So I've cranked up the linux box for sandbox development of wordpress themes and plugins. Sounds interesting, doesn't it? Well, for a hard-core java programmer moving back into PHP doesn't immediately seem like a step up, but here we are, eh dear reader? And this may be where the business is in Bulgaria these days …. WordPress is a perfectly good Content Management System (CMS), and It's likely that skills in this CMS will prove useful in this country at this time. I installed NetBeans, the latest version. Installed apache2, php, all that good stuff with apt-get and aptitutude. And finally I went to http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/php/wordpress-screencast.html for a quick tutorial on how to setup a wordpress plugin project. Good stuff, eh? Let's see where this goes. If you're interested, I can write a post on the setup procedures which got me here. Just try and get XDebug and all this running on windows, pee-yew.
