CODE:

I noticed you write pretty frequently about Magento. I currently use Coda (on a Mac), but want to migrate over to an IDE like Netbeans. I was wondering if you could to a "Best Practices" post about setting up Magento in Netbeans? I feel a bit lost in that arena. Thank you! Thank you for this article!
