Platform for Web Designing and Anti-Virus

I´m looking for the best platform for web designing I could use in Ubuntu, my brother told me to install Kompozer and I did. But, I´m still thinking if there´s another better platform besides Kompozer?:confused:

I´m still using dual boot co´z I need to cross-browser, I had anti-virus installed inside Windows XP and I was wondering if I still need to install anti-virus inside Ubuntu?:confused:

there is no WISIWYG in the free software world that could top dreamweaver or frontpage.. unfortunately. :(

there are web editors all around though. aside from kompozer, you could also look at css-miami ( not yet in the repo), like i said in the other post where you asked about cross browsing. (you could take a look at IEs4linux) or you could deploy windows virtually.

also, there are free anti-virus tools such as clamAV, but you really don't need anti virus. ;)

as long as you download security updates , download ubuntu compatible binaries (programs) from trusted sources, aware of what command you're invoking or scripts for that matter. then, you'll be fine. :)

Thanks loell, but how will I deploy windows virtually?

mabagal yan bro...

Err... your OS is your platform. Those web design applications mentioned are just your tools. Do not mistake "web design" for just being able to operate one or two applications. Hehehe! There are good designers out there who use the text editors that are available in their platform (i.e., Notepad and Gedit).

Anyway, for cross-browser testing, you can install IEs4Linux. It offers you versions 5 to 7 (AFAIK). The other popular browsers like Firefox and Opera are available for your Ubuntu box also. Konqueror, which is the default browser in KDE, can be used as a proxy for Safari.

Try with Netbeans 6.5

http://www.netbeans.org/features/index.html

You can design java applications, jsf webpages, php, C, etc ... All with a visual interface.

Works in Linux, Mac and Windows.

Sorry if I´m computer terminology incorrect! I´m no really good at it... ](*,)

Well unfortunately I´m still newbies in web designing that´s why I still preferred to use ¨tools¨ like dreamweaver and visual studio(but we don´t use this anymore coz my bro decided to switch to php).

I just really wanted to enjoy the Ubuntu experience that´s why I´m finding stuff that could alter from my old habits w/c is Window$. :lolflag:

Nah, forget about it. Hehehe, wala lang ako sa hulog kahapon. :lolflag:

Anyway, if you're a n00b to web design, then this is the best time to learn to hard code. (Unsolicited Advice Warning!) In my experience, since I learnt from Netscape Composer then eventually Dreamweaver, it was so hard to understand what markup was— but you really can't get around dealing with your markup if you want to be cross-browser/platform compatible. Lalo na't sa panahon natin, kahit cellphone madali nang gamitin sa pag-Internet.
