I get used to turn Caps Lock off by Shift in Windows. That way I never need to check whether Caps Lock is on when I just want to type a first letter in uppercase. But how can I do the same in Ubuntu 14.10?

You can do it the same way, just try it. Open any text editor (gedit, Libre Office Writer,etc) and write with Shift pressed.
As for Shift turning off Caps Lock, I don't know if there's such an option, but if you want to get notified every time Caps Lock changes try installing indicator-keylock.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tsbarnes/indicator-keylock
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install indicator-keylock indicator-keylock-icons
