So, as a programmer, you should have a development environment that you're comfortable with. For me, I use XAMPP, Chrome, and Sublime Text 2 everytime I code something. So, instead of having to open 3 different applications every single time that I want to code, I decided that I needed to find a solution that will open all the applications I need in one click! So, here is the code!

Code:
@[USER=30873]Echo[/USER] off
 
start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Sublime Text 2\sublime_text.exe"
start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
start C:\xampp\xampp-control.exe

Simply open notepad, and paste this code, and save it as (whatever you want).bat then save it onto your desktop.

You could make something of this for website developers, have each different browser ie. ie, ff and chrome etc. all open up the website they're testing at once to test responsiveness and compatibility.

Not bad not bad. Could you then enter this into msconfig > startup and have it run when your computer boots up so they open on load?

You could do this, you could also create some sort of webdev help software with this integrated etc.

Simple but useful. When I had my desktop I always rather done if manually, and had 1 folder on my entire desktop named Butterfly with any projects and tons of past projects. Lmao guess I'm different....9/10

It doesn't look good in my eyes. I can't deny that pinning things to your taskbar is useful, but it makes my eyes bleed.
Stupid reason is stupid.

Also, what happens when you accidentally close one of the three programs you have in your batch script? Oh that's right, you'll just open it back up the normal way.

Are we really that lazy? :p
Yes and why not use lighttpd with fastcgi-php and use notepad++. That would be more useful as a devlopment environment. even easyphp is better then xampp... you need to have latest php version and a small powerful web server ;3

Well, if you were to close one of them, you'd likely be closing the rest, considering each program is apart of your development environment.

Never heard of easyphp until now. Thanks for the share, I'll be looking into it.
