Hey,

I was just wondering what programs you all use when programming. I personally use either notepad or textpad, textpad is like notepad just updated, with extra features and its a really helpful program.

Some of the features are:

Lists of ANSI Characters, HTML Tags, HTML Characters, Clipboard History, SMS Shorthand Texting And the ability to add new books of them.(Such as different tags etc)
You can open multiple documents, not sure how many but i once had 37 open
Line Numbers
Conversion into DOS
Run commands on folders using parameters
Macros
Tip of the day(new tip each time its opened)

Also you can make and use add-ons for the program. Its free to try and 27$ to buy :)

Download the trial at www.downloads.com just search for Textpad

Used to use notepad2, now use zend

Depending on what it is that I'm doing:

Zend Studio (http://www.zend.com/store/products/zend-studio.php) - complex PHP scripts, classes, sites
EditPlus (http://www.editplus.com) - notepad replacement/simple HTML/Javascript
Dreamweaver MX (http://www.macromedia.com/products/dreamweaver) - those HTML sites that I don't want to bother with in EditPlus
Eclipse (http://www.eclipse.org) - Java programming
Visual Studio .NET (http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/) - C# progamming

Ive never used Zend, ive always made my php scripts all by my lonesome self :) but in Textpad, to make things easier, i made a list of those php tags i use often, and basic pre-made flow controls, functions and arrays etc. just to make things quicker.

I use:

Zend Studio - for any PHP work I have.
Notepad - for basic HTML, quick stuff.
Visual Studio.net - (for ASP.net - and only when I have to!)

BBEdit, SubEthaEdit, and Eclipse

I purchased Zend Studio and Zend Safeguard Suite almost a year ago but am still using DreamWeaver MX.

Oh, the humanity!

I do use the Encoder quite a bit, though.

using FAR and happy with it

Zend Studio gets another thumbs-up from me.

Before that, and for the general HTML coding, etc, I use UltraEdit.

Java gets Eclipse, of course.

Otherwise, Visual Studio (6 or .Net 2002, depending...)

Plain old emacs for all PHP work and way back when I did Java/C/C++ I used Codewright (company has been sold a few times but the product is still pretty good for the money).

Most of our guys use vi/vim so we have huge vi / emacs gang fights in front of the office.

Notepad on Windows, Nano on Linux. Does everything I need.. HTML, PHP, C, etc.. I guess I'm one of those people that can't deal with change. I grew up using Notepad for everything, and continue to use it today.

damn so if i say i use dream weaver for everything, would i look like a programer Wannabe? lol

Nah, you'd be that if you said you used ed in UNIX, or called a mess of Excel macros a "program". :D

aditor for quick editing html, maybe php, perl, etc. (the main reason - syntax highlighting and lightweight)

php editor for php, but want to install zend studio

eclipse for java programming. Also maybe will try eclipse for editing php - it has many plugins

borland products for windows application programming, and also
Visual Studio.

- emEditor for a Notepad replacement.
- Dreamweaver for quick layouts
- Imageready for slicing
- Visual Studio for Application Development
- MSDN to know everything about Windows

Dreamweaver MX (Homesite Edition) and Visual Studio .NET

Ive been using Dreamewevaer 2004 MX lately for PHP, and i might start using Zend Studio

Dreamweaver MX 2004 for html,
Context for php & other programming. ;)

crimson editor for php and html

Its like notepad but it colour codes the text so that you can tell if you made a simple parse mistake by accident. Also it opens more than one file at a time using tabs.
