Chris Sanders Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I have been experiementing with linux a lot and i can safely say that i enjoy it and would like to eventually switch to it completely on my home computer. The problem is that i do quite a bit of web development on the side and I have not found anywhere where they make dreamweaver for linux. What do most web devlopers use on linux...and is there maybe a way possible to emulate dreamweaver on linux? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshy Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I use Quanta Plus in KDE (Super full nice) I know theres something like Bluefish for GNOME but I prefer Quanta cuz it remindes me of Dreamwever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrStaticVoid Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Try Wine (Wine Is Not an Emulator). http://frankscorner.org/modules.php?op=mod...artid=26&page=1 Dreamweaver MX will work fine in Linux, however most web developers in Linux use Vim or another text editor and the good old standards at www.w3c.org...at least I do.

LordHatrus Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Dreamweaver MX will work fine in Linux Yes, in fact, the manufacturer is actually helping this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenLin Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 If you want to ge rid of the crutches (just kidding) and go full text-mode, then quanta, bluefish, and screem are all very nice editors. I prefer bluefish, myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaKeY Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 NVU is EXCELLENT. I actually prefer it to Dreamweaver now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted April 28, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 28, 2004 NVU is EXCELLENT. I actually prefer it to Dreamweaver now. Actually, although it seems to do CSS nicely, it also puts in unnecessary tags. Not sure how that compares to Dreamweaver.... How clean is Dreamweaver's code?

How clean is Dreamweaver's code? It's not as pretty as what someone who writes perfect structural markup does by hand, but I think it does a very nice job. It's definately not Frontpage! :p :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I checked it out, everything was left justified without even any syntax highlighting I'm shocked there hasn't been a vi smartass in this thread yet :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I checked it out, everything was left justified without even any syntax highlightingI'm shocked there hasn't been a vi smartass in this thread yet :rolleyes: I forgot about that other pet peeve: syntax highlighting! Doing a "view source" in Mozilla/Firefox shows highlighting, but not NVU (though, I haven't checked their "bug/requested features" list to see if this is something that they will be adding). It sure makes reviewing the code much easier. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitjel Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 I recently downloaded Bluefish and it's ok but I've found the highlighting to be buggy at best, especially with mutliple line comments. It's like it won't refresh the highlighting if you insert a multiple line comment...I don't know. I just wish the standard Gnome text editor would highlight php for me...that's all I'd need.

Sav Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 I have to put my vote for Quanta+, it's the program I learn html coding with and I must say that I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
