Welcome back! Coder by Gleentech is back. Today, I decided to get a view testing on Netbeans for nodejs and php coding.

I installed again on my MacOS 10.15, for a new chance. I imported my php project for my WordPress 5.8 theme and design.

 We heard about netbeans as a good ide. Today is an awesome tool.

I used atom, vs code before for coding php and Nodejs but I came always back to Netbeans. It was always my preferred ide. I coded Java there too. Nothing more than Java.

Why I chose NetBeans?

I chose back again the ide because is a wonderful ide, can be Java RAD, Nodejs and php very good ide.

Nowadays, the ide can do almost everything the other ides can do. Even can do more with Java. I am talking about how the php and Nodejs is simpler  here.

You can find intellisense. Have a smart way to detect the code functions we type.

Yes, I am aware of being a heavy ide, but I won’t talk it about it here.

When we import or create a new project for php and Nodejs we can mix them. Yes, we can. We can type I/O blocking apis for Nodejs and behave them on the php front-end.

We can do everything with NeatBeans. It’s a very smart code ide, with a strong typed idea tags.

This can be a solution for your projects, open source or not.

I use this for both nowadays. Mostly the time was for open source, now I use for both.

I think for the first time running it takes time because the ide is not ready for your os running. So, the indenting and indexing files take time.

Even when I import my WordPress folders, the NeatBeans take time to index or refresh the folders itself.

By the way you can code and type applications with Cordova, apache multi devices code basis.

I am not used to code Cordova but I mention it.

You can install Wakatime too for NetBeans already. This tool can manage your time uptime, coding on your laptop or desktop. Wakatime have already a lot ides compatible. To install wakatime you should install from their website, then install as add plugin, after itself will read your wakatime id key.

I am writing this article to give my opinion about NetBeans and the best tool you can find today.

Happy Coding!
