Hey guys, im considering starting on some wordpress themes, so as someone who has never used wordpress i must ask, what software do you use to code your themes?

Also, if anyone has any tips, they are much appreciated :)

Thanks

Jay

Since Wordpress is just PHP , you can use any text editor. I use Zend Studio.

You can code wp in Coda or PSPad or any other simple text editor with syntax highlighting and code whisperer. Zend Studio is WAY to complex if you don’t know how to use it. I also use Dreamweaver with code view.

I must confess that I love Dreamweaver (Code view) DW is complete but to slow for my likely. I love even more CODA and Espresso I actually use both :)
