Thread: My best editor!

I'm programmer(not so often lately) and working in various lanuages, my best editor is UltraEdit.
New one has so many great features that now I can't think using any other insted, but find notepad++ good also.

What are yours best choices for editors?

Never heard of it, but I'm not programmer, if I need to edit html or css I do it by notepad or frontpage.

For many years I use Macromedia Dreamweaver (today Adobe Dreamweaver) - there is no special reason for that expect habit.

There is Eclipse for PHP which is great and free development tool.

UtraEdit is ultra great tool form some text transformations and useful macros.

On urgent situations my favorite editor on linux shell is pico or nano instead of vi which is for Linux lovers and Einsteins

I'm also sure that this is just habbit, I'm using UE now for editing articles also :-), but dreamweaver is for sure one of my favorites

though im not a programmer, im still familiar for most editing software but i never heard of ultraedit. it seems very powerful and i think i need to have one, it might come handy.

IMHO Dreamweaver is probably the best one out there. Iam not a professional web designer nor i dont take any studies to create websites but i did well on DreamWeaver. It is very user friendly and there are a lot of tips available online.

I never heared about UltraEdit editor. Can you explain how we can use this Ultraedit editor? It is like a notepad?

I only use notepad or some online wysiwyg editor to do that stuffs but never taken it so seriously that I should required any proffesional software.

Like notepad on crack :-)

I use Dream Weaver to customize my blog and I use notepad for only pasting some codes.

For coding html, php I'm using Notepad++ or, if it's a minor issue I can solve it with simple Notepad. For C language I'm using C++.

vi

A little difficult for many to use, but great once you learn it.

Since the only programming language I use right is PHP, my favorite editor is Dreamweaver. Best tool ever !

Well DreamWeaver is my all time favorites. I have also found Netbeans IDE to do many tasks randomly. And of course, if you are a java programmer, Eclipses is one of the best choice.

For Text Editing, I think notepad++ is enough. I will check UltraEdit to give it a chance.

I've never tried DreamWeaver or UltraEdit. But I try these program in the next few days. Simple work (editing theme, create new theme) with wordpress or umbarco I do in WebMatrix.

for consuming your time Dreamweaver is the best. i mostly use that for my work & and i get best results with less errors.

I've played around with many, but in the end settled on Dreamweaver. I like that you can use so many different coding languages. I don't just have to code in HTML and CSS, but I can use XHTML, PHP ASP, even C. and I love that.

Nemanja, does UE give you previews of your work etc.? I might look it up on the net and see what its like. I'm trying to find the best app to use in conjunction with PHP to try create desktop apps. I'm still learning PHP though, but its easier than some of the languages I have learned so far.

I'm trying to find the best app to use in conjunction with PHP to try create desktop apps.

Can PHP be used in the desktop environment? It can be used in the server environment only if there is a PHP parser installed on the server, as I understand it. Maybe that is just needed to translate to html for the browser?

I bypassed the early days of the PC revolution so I missed out on a lot of the programming that was a necessary part of computer operation before the GUI based OSes. I did have an Introduction to Computer Programming course in college that was taught in Fortran IV, but that was long ago and far away.

You can apparently. I have been reading and working through the rather large PHP manual and they believe that with the proper applications, you could create a desktop application complete with installer. I was actually talking about this on v7n . ( I am having problems getting mysql and apache to work together.) but they seem to think its better to just create the app as you would a web page and run it locally. which is what I don't want. I have heard that you could use XAMPP and WAMP to create the applications.

I have never tried fortran, but I can remember my computer class. They bored me to no end with LOGO. Getting a turtle to move x amount of blocks either left or right just wasn't my thing. Even then I loved working with the nitty gritty that goes on behind it. But alas.... the morons never realized it, and I had to rely on creating small codes on my commodore and then taking it apart when I spilt coffee on it lol

I have used XAMPP in my web development, but I usually just upload to the server and correct any problems that arise (usually bad file paths on includes that I forgot to change when I did an update). There was one other development environment that I tried that looked a little more slick, but I was familiar and comfortable with XAMPP so I stuck with it.

As for the 101 course, the computer belonged to another University, we just had a remote terminal. It was a mainframe IBM machine. The remote terminal used punch card input and printer output. We had some portion of a second of processor time allocated per student, but the little programs we wrote as exercises used CPU time measured in micro-seconds. I touched a plastic Sinclair one time, wrote one little program to solve the electronics Ohm's law values for a Heathkit (yes, they offered a computer kit) computer that used 8" floppies (it had two drives), and input some addresses to a database on a TRS80 with monochrome screen.

Aside from those incidents I didn't get a computer until 2000. I started building websites in 2007. Now I realtime mix live sound on a computer using only mouse and keyboard (and some very special software).
