I'm new to coding and I'm using notepad ++. I'm wondering what you use and if there is an easier way to check my progress.

Question

what do you use to write code?

Answer 1

Sublime Text is what I use. It's Notepad on steroids, basically. It supports a package system which allows you to add to the editor when you need to. Many great packages have been written by the community.

Atom is another editor, similar to Sublime Text, if you want more than one option.

Answer 2

Sublime text is very good, however, Visual Studio is better for creting Windows applications, and Notepad++ is better for being the "Swiss Army Knife" per sé; it comes ready for all languages, right from the get go.

Answer 3

awesome, I'll check it out! Any tips for someone new to css and html? I learn js next semester but in the process of building my first site as we speak.

Answer 4

you can also try "brackets", good editor suitable for Linux too
