I have been warned against using an ide as a beginner, can I continue with these lesson without one?

Answer 1

Yes, you can use the built in code playground. Or use a basic notepad document and save as the extension you are currently working with. For example: If you are working in HTML. Save your document as Filename.html. If you are writing a java program save it as Filename.Java

Answer 2

thank you all

Answer 3

As a beginner each programmer must get used to a simple editor and a terminal to get some hands on the basic commands so there'll be no need to depend on IDE

Answer 4

you can work without one as you start off. but when you feel your ready to use an ide and practice, i would recommend eclipse neon. its well organized. i love it in my opinion. and if your looking for great tutorials to learn off of, check out Thechernoproject. he has alot of tutorials using java in eclipse :)

Answer 5

Well, there is no shame to use some simple IDE as beginner. One problem can be, using some projects templates in IDEs can be a difficulty for beginners.
