I like netbeans but i feel its very heavy, maybe extra RAM will solve the problem. I have 1 question in these pictured i noticed Class names over each block, how I can get this while development? Well written post, thnx.

You see, before i made jump to PHP I was working on a ASP.NET and C#... Debugging .Net stuff with Visual Studio and debugging PHP with Xdebug or any other so called debugger out there are completely two different worlds. This is where Microsoft beats open source at any step. I stand with what I say here. Using XDebug with Magento or any other bigger project will make you regret you ever lost time on it. It simply DOES NOT WORK! It breaks you Apache every now and then. And it simply does not do the debugging the right way, it does not traverse all included files and so on... My advice, use Zend_Debug::dump($someVar); with Magento. This might be the stupidest form of debugging while using advanced IDEs but at least it works. I say stupidest because it is time consuming when you have to var_dump or debug or whatever on each variable you want to check. Then after your finished you delete all those debug, var_dump and print_r... You see my point. Hi Scott,

Perhaps an idea for another article? :) Ah, I was hoping you’d share how to debug and traverse complex apps like M in NetBeans. Perhaps an idea for another article? :)
