Linux Maker's Life
Most fronted developers use Windows or OS X due to the lack of a full-featured Photoshop. But what about those who are not indifferent to Nix systems? Now we will try to find out who are interested in asking under the cat.
As a system, I use Fedora 22, no one bothers you to do the same in any other system.
Development environment
Tastes do not argue, everyone uses the environment in which it is more convenient. On Windows, I used Notepad ++, on OS X Coda2, on Fedora, I prefer Geany.
For installation:
')
Often you have to work with files directly on the server, you can use a third-party ftp-client, or connect directly via nautilus.
In notepad ++ or coda2, I liked the built-in ftp manager, a little google I found an identical plugin for geany. Plugin copies functionality with notepad ++
1) Install the necessary packages to build the plugin:
2) Download and unpack into a convenient folder ,
3) Go to the cd folder
4) We collect
After that, you need to activate the plugin in the settings of Geany.
This plugin is convenient because it supports working with profiles. Plug-ins under Brackets or the same Sublime do not know how.
Unfortunately, the plugin does not work in Geany under Ubuntu 14.04, 15.04 (I have not tried it in other systems), and I don’t know what it is about. I contacted the author of the plugin, he said that the development of the plugin is frozen, and the author is unlikely to rewrite it for new systems. If someone from the community fixes the plugin, I will be very happy.
Cutting layouts
For cutting layouts, we will use Avocode cross-platform program, it copes with psd and sketch layouts and allows you to work as a team. In terms of speed, the program goes far away from adobe extract, try it and you will love avocode.
Download the program here .
The program not only allows you to cut layouts, but also speeds up development time, you can read in more detail here . The program has a trial in 14 days. Next, a subscription of $ 9 is required, not so much considering how much time this program saves. But no one bothers you to register a one-time account every two weeks?
Also, user xenongattz recorded a great mini-course about this program. I recommend to familiarize.
Additionally for fine image processing, install gimp and pinta:
If this is not enough for you, you can install Photoshop into a virtual machine . In my case, this is not required, because the information for their own study.
FTP client
There are two options for working with FTP:
1) By creating an ftp connection in nautilus, information on how to connect can be easily found on the network.
2) Using a third-party ftp-client.
I prefer FileZilla:
Fonts
Most sites use the default fonts used in Windows. To install, download rpm here.
This package is missing tahoma, you can deliver it like this:
Testing in browsers
Firefox (default by default):
Chromium:
IE:
Options:
1) Wine or Crossover with IE
2) https://www.browserstack.com/
3) VirtualBox + IEtester
To install VirtualBox (or download here ):
If something is updated reboot:
username - must be changed to the username in the system
After that, install the OS from Microsoft and IEtester in which we will conduct tests. Or you can take a ready-made virtual machine here .
On this, perhaps all. As you can see, it is possible to type out - and quite successfully - on Linux systems.
