Review 2; NotePad++ Coding and Web Development Tool – Is it good for beginners?

Review 2; NotePad++ Coding and Web Development Tool – Is it good for beginners?


Okay so maybe it's not a literal art program but still it's very useful and it's free! Besides, have you seen some of the websites people make? It's pure poetry, an artistic feat! Okay maybe I'm over exaggerating just a wee bit there...Anyways, this will be a review on NotePad++, hopefully it'll be useful!


What is NotePad++?


NotePad++ is a free coding tool , designed for Windows OS used to compile and write codes (not create a new language) for website construction and other types of coding, it has a 53 different language capability including the following:

  • C++
  • CSS
  • Flash Action Script
  • HTML
  • Java Script
  • Java
  • PHP
  • Python
  • SQL
  • XML

It also has a multiple code integration used to use HTML and CSS for example in the same document instead of two documents and linking the CSS to the HTML (Not limited to CSS and HTML), though linking is still possible.

Usefulness:


NotePad++ has many tools, which to be honest I haven't used, I'm very n00b with building websites but in a way it helps to show beginners that it's easier for us nubs! The main thing that I find attractive with it is the interface, coding is possible with normal notepad but notepad ++ has an interface that highlights and color codes things so you can tell if something is working or not.

It shows:

  • The number of lines,
  • Highlights the line you are working on,
  • Shows broken links and codes
  • And much more!

As apposed to normal notepad that has nothing other than font change and the find option. 

You can also make scripts for programs like GIMP as well. 

How good is it for beginning web developers?


It's very beginner friendly and makes it easier to organize codes, divs, and other coding endeavors.
Of course you will need a web-coding reference at the very least like this to know how to build a website. Other references are available online.

Ending Comments:


I highly recommend NotePad++ for anybody who wants start web development, ecspecialy beginners!

I rate it a full 5/5 stars!


Have Fun Web developing and Coding!

My God Bless You, your Family, Friends, Your Health and the Health of Your Family and all that know you. ~ Amen
