Aptana, Inc. is a company that makes web application development tools for Web 2.0 and Ajax for use with a variety of programming languages (including JavaScript, Ruby, PHP and Python). Aptana's main products are Aptana Studio, Aptana Cloud and Aptana Jaxer.
Aptana Studio is an open source integrated development environment (IDE) for building Ajax web applications. It includes support for JavaScript, HTML, DOM, and CSS with code-completion, outlining, JavaScript debugging, error and warning notification and integrated documentation. Additional plugins allow Aptana Studio to be extended to support Ruby on Rails, PHP, Python, Perl, Adobe AIR, Apple iPhone and Nokia WRT (Web Runtime). Aptana Studio is based on Eclipse and is available as standalone on Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, or as a plugin for Eclipse.
PHP has returned to Aptana for version 3.0 with code formatter only and without debugging and code assist.
As of version 2.0, Aptana no longer provided its own PHP plugin, but has transferred development efforts to the PDT project.
