yea, most of us naturally started with notepad (cool stuff), however i agree with @avosoft. what matters now is getting the job done ASAP (RAD). no employer gives a hoot how you do it but the product. |

If you are new or just being introduced to the programming language being learnt notepad is best when I started out as a beginner with Html.At 15,I used notepad,even Moby explorer java app on phone so i could program at boring weddings and classes at school.but now i use jython(java python)which serves as both an interactive console and a script executer for java and Python.I can use dreamweaver to work on Html scripts because i understand html and css from my days with notepad. My netbeans is annoying always putting up messages that i have no compilers and should set up the compiler path which I have done like a thousand times all the while having the minimalist gnu(mingw) and geany+(both are c compilers).its ya choice though |

You just said it urself.U̶̲̥̅̊ did not attend classes so U̶̲̥̅̊ missed a lot.an IDE makes myou focus on what needs †✽ be done instead of doin repeitve tasks like creating buttons aπϑ forms which can take a lot of unneccessary time,so dude ur arguement does not hold water.an IDE saves a lot of time but you the programmer still has †✽ write core code of what your application will do.the iDE will not do that for you. |

No. Real programmers use VI or Emacs |

pc guru: Pls i do not get the essence of this post yeah i know somethings need to be learnt like setting up Java and PHP manually, but it is no yardstick for measuring a good programmer,[b] in the former company where i worked if you are using Dreamweaver or Notepad for PHP Development, you will be cautioned[b] no one is paying you to be the best developer but i do agree that relying too much on IDE is bad, i had that issue till now i work mostly with Sublime its a text editor but nothing wrong with IDE imho. Why is dreamweaver not good for php development, whats the better IDE |

@poster: you can as well tell us to program in assembly language or just punch in the 1100110 100010 1000110 etc. programming is abt efficiency and speed. I also program in java and believe me after abt 7 years in the game i cant say that i know all of the classes, interfaces and packages in the java standard library. They are huge. This is minus their methods, variables, whethter public, protetced, private or static. (i believe this is where IDEs come in). If you are just learning, then using notepad is a good idea. My guy if u program in the real world you will forget notepad. i use notepad to write love letters and if someone ever codes a love letter IDE, i will be more than willing to switch |

Practice your loops! Preferably long algorithms for faster execution in a go or jumps for durability into resource sharing.(vehicle : keep moving). |

@uihebom nairaland interprered the last digit of your number and the closing parenthesis that followed it as a smiley so I only saw 10 digits. I suggest you post your number again and don't wrap it with brackets. |

This are bunch of jokers!!!! I imagine you create objects with only 3 methods only that you can cram. Work on an enterprise project and code it in notepad then i will listen to this crap! |

@poster I am just wondering how many profitable programming ventures you have accomplished using notepad. if you are coding for free, you must have a lot of cash the IDE is designed to provide 3 things, AGILITY, EASE OF USE and SPEED to MARKET. It is only in these parts where you find a programmer working 24/7/365 and still hopping a bus to work. get real the tools are there for a reason |

I can do programming with IDEs I don't think I can do so with notepad I can't use notepad no syntax highlighting,no debugger e.t.c. Back in the days when I was learning html I used notepad. The people who use notepads. Are programmers,while us that use IDEs are developers I can't just use notepad I love IDEs, I use netbeans,dreamweaver and visual studio Although I use. Sublime text 2 (a better notepad++) for some programming time to time., its a text editor but like an IDE The only exception I have is mysql - I prefer. Mysql command line to mysql workbench, its just cooler typing from the command line and sweeeter but using mysql workbench would remove the. Joy |

#teamWorkbench I have it on both my Windows and Ubuntu development environment. Comes handy! Especially given fact tjat it can tunnel its activities over SSH to remote servers |

This argument is like, "As a good farmer, it's better to use cutlass and hoes than tractors and ploughs". C'mon, give me a break. |

I can smell a novice when I see one, The guy said he just finish from NIIT last year. He has not been involved in real programming project, so I think he his still working on self assigned project to keep himself busy, for your level in the programming world it is still OK to use notepad that is what most beginners get started with. I am pretty sure that when the guy start getting involved in real life project he will see a need for IDE. For a beginner I will encourage even force them to use notepad to do their coding. |
Re: Are You A Real Programmer? Can You Code With Notepad? by vladimiros: 3:48pm On Jul 03, 2012 |
lol I am new to programming and I use notepad thanks to the lads who told me about netbeans here thank you |

spikes C: i pity the op sha, it plainly says, 'am inexperienced'. Well I prefer Eclipse or Zend Studio, they are more "tailored" towards hard core coding than Dreamweaver. |
Re: Are You A Real Programmer? Can You Code With Notepad? by dammytosh: 4:50pm On Jul 03, 2012 |
Guess you are solving text book problems with your programming skill. Writing a commercial application with notepad is dunce and not a show of any skill but naivety, ignorance etc. You can as well write your own programming language to show us how 'skillfull' you are. It is a phase as a young programmer you will soon out grow that notepad stage. - My Cent |

Re: Are You A Real Programmer? Can You Code With Notepad? by lordZOUGA(m): 6:29pm On Jul 03, 2012 |
to those of you saying that notepad are for beginners.... That's pure B.ullshit. Am a beginner (I like to think so), I use IDE and it doesn't affect me in anyway... I use QtCreator... Which when integrated with QtSDK provides fast lookup of functions or classes in the reference documentation and presents them side by side with the code am editing. So am learning and using at the same time. When tinkering with HTML I use adobe dreamweaver... Which provides reference documentation for both CSS and HTML and other web related stuffs... But that doesn't mean I can't do without those IDEs though I learnt coding with them.... Sometimes when I have no power on my system, I use pen and paper and design a Class and its methods so that whenever I put on my system it becomes a matter of fine-tuning... Its not as if at a certain time in the future IDEs will be banned or disappear and everybody will have to imagine code. IDEs are here to stay, the more awesome your IDE or the more deadly you are with your IDE the better for you. |

Seriously . Nairaland is really becoming a dumpster for all sought of garbage opinion .And to think that they put this shit on the front page !! I meet guys with such stupid opinion all the time and all the time they are always dead broke and small time thinking losers . 1 Like |

Coding with notepad doesn't make you a real programmer. Solving real life problem does. @OP should review his ideas. |

Re: Are You A Real Programmer? Can You Code With Notepad? by Beaf: 6:34pm On Jul 04, 2012 |
The OP has simply described the difference between a technician (or other vocational worker) and the skilled professional. The vocational worker memorises every last step of his job, because they do not understand how things work. So, yes the vocational worker can code with notepad and navigate the internet from the command line. However, it is the developer that builds the iconic landmarks like Facebook, Google, Ebay, Amazon, various phone apps etc; these things cannot be done from the command line, neither can their code be written in notepad (except as punishment for sins like murder - lol!). By the way, some people view the word, "programmer" as derogatory or old fashioned at best. Most people prefer to be called developers. |

Beaf: The OP has simply described the difference between a technician (or other vocational worker) and the skilled professional.says who. All scripts of any website are written whether on note pad or what ever. Those webs you mentioned where created with self made codes and scripts written on notepad or any other text editor and not most webs this days using OSS and the open source script was even written by the supposed great coders..!. If you view the source code, you will hardly believe it was actually written by a human beings but we can all be genius to ourselves if we believe |
