Programers should spend their time crushing code, not on setting up domains and configuring editors. San Francisco startup Koding has raised a$2 million Series A from RTPVentures and Greycroft to eradicate friction for programmers with its browser-based cloud development platform and developer community.

As of today Koding lets you program remotely in a wide variety oflanguages, quickly configure WordPress, Joomla, and web servers, and meet other developers who can be instantly authorized to work on your environment. Developers can even ditch localhost and get a free hosted server to work on.

Koding was founded in mid-2011 when co-founder & CEO Devrim Yasar discovered how tedious it was to get a development project started. When he launched the first iteration of Koding that handled basic tasks like domain and FTP setup, 10,000 developers jumped on board in the first two weeks. Now over 40,000 have signed up.

Today Kodingreleases a big expansion, allowing for full software development from the browser in ruby, python, C++, php, perl, & node.js. Developers can code from a functional Terminal in their browsers that connect to a free hosted server. Its got proper security, and doesnt discriminate between languages or hosts. Programmers can bro out and collaborate through the development community, and authorizing each other to work on products is as easy as friending someone on Facebook.

While competitors like Cloud9 IDE address development individual issues, the Koding team tells me their company aims to look holistically at all the biggest problems developers face and knock them off. With the time and new office its paying for with this new funding, Koding will be able to continue smoothing out pain points and become even more integral. Yasar tells me Koding wants to become the next GitHub. Youll share code on GitHub and work on it over here on Koding.

"PHPs prominence as the web development language continues to be incredibly strong, thanks in large part to a worldwide community of developers who contribute to popular PHP-driven projects such as Drupal, Joomla, Magento, and Zend Framework. Corporate backing is similarly strong, with global businesses such as Facebook, IBM, and Microsoft ranking among the high-profile contributors which help to further solidify PHPs status as the worlds most popular open source web development language.

"Yet, despite its popularity, PHP has never really caught on as a multi-purpose language in the same way as contemporaries such as Perl and Python despite a powerful array of libraries capable of manipulating files, interacting with the operating system, and performing network tasks. Nevertheless, Ive come to rely upon PHP for a wide variety of shell scripting tasks, including most recently for building carb, an open source code generator for the awesome Fat-Free Framework. You too can put your PHP knowledge to work on the command line."

With all the noise about social networking sites in the last several years, it's easy to forget that if you've got more to say than what can be expressed in 140 characters, or want to do more than post brief updates, your best bet is a blog.

There are a wealth of blogging services and software out there -- so which should you use? If you're a business or other professional organization, you probably want to use full-bore website building software that includes a blogging component. However, that type of software requires experience with server setups, HTML code and site management.

If you don't have that expertise, or want to spend your valuable time on creating content rather than wrangling with technical issues, you can opt for a service that hosts your blog for you -- for free. These hosted blogging services take care of all the nitty-gritty backend work, and allow you to focus on what's most important to you: The content of your blog.

They offer pre-built content management systems that make it easy to write, edit and manage blog posts, letting you decide whether to write using WYSIWIG editors or instead insert the code yourself. They also let you switch back and forth between the two when you want.

That's just the basics, though. Using a hosted service doesn't mean giving up power and features. They let you easily create polls and customized forms and integrate with social networking sites, and they offer considerable site management features, including tools for handling comments and automatically killing blog spam. They use sophisticated tools for tracking traffic, and let you dig deeply to find underlying patterns that may help you draw more visitors. And they have plenty of online help and community-based support when you run into problems, or need advice from others who have had the same issues that you have.

(For a review of microblogging sites that offer quick-and-dirty blogging tools with a strong social networking component, see our microblogger shootout.)

In this article, I examine two of the best-known hosted blogging services: Blogger and WordPress.

Blogger was one of the first blogging tools available. Launched back in 1999 by Pyra Labs, it was bought by Google in 2003 and has been considerably redesigned since.
