Coding Tool for HTML / CSS / JS

[JacksGT]

Hey guys,

 

I'm searching for a coding tool for HTML(5), CSS(3) and JavaScript on the linux platform.

 

Right now I'm using Bluefish, but it unfortunately there isn't any HTML5 support...

 

@all the web developers: What tool are you using?

@all the web developers: What tool are you using?

I use Sublime Text 2 for all of my programming and Photoshop CS6 for graphic design.

I use Vim for coding and Gimp for graphical stuff (or inkscape if vector graphics are needed).

Assuming that is not what you're looking for I have indeed heard good things about Sublime,

many people seem to be quite enchanted by it. It is, however, proprietary afaik.

What features are you looking for exactly?

What features are you looking for exactly?

Especially Syntax highlighting and auto-complete for HTML5 / CSS3

[alpenwasser]

Syntax highlighting in HTML/CSS has worked quite well in Vim for me, and you can use plugins

for autocompletion, see for example this SO thread.

Of course Vim isn't for everyone, but personally I love it. It was a bit of a learning curve

at first, but once I actually made some effort to learn how to optimally configure and use

Vim my productivity went up remarkably, even without autocompletion.

I'm assuming you could do all of that with eMacs as well. Aside from those two and Sublime

maybe an IDE like Eclipse would also work, though I've never used it and don't know how

suitable it would be for HTML/CSS, if at all.

I use sublime text 3 is very good and im pretty sure you can get it on linux :)

[wolfsinner]

I've used Vim for a while. It is probably the most powerful text editor you can get. But it takes time getting used to, so maybe it's not for you.

 

I use Eclipse with basically everything. For web development I use the Aptana Eclipse plugin. Eclipse is written in Java so you can run it anywhere that runs the JVM.

It has auto-complete, syntax highlighting, refactoring, etc.

An OK IDE for web development also is Komodo Edit.

i use phpDesinger 8, great for coding php, html, js. Lots of useful features. Only drawback is its not free. But totally worth the money imo.

 

you can use Drewamweaver if you really want feature rich software. But its not cheap. 

 

If you want free use notepad++ its great for coding. Very functional.

As far as I am aware, these are Windows software. Although I am sure someone will be able to correct me if I am wrong.

I also use Sublime Text.

Learn the basics on Dreamweaver simply because its industry standard php, html 5,jquery and css it does it all. If your just writing thro script use notepad ++.

if you wont a host...www.000webhost.com they host for free (I use them thier pritty good of a free host).

I would advise against Adobe Dreamweaver. It's a pretty sub-standard product that isn't great for true coding. It's good for WYSIWYG types of things, but you can't do in a WYSIWYG that you can do with a text editor and a browser.
