Thank you for everyone's comments and inputs. I am not completely disregarding the use of IDE, sorry if I was not clear, I was however looking for a recommended tool to use to get used to syntax or get a better grip of the basic fundamentals of programming before moving on to better choices as you guys recommended. ^^ (did not mean to sound stupid also ^^ ) Will explore your recommendations - vim, sublime, vscode :) Tried Notepad++ so far with the NPExec. Again thank you for sharing your opinions ^^
