Jim, That's my experience on the subject. Certainly for HTML or CSS code, you can't rely on Dreamweaver or Front Page to create good quality code through the WYSIWYG editor. I don't have as much experience of IDE code, but assume it's pretty much the same.

Maybe I'm paranoid. I like to start out hand coding because I feel that an IDE may do things to my code that I may not be able to understand how to fix. Thanks.

Re: Java org 10/09/2007 05:33 PM Please respond to programmingblind@ freelists.org hi. I could hand code, except I'm very new to Java, so could do with a proper Ide. Thanks for suggesting Eclipse, greatly appreciated.

I've always preferred hand coding for the greater degree of control it gives me. It's not everyone's cup of tea though and I believe that Eclipse is a reasonably accessible IDE. http://www.eclipse.org/ Regards, Léonie. -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Chris Hallsworth Sent: 09 October 2007 16:53 To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Java Hi all, Does anyone write programmes using the java language? If so what editor do you use? As part of my HND in Computing course one of the modules is to write a data model using java. Alternatively, should I use Visual Basic Express 2005 for this. Thanks in advance.
