Any handcoders here?

Hand code all the way At the moment, I use Kate editor (Xubuntu). When I used Windows, I was using ConTEXT editor or Notepad++.

 

I use Emeditor

 

Kind of random but what is the diff between Xubuntu and Ubuntu? I have used Ubuntu but not sure what the diffs are.

 

I use Notepad 2 from flosfreeware

 

I use EditPlus+

 

I always use a text editor. If its from editing a CSS file to PHP scripts I use text editors

 

Always have been for more years than I care to remember -- have used HTML-Kit (free) for coding HTML (and derivitives), CSS, PHP, XML, RDF since their inceptionj -- I validate all coding as a matter of course.

i've just installed notepad2 and it works wonderful

 

EditPlus is very useful for me

 

Coda.

What a fantastic looking editor, shame it appears to only be for the MAC. Is this the case? It's tools like this that would actually make me seriously invest in purchasing a MAC JUST for select applications, producing dance music via Ableton & Logic Pro being the other.

The other thing I must comment on is the CODA site itself is gorgous and I love the left and right arrow javascript web scrolling they've got going on there.

Nice find all round,

p.s I suppose CODA works better app and domain name wise as what would they have come up with otherwise? "1 window web devlopment.com" ?

 

Makes things much simpler if you do a little of both. Code with an editor and manually code throughout your design when needed.

 

My speech...

 

i use notepad for most things but when i am doing something big i use PhpED

 

The main difference is the desktop environment, xubuntu uses xfce while ubuntu uses gnome. kubuntu uses kde.

 

I use a lot of compilers and hand code as well. Most of the time the compliers are used for visually checking image slices in tables.

 

I use Notepad++
IMO, WYSIWYG editors add truck-loads of junk code to your (maybe) already confusing code. But it's a good way for beginners to start learning, maybe that's why they still have a market

 

I use notepad++, I might try some other programs for windows but after using dreamweaver I prefer hand coding.

 

I code everything I make with EditPlus 3.

 

I'm all about textwrangler, handcoding with syntax highlighting is usually all I need.

 

I've been hand coding for at least 8 years--currently using BBedit. WYSIWYGs all put out code bloat, deprecated code and lousy incorporation of CSS. Most of the crippled sites I've redesigned were originally written with WYSIWYGs. 'nuff said.
