<i>Shawn Stratton</i> has an <a href="http://www.shawnstratton.info/startups-and-working-environments">interesting new post</a> to his blog about startups, working environments and a few ideas that could change things a good bit for the average developer's workplace.
</p>
<blockquote>
I've come to
several conclusions after making observations on several articles by
successful founders, thinking back on the startups I've seen and
interacted with, and seeing the common mistakes that have been made
thus far in the businesses and projects I've been involved in and let
me just state that it has been a most interesting journey.
</blockquote>
<p>
He suggests a few things that could make up an "idea workspace" scenario including less (required) work hours and more time off, giving full benefits, promoting an open environment instead of a "cube farm" and the encouragement to always keep learning. He even suggests something that could help make it easier - replacing a lot of the usual means (like books and training courses) with a Kindle loaded and ready to go.
</p>
<blockquote>
I'm hereby making an open call for people to argue with or
contribute to my ideas, let's fix what's wrong with the current
corporations and thereby making our economy and our lifestyles sick
and dying.

      <title><![CDATA[Stefan Mischook's Blog: A Quick Look at Dreamweaver CS4 and the PHP Toolset]]></title>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>
<i>Stefan Mischook</i> has <A href="http://www.killersites.com/dreamweaver/cs4/">written up an article</a> about the combination of a popular, powerful web development tool - Dreamweaver - and how it works with PHP.
</p>
<blockquote>
We are going to take a quick look at the changes to Dreamweaver CS4, specifically concentrating on the things related to working with PHP. At the same time, I may weave in a few nerd-concepts here and there, so that we can gently get you used to this stuff.
</blockquote>
<p>
He starts off looking at the interface Dreamweaver has to offer and then moves on to more advanced topics like workspaces and some of the tools available (like the layout features and how it directly integrates things for PHP like database connections and the inclusion of a "classic" code editor).

On her blog, <i>Tiffany Brown</i> has <a href="http://tiffanybbrown.com/2007/05/15/review-workspace/">a review</a> of an online editing resource she came across that can help you write code and work with remote files via a web interface - <a href="http://www.createworkspace.com/">WorkSpace</a> (including HTML, JavaScript, CSS, PHP, SQL, Java, and Perl documents).
</p>
<blockquote>
WorkSpace - which currently is currently in limited beta testing - is an online text editing environment with an eye towards web development. You can create documents and save them in your hosted sandbox, or directly to your server via FTP.
</blockquote>
<p>
She <a href="http://tiffanybbrown.com/2007/05/15/review-workspace/">talks about</a> her experiences with it - both the good and the bad. She liked the simplicity of it all but thought it lacked a few of the features it needed. She also mentions the lack of version control in the application.
</p>
<blockquote>
I do like the idea behind WorkSpace. [...] The downside is that you're trusting a company with all of your web site data. I'm not sure the slight gain in the ability to work remotely is worth the trade-off of giving WorkSpace server access.
