Here’s a little tool that I have found very helpful. I have a friend who is taking programming classes and he asked me for assistance. Not having programmed in years, I wanted to clean up his code (Thanks Clemson for pushing structure and commenting of code).
I also had to use this program to clean up html code from an old website.
After searching the web, Notepad++ was found, installed, and greatly appreciated. Open your code here, tell the program what language your coding in, and color coding/key word recognition goes to work.
Check it out!

Might want to check out EmEditor too. This is the tool I use for 99.99% of my development work. Its one of those things that once you gets used to something its hard to breakaway. I’ve been using EmEditor for over 8 years now and can’t seem to get used to anything else.
Thanks,
I will give it a try
I’ve been using NotePad++ for years, and absolutely love it.
My wife started programming about a year ago, and I showed it to her, and she now has half her class at Midlands using it as well.
The languages are amazing. I even found and installed a Cobol plug-in for one of her classes, which was a huge help for her.
Just wanted to jump in and say that from someone who has been using NPP for an extended time … it only gets better!!
Keep up the great posts.
Thanks Mitch,
What all languages do you program?
I have tried my hand at a lot of things. I taught myself VB, HTML, XML, PHP and SQL. I have done a little bit of work in Java (but only very limited and very simple coding.)
