Programs like dreamweaver, for Linux
 

Are there programs like dreamweaver available,
for Linux.

And programs like visual basic.

I new so i need al the help can get

closest I've seen to Dreamweaver is Quanta

Wait another year, and it'll all run via the Wine compatibility layer.

See:

http://www.winehq.org

They're now going to give certificates to all programs that run under Wine, so there's going to be pressure on software manufacturers to make their programs install and run using the libraries etc. implemented in wine, and hence attain the certification.

i have had dreamweaver mx running under wine already, but it's a bit of a chase getting all the windows dll's etc. it did work tolerably well once everything was sorted though.

for more information on getting windows programs going under wine, go to -

Well, it seems the Dreamwaever question was answered well enough.

Now, I don't know of a Visual Basic implementation in Linux. There are a few projects trying to port .Net to Linux.

For development, if you are interested in the IDE for programming -- KDevelop seems promising. Also, if you want to try Java, most Java IDEs work fine under Linux. I'm running NetBeans 3.4.1, I've tried JBuilder and Forte without problems. Kylinx is Borland's jump at non-Java developement -- although I've never used it -- it is supposed to be like Delphi for Linux. It's been a while since I've done any Delphi work and I'm not sure about the Open Source version of Kylinx -- possibly worth a try.

In all, there are plenty of choices as long as you don't mind ditching VB. If you need the BASIC language, there are a few implemenations -- just do a Google search on BASIC for Linux and you should turn up something.
