If you are regularly developing dynamic websites, you probably have the need for a fast and powerful development environment. Notepad may do the job for short scripts but when it comes to creating more complex applications, it’s your salary that goes down the drain if you’re wasting too much time on coding.
Personnally I’ve been using CodeCharge Studio from YesSoftware for about four years (since version 2) to develop PHP websites. While I haven’t used any other programming languages it offers, here are its possibilities:
- PHP 4/5
- ASP 3.0
- ASP.NET C#
- ASP.NET VB
- CFML 4.01/MX
- JSP 1.1 JDK 1.3
- Perl 5.0
- Servlets 2.2 JDK 1.3
CodeCharge Studio allows you to create multilingual applications by storing text content in a language file. This way you can even have contributors translating your application in various languages. CodeCharge supports most open source and commercial database formats.
Enough talk, let me show how you fast it can create a record form to manage data from a MySQL table. For this video, I’ve used the database from this post. The only thing I’ve created in advance is the ODBC link and the folder on my webserver.

This is not a tutorial, it just goes to show you how much time you can save with CodeCharge Studio.
Time spent developing: 7:25 minutes.
I also love the fact that I can learn to use a single development environment for multiple programming languages.
So suppose usually that you would have charged $70 for this two-hour project, you would have made $35 an hour for coding this from scratch. Using CodeCharge, you could’ve done it in half an hour, charged your client $60 (to be slightly cheaper than your competitors) and you would have made $120 an hour.
That’s a 343% increase in profitability.
If you’re not a programmer and you’re hiring someone to do that, maybe you want to see how they’re coding and where goes your money.
