Just a quick example on creating floatable windows

Time and time again, I have debugging bugs and redeveloping code which some I wrote but mostly done by others as well. Experience is still my best teacher in web development and I believe it would be a heavier burden later on if we continuously pursue rapid development without any testing at all.
You may have heard of writing test cases before diving into code which is well known as Test Driven Development. This methodology has been widely adapted in programming (Java thru JUnit, etc). Following Kent Beck’s Test Driven Development (TDD) we will follow this simple method:
I recently downloaded Aptana Studio 1.1 Community Edition and have been using it mostly for my Javascript/ColdFusion development.
But one of the major problems I encountered was the startup. Sometimes, for some unknown reason, Aptana cannot start using the executable it provided during the install. However, I was able to weed that problem out by instead launching it from startup.jar. All of these is documented from Aptana’s JIRA ticket.
1. Downloaded and install Aptana
2. Watched Aptana TV Overview
3. Installed cfeclipse http://www.cfeclipse.org/update
4. Installed viPlugin http://satokar.com/ (Note that the viPlugin would not work with files = *.html)
5. Added the extjs2.0 code assist
This has been a productivity hogger for us for quite a few weeks and we really had no clue at it first. What I noticed was after enabling logging on trac.ini:
[logging] log_file = trac.log log_level = CRITICAL log_type = file
was that every post was being sent to an SMTP server.
