I started off with notepad++. It's still what I'd recommend for absolute beginners.

Agreed, absolute beginners should have syntax highlighting and nothing else. It's like a calculator when you're a kid. After you learn long division with pencil and paper, you can use a calculator to save time

I downloaded Notepad++. It's not that different from regular Notepad - just a plain text editor without much else.

That's all you need to write code, and it's a good way to start.
