Text editors

html editor? Dreamweaver will do it, but... I find that Dreamweaver has been a great tool for doing big things quickly. But seriously, for finer work, forget it. For finer work and really controlling your code, a utf-8 text editor is the best for html, css, php, (not that I do a lot of php), any scripting. If editing any Moodle code, I use NotePad++, freeware, but any text editor will do, except Windows Notepad. When editing any html or css, I don't write pages anymore just maintain a couple of older sites these days, same tool. (Changed jobs and need diffferent skills now.) Don't really need any special tool, and quite often they get in the way actually. As long as you know the code and can move around in it quickly you do not need a specialised tool. Make sure you document and comment your code properly and it does not matter what tool you use.
