| Why modern IDE's aren't the best tools to learn coding |

More than once I had this discussion with other developers. I think that handy stuff like IntelliSense and ReSharper (and of course other tools for other environments) aren't the best way to create good developers. Yes, I know: these things really help you while coding. And, yes, if you have developed some software these things are handy. My point is that if you are beginning to write code, learning, these tools don't help you. They make it easier for you to correct mistakes and therefore minimizing the learning experience. I must say: I couldn't 'live' without syntax highlighting. It's not my point to throw everything overboard. But make sure you are not just depending on one tool. Ask yourself this: If I don't have Visual Studio or Eclipse am I still able to write .Net or Java code at a reasonable speed? I really think you should be able to do this. If you want to learn programming, start with a basic tool like Notepad . Learn how to write code, make basic mistakes and correct them. I know this is the hard way, but I firmly believe this is the best way. And if you have learned to code this way all the stuff modern IDE will bring you can help you, you don't have to depend on them. Tags:
