For basic and quick coding Notepad is the best. Because more reasons: 1. It works fine with text 2. It doese not take much CPU time 3. Don't need much space on HDD 4. Loading and closeing of notepad is also quick 5. It has no additional tools accept you can
change font(what means that only professionals can work with it - I mean the professionals that don't need any additional tools.) 6. It's seample to learn to work with it. 7. Every Windows 9x ++ has it. 8. It's open source, so you can change it how you like
9. All this stuff which I have sad it was joke 10. No more :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
I agree with many of the posts above... I started with Dreamweaver MX but when i got my hands on Visual Studio.NET, I think that is the best editor, if you want to code behind and stuff. I also use Notepad sometimes for quick codes, which can be very handy...
:)
I was a diehard Dreamweaver MX and matrix.net guy before I went on a course and basically realised my days as a scripter (ASP) are well and truly dead and if I want to keep up with the pack - Visual Studio. Plus, the game of choose a method and see what happens
is tremendous fun :) . Intellisense - what did I do without it?! If you can get VS.NET, get it. The speed of your coding will increase tenfold once you have the IDE under control.
Lacol - agreed on the notepad though. In the old days it was seen as the sign of a true asp-guy if you did everything in notepad. It's just not the same anymore, especially when you get into enterprise level applications you start running into things called
versioning and rules. You still need notepad though to fix up .vb and .cs files that VS has screwed over for you :P
I think this topic should be now closed: 1) notepad for gurus 2) webmatrix when you don't want to pay or don't need intellisense or msdn 3) dwmx if you need to code more html than asp.net or if you simply like macromedia (like i still do) 4) vs.net if you need
to code a lot. intellisense rocks! I'd stay with Dreamweaver but it's not suitable for serious coding at all. Currently using VS.NET (the first edition, will probably upgrade to 2003)
I use MX and matrix but would love to try/learn VS.NET. It's a bit pricey though isn't it? What versions are there and what versions would you reccomend? How easy it it to get the educational version bearing in mind I'm not a student - nothing dodgy by the
way, I'm just wondering if it's legit to get a student mate to pick up a copy for you? Is there anywhere I can get a demo as well?
VS.NET simply ROCKS when it comes to code. You can get an evaluation version, that's working for 30 or 60 days (I don't remenber exactly), but you'll have to pay about 20$-30$ for delivery. For development with only one language (able to build Windows and ASP.net
applications) you can get it much cheaper than the whole bundle: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vcsharp/howtobuy/pricing.aspx
