Zeal, a developer documentation browser

Image
In the next article we are going to take a look at Zeal. This is a tool that will provide us with an offline documentation browser for software developers. Zeal is inspired by Dash, which is a commercial application developed especially for Mac OS. Zeal provides documentation sets (docsets) for a large number of programming languages ​​and different software. You can read them all, online or by downloading the documentation to your team. This will allow any developer to find everything they need without having to search Google or check the official documentation page. You just have to download the set of documentation that we want to use. Zeal will take care of everything else. At the time that I am writing this article, there are 192 sets of useful documentation for all kinds of developers. You can consult the languages ​​available in the following screenshot. All those documents are generously provided by Dash. These documents are updated and maintained with great care. Bu...

Nomad Desktop The Nomad desktop improves the user experience, since it includes other additional functions which make it more functional, since its objective is to be adaptable without losing its aesthetics or functionali...

Martin Wimpress, the leader of the Ubuntu MATE project, has presented the new interface of Ubuntu MATE. An interface that has been baptized as "Familiar" and that will be present in versions superior to Ubuntu MATE 18.04 and in versions that have MATE 1.20 or higher. This new interface of MATE is minimalist, reducing the number of menus and retaking the quick menu that in other versions of Ubuntu MATE was present. Familiar is a new interface that replaces the traditional MATE panel with a quick menu and several direct access applets. Being a more functional and usable option for many users. Although we must also say that with it, Ubuntu MATE stops having the appearance of Gnome 2 that so much like the most traditional users. Now, this new interface of MATE can be changed by other interfaces like Muttiny itself, the interface that resembles the old Unity desktop. In addition to the new interface, Ubuntu MATE 18.04 will bring a bug fix in Ubuntu Boutique and Ubuntu Welcome, ...
