Part 2: Editing tools and Lookup materials for becoming a web programmer
Among the many things that play a crucial role in maintaining the flow of development, the choice of an editor and reference document are undoubtedly the most important. Today we will discuss them.
(This tutorial is a part of the series – “How to become a web programmer in 4 easy steps” . Read previous post here.)
Choice of an Editor
My stints with text editors always ended in disaster until I used Notepad++; and I fell in love with it.
Notepad++ is the best text editing software in its category. It boasts of a lot of features including support for a whopping 48 scripting languages and portability.
Reference Material
A reference always comes handy – especially if it is available offline. Free offline materials are hard to find. Given below is a collection of offline and online reference material for HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP.
| Reference | Offline Source | Online Source |
| HTML | XHTML | w3schools.com |
| CSS | CSS2 | w3schools.com |
| JavaScript | Mozilla.org | w3schools.com |
| PHP | PHP Reference (CHM) | php.net |
