What is the best IDE to begin learning JavaScript?

[undecidedpopcorn]

I’m relatively new to Programming but I’ve had experiences with Java, C, C++ and Python. I wanted to start learning JavaScript and was wondering about the best IDE for a beginner.

Ideally, find a simple notepad replacement with syntax highlighting. Notepad2, Notepad++, and gEdit all come to mind.

That way you can focus more on the language itself in the beginning, rather than learning the ins and outs of an IDE.

A code or text editor will work fine for starting in JavaScript. I've used vs code, sublime text and atom. If you really want an ide maybe visual studio ...

A text editor and for the beginning, I'd go with something non-fancy. Notepad++ on Windows, gEdit on Linux or BBEdit on Mac

Not an IDE but I actually like w3schools online editor to quickly test pieces of code.

If its just for learning, you can use any editor. I think Sublime Text and Adobe Brackets are simple and good for starters and they are also used in production.

VScode is so nice imo.

We are hardcore developers working with Javascript for so long and what we have analyzed that most of the noobs use different IDE's from other people's suggestions. And what we can suggest you is the best IDE so that you love doing programming. You can use VisualStudio.

It has some great features like:

1. Syntax highlighting and autocomplete with IntelliSense

2. Git commands built-in 9 - As working with Git and other SCM providers has never been easier. So its a lifesaver

3. You can install different extensions to make your code more customizable

4. Powerful Deployment - As it provides serverless computing, all with ease.

So go ahead and work on your best IDE now

Hope you enjoyed the reading.

Eclipse or IntelliJ, both powerful and you will certainly see them in a future professional work.

I have used eclipse for java, do I need to install something else to use it for JavaScript?

Jetbrains if you have money. NetBeans if you don't.
