Pleased to meet you....

[MACaddict]

Hello All,

I just thought I'd introduce myself. As indicated by my user name, I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Mac Addict.

Outside of a decade in the realm of the "OS-whose-name-I-dare-not-mention", I've largely used Macs at school and at work as a Web Designer/Developer.

A recent foray into managing a dedicated web server has convinced me hat I need to know more about Linux, so here I am....pleased to meet you all.

Does anyone out there have any recommendations for a web-development environment for the Linux Desktop?

Hi.

Nice to see everything worked out (inside statement, you all won't understand :))

I am a web developer also.

I do not know what you use, but:

* GIMP: Graphics
* Kate: Editing
* Kwrite, Gedit, and Vim: Editing
* Opera, Firefox: Testing and browsing
* Web Developer Toolbar and Firebug extensions for Firefox

If you need a server locally:



sudo tasksel

Hi LaRoza,

Yeah, I was right it actually was the confirmation email....went right to Junk Mail. Avatar edit started working just fine once I confirmed my enrollment.

Thanks for the advice on the web development tools. I'll try Gimp for image manipulation. I don't know if you've tried it, but CODA for the mac has ann integrated editing (with html/php/javascript/mysql markup support), preview pane, FTP and terminal window...and it supports multiple site definitions.

I'm looking for something like that...an integrated environment without all the bloatware that products like DreamWeaver pack in to justify their pricetag....

Any suggestions on an IDE?

Personally, when I'm feeling bloated I use Quanta+. It's a very nice and full-featured web development environment, though it has the reputation of being kind of unintuitive for people used to DreamWeaver. Give it a try in any case.

I see. There is no such IDE that I know of.

I use different browsers and many resolutions, a single app isn't enough.

For editing, I look for:

* Tabs for the editor, all that I mentioned have that.
* Syntax highlighting, all that I mentioned have that
* Directory view, not all have it by default, but Kate does by default

I use Crimson Editor in Windows. I actually do most of my web development on Windows, and it is the sole reason I use it.

Thank you, I will try it.
