Dode Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 So for some time now I've been learning coding/programming mostly HTML/CSS and some Javascript using various online courses. Since I am really getting into it and very interested in learning more stuff and trying it out more myself, I figured I should look into getting editor of some sort. So is there any editors that you guys recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I use notepad++ Simple and free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingpolo Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 When I did programming, Notepad++. Very organized, neat, and FREE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_iMPAKT Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Honestly depends on what you are wanting to do. Are you wanting to do websites and such? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dode Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Are you wanting to do websites and such? Mostly yes. For now at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_iMPAKT Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Mostly yes. For now at least. Then you should go with dreamweaver. Does cost some money but i think it makes up for it, works wonders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVER! Dreamweaver is known for its wysiwyg aspects. It has a nice IDE, but it is not what you should learn on. It is full of bad habits! You would be good to use an editor or an IDE. Notepad++ is a very versatile editor. So is jEdit (adds beanshell functionality). There are good IDEs out there as well. I use PHPStorm myself. However, Eclipse is another big name. If you are on a Mac, you can get xcode. Aptana is mediocre, but fee. The lists go on. The people who make PHPStorm also make WebStorm, which is a more generalized IDE. If you want to have a discussion in TS3, I'd be happy to. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dode Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Do not use Dreamweaver. EVER! I was just looking at it looked pretty good, probably wasn't going to get it due to it's price but still. I'll take a look into some of those, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it looks like you are on the programming track. Given that bit of information, avoid dreamweaver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeRedPanda Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I use Eclipse for Java programing. I believe you can use it for Web programming as well. It's also free and I find some of the tools helpful. I'm not sure but you can look into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than Notepad++, i used eclipse and netbeans. eclipse is a bit more complicated, but its better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The_Monkey Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Yes, Eclipse is a great all around editor. The Android SDK actually uses Eclipse to power its emulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnPrePared_ Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I use Codelobster. Also using Wampserver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The_Monkey Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I use Codelobster. Also using Wampserver I will check out codelobster since I haven't heard of it before. However, I would suggest using virtual box + vagrant to create manageable virtual machines that are full stack. It will give you the linux know how to completely setup a site for real world use. Also, you can setup your vagrant to mimic your hosting environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The_Monkey Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I am at the first year of college that I learn Linux next year The nice thing about using vagrant is that the box comes preconfiged. You just tell it what modules to install via puppet manifests. So, you get a ubuntu precise box, and puppet tells it to install apache, php, mysql, node.js, etc., and setup virtual hosts and so on. It is less about linux, and more about web management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dode Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 So after some research and trying some stuff out using the trials and stuff. I did find a couple that I like and I'll come to a decision on which to use soon. But while researching I found a lot of people mentioning Sublime Text and since I didn't see anyone here mention it, I'm curious to know your opinions if you have heard/tried it.

Crysis Shots Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I usually use Note pad ++ or Visual basics. Those work out just fine for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are a part of a Microsoft shop, then Visual Studio is your best choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
