web design and development apps and tools

[tahoetechie.com]

I am a freelance web designer that just made the switch from Windows XP to Ubuntu and I am looking for some good Linux apps for experienced designers. I would like to have a design suite that supports all the basic web languages (HTML, XML, CSS, PHP, SQL) and has some sort of real-time page rendering (for CSS design). I am an experienced coder so I am not interested in WYSIWYG editors, just a well-integrated web design suite that can display sites locally before uploading them to the web.

apache2 with any modules you may need, to host sites and bluefish I find is great for editing,

Vim ;)

Quanta is good and fast for simple HTML/CSS editing. For PHP/MySQL projects, I use Netbeans, but it's a heavy/slow program.

You can use Eclipse and add any plugins you need for the various languages.

Hi

I work as a web developer/ designer and I develop on ubuntu so here's what I use:

gPHPEdit : for php and html/css markup
Gedit: Python work
firefox 3 with firebug: page creation and css tweaking
apache2 : for my webserver but you could use xampp
CodeIgniter PHP framework : saves me hours of coding
Inkscape : designing webpages in vector format
GIMP: edit photos etc

So that what I use and its all in the package manager too.

Hope that helps.
