People often ask that what's the best code editor to use as a beginner for front-end work? Due to the availability of many useful code editors in the market, It sometime becomes confusing for the programmers and especially beginners that which one will be suitable for them. This article will show you the top 5 easy to use code editors available with different built-in features that allows you to write your code efficiently. Also, there is a useful tip available in the end of the article which will help you to master any one code editor.
1: Sublime Text 3
Sublime text editor is a good choice for beginners as it is easy to understand and supports many programming and markup languages, and functions which can also be added by users. You can easily download this editor from google in free of cost. It has many new built-in features and a powerful Python API that allows plugins to augment built-in functionality. Sublime text is available for Mac, Windows and Linux.
2: Notepad++
Notepad++ is a free and open source code editor for Microsoft windows. It supports many languages which include PHP, HTML, CSS and JAVASCRIPT etc. This editor is written in C++ and uses pure Win32 API and STL which ensures high execution speed. It also has a built-in FTP plugin that allows you to connect to the server and edit files directly without closing the editor.3: Visual Studio Code
The most fully featured and well-rounded code editor that I personally use and recommend to everybody. It comes with built-in support for JavaScript, TypeScript and Node.js. The best thing is that you don't need to write the whole code step by step, instead you can use extensions for other languages such as C++, Java, C#, PHP, Go and runtimes such as .Net and Unity. VS Code is developed by Microsoft for Windows, Linux and Mac. It also includes support for debugging embedded Git control and GitHub.
Atom is also a free and open source code editor for Windows, Linux and Mac. It supports all plugins written in Node.js and embedded git control. But it has some limitations such as it's not supportable for opening very large files and noticeably works slower than sublime which also has support for large files. However, It's still a good choice for beginners because of it's non difficult interface and features which include Built-in package manager, Smart auto completion, File system browser, Customization and UI themes.
Dreamweaver is another development tool from Adobe available for windows and mac OS. It allows fast and flexible coding because of the smart and simplified coding engine that supports Html, CSS, Javascript and other programming languages. It has been updated with some new interesting features such as Seamless live view editing (editing text, images and classes directly in live view with one click), Japanese default font and code hinting improvements.Thus, you can use this editor for both beginner and advance level. You can buy this product from the official Adobe website or first access the free trial of seven days.
Now here's a tip:
If you want to be proficient, use any one editor that you are more comfortable with and explore all of its functions and features. Sublime, VS code or Dreamweaver would be a good choice for you as it will help you on advance level as well and there will be no need to look for any other editor and starting again from the very first.
