Thought I would test out Jing to create my first screencast. The star of my show is, of course, Drupal and the helper is Komodo. Alright, it's more about Komodo but it's a trick to view variables available for theming for a Drupal page. I find this to be very useful!

Had to add a little more detail to a clients site, http://www.renbp.com, today and the Komodo IDE is really doing the trick. I am not an "advanced" programmer but I really find the code collapsing, code coloring, code completion becoming a real necessity. The code completion on my CSS sheet is really great. I also from time to time find myself having to edit Apache2 virtual host files and .htaccess files and am eager try out the Rx Toolkit.

Well, I had a much better blog entry for this but my browser crashed before I had a chance to submit. So here is my brief link list for help with setting up Komodo for use in debugging and developing in Drupal.
