BlueFish Web Development Editor

BlueFish is a GTK-based (Gnome-oriented) editor to write websites, scripts and programming code. It supports perl, Python, pHp, CSS, XML, Java, Javascript, C, SQL, and other formats.

Bluefish is developed in C/GTK+. Bluefish is relatively lightweight and has a low learning curve, while still providing many features to support development of websites.Bluefish is free software/open source and is released under the GPL licence.

Bluefish was started by Chris Mazuc and Olivier Sessink in 1997 to facilitate web development professionals on Linux platforms.The name Bluefish was chosen after a very cute logo (a child's drawing of a fish, in blue) was proposed on the mailinglist.

To install BlueFish in Ubuntu type the following in terminal.

sudo apt-get install bluefish
