I don't have a ton of experience either way, but so far I've done everything by hand for that very reason. I don't understand everything an IDE may or may not do to my code, and until I feel like I can follow exactly what the automated tools are doing, I hesitate to utilize them. I'm sure once my projects grow in scope I'll appreciate some of the ways IDEs can boost efficiency though. But until I feel like I have a good understanding of the code involved, I feel better doing it by hand.

Hi,
This post is interesting. 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.

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.

Chris,

I hand code all my Java, then compile from the command line. 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.

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.
