxer.Aptana is both a set of plugins that may be installed into an Eclipse install, or installed as a standalone Rich Client App.If you’re starting fresh, only planning to do HTML/CSS/JS, or don’t want to deal with a large amount of plugins inside one install, then I recommend getting the Aptana standalone. (You can still install Eclipse plugins into it, but you’re starting off with only the plugins you need for web development).
