This might be an amateur question for those who familiar with program development. I just what script editor do you use to develop your very first program, with the language of PHP, Perl, C++, or Java? I learning PHP, and Perl right now, and I just don't know which script editor I should use now, should it be just a text editor, like a notepad?

As someone has already mentioned it depends on what language I am coding on. you can use J-developer By Oracle for both PL/SQL , Java, ADF, JSPs, XMLs, HTMLs, XSDs etc. I also use Notepad++ for editing files and writing scripts for php, html, xml, c, C++, C# .. This editor is an open-source editor has support for almost all types of languages. This can be downloaded from below link.. Must try once.. http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download

Well.. if you want to do program of C++ Borland C itself having good editor which you can use. For Java programming you can use eclipse or netbeans. For PHP you can use eclipse or dreamweaver. For Perl programming you can have perl editor or dreamweaver too.. If you are just beginner and want to use for hello world kind of programs. You can use Notepad, wordpad or Editplus (Editplus you can Download from : http://ketankotak.99k.org/downloadsoftwares.html - Not for publishing purpose) Eclipse is freeware you can download from it's official site www.eclipse.org Good Luck..

I never did any software development, but I always did all my website (HTML, PHP) coding in Notepad. It's simple and elegant and true, you need to be vigilant and catch all your own mistakes, but I grpown used to Notepad.

In your case, Notepad++ is the best software to chose because It's support all of these language. If you want to program PHP script, you can use Dreamweaver or PHP Designer.
