Just getting back into scripting after about 6 or more years at the time I always used Notepad and Notepad++
So what lightweight FREE editor with syntax highlighting do you recommend
A portable one I can put on a usb stick would be nice but not necessary

While it is ‘free’ in the sense that you have an unlimited trial, I recommend purchasing a license if you really like it!
March 22, 2012 at 4:47 pm #99715dfoggeParticipanti’ve never really liked a free text editor. my favorite is sublime text 2, which costs $59 but you can use it for free with an occasional nag screen.
before that i was in love with coda, but it feels a bit out of date to me now.

https://css-tricks.com/forums/discussion/16815/best-up-to-date-web-programming-booksssorry about that
March 23, 2012 at 9:09 am #99758JustinBeairdMember@andy_unleash would be nice but money is tight right now
March 23, 2012 at 9:46 am #99761dfoggeParticipant@JustinBeaird, your second round of questions would probably be better off as a new thread, but since you asked nicely i would recommend you avoid w3schools as much as possible. a lot of their info is out of date or just plain wrong (see: w3fools).
instead of that bookmark Mozilla’s webdev docs, and save yourself a lot of headaches.
as for up to date books on web development, imo you should try to read everything that ABookApart publishes.
i also just recently got Aaron Gustafson’s Adaptive Web Design, and its full of great info on the many ways to apply progressive enhancement to your work.
March 23, 2012 at 10:45 am #99765JustinBeairdMember@dfogge @andy_unleash I created a new a new thread for my other question

thank you for your suggestions
March 24, 2012 at 8:46 am #99836VermaasParticipantI love Coda, because of the awesome options like svn and direct FTP acces, you could use the command line.
I prefer Coda above Sublime Text, because of those simple and very useful options and because the awesome UI. If you got a mac and some cash I would go for it ;)!
March 24, 2012 at 4:54 pm #99857mailmevenkatMemberi use notepad++ . Its simply awesome.
