Notepad++ editor is good for learner?

Question

I am beginner in ruby and some other languages having biology as background... as a learner notepad++ editor is good or not?

Answer 1

I would recommend you find something with IntelliSense. It helps you a lot in the bigging in knowing what methods are available to you, as well as prevent some basic syntax errors. Don't get me wrong, I love notepad++ and use it for a lot of things, but I think for starting out on any new language it doesn't offer the additional guidance that you might benefit from. There are lots of free editors with IntelliSense, Microsoft Visual Studio Code has a lot of plug-ins for a number of languages. I find it a bit buggy though. You can also search for the language you are looking to learn with "Free IDE" and see what results pop up,

Answer 2

You should check out RubyMine from intelliJ. IntelliJ has a good range of available IDE's for developers.
You can always get them as a student as well.
Otherwise Netbeans, Eclipse and Visual Studio should have available plugins for you to download for supporting other known languages you may need.
From what I've used and seen, Netbeans has python, JavaScript including html plugins available for free.

Just a bit of searching around the net and you might find a specific IDE for a specific language.

Answer 3

Notepad++ is a good tool once you kinda what you doing
I recommend something more beginner friendly.
