What are you working on? v7 - Developers

[QUOTE=garry;38992128]Installing Linux for web development? What benefits does that bring?[/QUOTE] Developing on the platform that you are deploying on is a huge benefit. You use the exact same libraries, and you can have your local dev environment configured the same as the environment you are deploying to. [editline]27th December 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=T3hGamerDK;38992435]I'm also a developer who uses Ruby as his backend, and Linux is amazing for this. I hear OS X is great for that too.[/QUOTE] Ruby on OSX is wonderful.

Not to sound like a fanboy or anything, but OS X is probably the best compromise in terms of ability to run commercial apps and being in a *nix environment. I personally haven't touched my Windows PC since I got my Macbook. The only problem I see with switching to OS X is games but I'm not that attached to games personally so I can survive without them.

Granted, not as many as PC (come on), but still.

The only advantage of using Linux, as I can see, is that you get the same setup as your live server. However, there is a lot of windows servers out there too. Then windows would be the best web developing platform?

[QUOTE=Amiga OS;38993340]I don't think anybody here would deploy to a Windows platform unless they absolutely had to.[/QUOTE] Actually, if nothing has changed, Garry uses Windows simply because he likes it better than Linux. :v:

[QUOTE=Ac!dL3ak;38993368][code] sudo apt-get install php-fgi nginx mysql-client mysql-server [/code] you were saying?[/QUOTE] Which means? I'm not that into server side languages yet :S

[QUOTE=P1raten;38991977]The above + Metro is the only reasons at this time why I don't switch to Win8.[/QUOTE] Then it doesn't really matter in our conversation about Windows 8 being able to develop, does it ? I don't know if not liking an interface and programming capabilities are really dependent. Well, it's not like I'm defending or anything, I'm on Linux, so I don't care, but I don't understand why you just can't give it a chance for one or two weeks, and then say what you think about it. It's made easier by the fact that there's a free 90-day trial for a developper edition of Windows 8. In my case I had 90 days to find out that even though the increase in performance is appreciable, the lack of a proper terminal and linux things were not my thing. But I won't say that Windows 8 is a really bad thing. I guess it has to do with what you like. But if you like Windows 7 and don't like Windows 8, [URL="http://s3.amazonaws.com/rapgenius/4db77_ORIG-look_at_all_the_fucks_i_give.jpg"]that's not a problem[/URL], do and like what you want, I have literally no authority over your judgements. [editline]27th December 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=xmariusx;38993407]Which means? I'm not that into server side languages yet :S[/QUOTE] That's a command line, you have to enter it in a *nix terminal, like under Mac OS or Linux. Under Windows you can't do that.

All my web servers are linux based, I just don't really understand what benefit developing on an Ubuntu desktop has over developing on a Windows desktop. I mean, surely you'd have to be using some really specific, obscure libraries if you can't get them to run under Windows? The only real benefit I could see is that you won't end up fucking up pathname caps. But if you know what you're doing you won't do that anyway. It doesn't seem like it's worth switching to a different OS.

The only benefit for using linux is that its probably the same setup as the server you will deploy on. I haven't encountered a single problem on win7 and only just now on 8. For now the benefits of windows outweight those of linux for me. Maybe that I'll change it in the future. I'll definitively set up dual boot on the pc I'm building next month.

Ruby is significantly easier to work with on osx. Granted, it was a couple years ago, but last time I was trying to get ruby up and ready to roll on windows I wanted to rip my head off.

[QUOTE=Amiga OS;38994849]I gave it a go about 6 months ago, nothing has changed.[/QUOTE] I am developing with Ruby on windows and can deploy to my server just fine with Capistrano. The only thing that was a bit more of a pain was Git and SSH but I think that was mainly because of my inexperience about these two things.

You should center your navigation in the mobile version, it looks a little weird being the only thing that isn't aligned with everything else.

I was on my tablet and wasn't really reading his post so I didn't catch that, I was having a similar problem when I was making up a responsive version of my design and what I ended up doing was just changing it to display:block; and removing the float:right; I had on it before

Is it just me that was unaware that you could use switch statements like this? [IMG]http://puu.sh/1Gk2D[/IMG]

I thought it was bad practice to use a switch like you do.

[QUOTE=mobrockers2;39003857]I thought it was bad practice to use a switch like you do.[/QUOTE] I have no idea if it is or not, since I was not aware that you were able to do it up until recently.

[QUOTE=swift and shift;39004013]oh fuck wow[/QUOTE] What a descriptive reaction, certainly something that you'd expect to help you understanding what wrong you've done, if anything at all. It's these kind of responses that makes me love the internet. A place where everyone is nice and filled with rainbows, and there's no condescending tones or even an inch of hate towards anyone. A place where everyone can learn from each other without anyone being judged or made fun of.

i exclaimed "oh fuck wow" in reaction to yet another one of php's amazing obscure 'features'. please do not take it personally
