Aptana is a new integrated development environment for building interactive web pages. It’s likely to be a big hit among Web 2.0 developers since it facilitates speedy coding of JavaScript behaviors and CSS styles. Aptana has a nice code assistant that’s customizable, and the application ships with several popular JavaScript libraries that developers can import and employ. The app comes with third-party libraries like JQuery, Prototype, script.aculo.us, Yahoo UI and Dojo, among others.
