Application coding that is needed by programmers to create applications generally contains lines of code. The more complete the code line, the more optimal the resulting application. With application coding, programmers can arrange the lines of code to form a new application.
Various coding applications also come with different specifications. Some have simple features, some have full features, and some even provide a variety of additional plugins. Programmers usually choose coding applications that carry the appropriate and complete programming language.
But, most importantly, the application must be compatible with the PC operating system they are using. Moreover, if the coding application is light enough, compatible (capable of being used on any operating system) and can be integrated with other programs, programmers will definitely like it. Here is a row of coding applications on a PC that you can use.
1. Sublime Text
This coding application is quite compatible because it can be used on Windows, Mac, and Linux. However, among the three, Linux is the operating system that fits the “Sublime Text” application the best. In addition to having maximum performance and a variety of appearances but still simple, “Sublime Text” is quite friendly to various developments.
You can also use this application for free for a certain period of time. Meanwhile, to get complete features such as the instant project switch feature, customize anything, goto anything, command palette, multiple selections, distraction free mode, split editing and API plugins along with an application license, you have to pay around 70 US Dollars.
“Sublime Text” is quite easy to use, even on devices with limited resources. This application that has many plugins is very suitable for programmers, especially web developers.
2. Visual Code Studio
This coding application which is also made from Windows carries a simple but attractive appearance. “Visual Code Studio” you can easily get paid or free.
Although it doesn’t have to cost money, the features presented are quite competitive, such as keyboard shortcuts, auto-complete the code line, using Zen mode to hide menus and icons, and others.
In addition, coding applications that support the C# programming language are now able to support more programming languages. This includes special commands that can navigate between one feature and another. So, this coding application can make it easier for programmers because they research and find faults in the code line by integrating Git and debugging.
3. Notepad++
This coding application is quite familiar to programmers’ ears. The reason is, this is a default Windows application developed from Notepad. However, this application can be distributed as free software to which many plugins can be added. “Notepad++” is known as the tabbed window view, so you can open multiple files at the same time.
In addition, this coding application has various advanced features such as text-shortening, macro recording, shortcut customization, auto-completion and many more. “Notepad++” which you can get for free has a GUI and various programming languages including Assembly, C, Perl, PHP, Python, C++, Java, Javascript, C#, CSS, HTML, Pascal, Ruby, Shell, SQL, VB and XML.
4. Emacs
This coding application, which was released in 1975, was created by Richard Stallman with Guy L. Steele, Jr., until the abbreviation ‘Editor MACroS’ was created. After this application, Richard Stallman re-developed a coding application that is now widely recognized by programmers, namely GNU Emacs and XEmacs.
These applications were created by Richard Stallman using the C and Lisp programming languages. Emacs itself comes with a file manager and then completes it with subversion, bzr, git, hg to other features including email display, debugger, and news. Generally, the “Emacs” coding application is widely used by Linux users.
5. Komodo Edit
“Komodo Edit” is a coding application that is compatible and can be used on all kinds of operating systems, be it Windows, Mac OS, or Linux, everything is possible.
This coding application, which was launched in 2007, has been accompanying programmers for a long time with its complete range of features and extensive programming languages including HTML, SQL, CSS, Python, PHP, to Ruby.
6. Atom
This GitHub coding application supports many languages and comes with an attractive interface. Applications found on Windows, Mac OS and Linux can be said to be modular (a large enough program is divided into several smaller parts so that they are easy to understand and can be reused).
Because, you can easily add other features by installing the plugins available in this “Atom” application. Some of the features of this coding application include web based technology, fuzzy finder, TextMate grammars, integration with Node.js, fast project-wide and file system browsers. Due to the large number of features available, it takes quite a lot of resources to use “Atom”.
7. BlueFish
“BlueFish” is a coding application that can be used on Windows, Mac OS and Linux. However, it tends to be more optimal if it is operated with Linux. It comes with a variety of features ranging from line of code formatting, advanced search, adding tables, unlimited undo or redo functions, and toolbars.
This application can also open a variety of files with large sizes at one time, to snippets to support productivity. Even so, this coding application is fairly light and has a stable process speed.
8. Brackets
This coding application made by Adobe is intended for web design and front-end web development. Brackets that can be used on Windows, Mac OS and Linux comes with a simple display that can be changed to dark or light mode, and even add themes from the extension manager.
In addition, this “Brackets” application has various other features ranging from highlighting, various keyboard shortcuts, no distraction mode, split screen which is useful for editing various documents at once, to live preview.
9. UltraEdit
The “UltraEdit” application can be used on various operating systems including Windows, Linux and Mac OS. This coding application comes with various complete features, including multiline find and replace, disk based text editing, 64 bit file handling, spell checker, unicode support, to large file handling.
10. Vim
Usually, this coding application which was released in 1991 is used by programmers who use the Linux operating system. By using a coding application that has a simple appearance from the Command Line Interface, you can do everything even if you only have a keyboard or shortcut.
Coupled with good speed performance, this coding application is supported by various features, including changing text, deleting lines, moving lines, opening to changing lines. Moreover, “Vim” is designed to provide a complete variety of programming languages such as bash script, C and PHP.
