[TriLUG] Developer environment for starting programmer

[Stephen Bryant]

In the past I've had good luck with Aptana Studio. It works well with a wide variety of web stacks, and it's built on Eclipse so it's readily cross-platform. It supports FTP/SFTP as well, so you can easily work on remote files.

Since he does not have command over the terminal yet, editing files by hand (vi, etc) over an SSH session are a little out of his reach.  I am looking for a good IDE he can use to edit his files remotely from his laptop.  Years ago, I used MS Frontpage (yeah, I know, this is a Linux thread), but the tool was easy to use and allowed me to get my hands wet with web site building.
