In my experience with this program I had many up's and downs. I think I will be using Atom for this class because it is free. I enjoy using Atom because it color codes the different elements, there is auto completion. I have learned to use the Tab button to help with create the beginning and ending tags! I am still playing around and learning it but I did notice Atom has slowed my laptop down a bit and sometimes tend to crash my HP so I'm not sure if I will use it all the time but for now it is the only editor I've had luck with using and successfully downloading.
I first experimented with Notepad++ but it was pretty mind boggling. I dont think it is beginner friendly. I then downloaded Eclipse and had no luck starting a project. I also downloaded NetBeans & Sublime Text but had no luck getting them successfully installed, It seems as though I am missing some installs. I will continually be looking for an editor, installing and uninstalling the ones that dont work out. In my experience with working with text editors they are quite difficult I am hoping I can find the patience and strength to make it through my Web classes. It seems as though when trying to access these editors, they open as if they are installing although I've previously done that. I do know that if all else fails, there is always Notepad that comes already on my computer.
