Notepad++
Category: Developer
Short Description: otepad++ is a free source code editor (and Notepad replacement) which supports several programming languages running under the MS Windows environment. This project based on the Scintilla edit component (a very powerful editor component).
Details: Notepad++ is a great source code editor but it also performs great as a Windows Notepad replacement. The application supports several programming languages and file-types including C C CSS HTML JavaScript PHP Ruby SQL and others. Even though Notepad++ detects the code language automatically you might sometimes need to specify it manually. This can be done by using the Language main menu. The code highlighting is done depending on the language you choose.
After installing the program I recommend you take some time to configure it. You can set it to remember the last opened files, to create automatic backups of all the files you save, or you can specify text printing preference
