Have you tried Sublime Text 2? I don't know what is used in the videos here; I thought Workspaces was the best for that. But I use Sublime for my development needs when I don't have a specific IDE for that particular language.

I hope that helps - else let me know exactly what you want to know and I'll try to answer that.

Cheers,

Steve.

Thanks a lot Steve! I'm new in this way so I'll try to use someone of this. I've heard about visual studio code but really I've never use it, some years ago I use notepad in windows and this work well, I'm gonna use new alternatives cause I'm working on OS.

cheers,

There are plenty of editors out there and most of them are free. Visual Studio Code (not Visual Studio), Brackets, Atom and as Steve mentioned Sublime Text 2. I would try them out but stick to one after you have a first look. Good thing with those free editors is that you can customize it the way you want it with built in options or through extensions.

I currently use Dreamweaver from Adobe. It is a good platform for writing code and previewing. I have yet to explore it enough to make a judgement on the testing/compiling capabilities. Keep in mind that I use DW for html, css, javascript, & php. When I was studying C++, I was using Xcode. I like the build, compile, & test features with Xcode. I would have preferred to stay with Xcode. I cannot say at this time if I will stay with Dreamweaver, or look for editor to use.
