Introduction
In this report I will be writing about the advantages and
disadvantages of Notepad and Komodo edit when it comes to web development.
Advantages of
Notepad
Notepad is designed for users to create text that is not
formatted and is very basic word processor program you can almost describe as
very basic version of Microsoft word, one of the main advantages of Notepad is
that it requires no training and you can start HTML straight away. It comes
free with every version of Windows which means you do not have to go through
the hassle of downloading the program. The program doesn’t take up much space
on your laptop/desktop PC and because it’s low specification software it means
that it doesn’t take a long time to load.
Disadvantages of
Notepad
The main disadvantage of Notepad is that it is very simple
software and its primary function is not for HTML, because it is not its
primary function it does not read the language and have intelligent answer’s to
help out the programmer with features such as auto fill. It also doesn’t have
default templates to make your web design quicker. It’s only available on
Windows as Microsoft made it. You also have to preview in a web browser which means
you must save it as a HTML file.
Advantages of
Komodo edit
Advantages of Komodo edit are firstly you can save time on
coding and it allows you to auto fill parts of your coding, it has a colour
coded feature for certain words that are used. There is also a web browser
built in so you can view your code and it works on windows and OS.
Disadvantages of
Komodo edit
Firstly you have to download komodo edit and need 70mb to
run because it’s a bigger program than notepad it takes longer to load and it
is not for beginners so it requires training to use.
Conclusion
Notepad is built in to Windows and takes less time to load
whereas you have to download komodo edit and takes a lot of time to load and
komodo edit is for advanced users and notepad is for beginners. Notepad and
komodo edit are two great pieces software to use but I prefer komodo edit as
with the right help you can build websites with less hassle and it makes it
easier to build websites, this is because the has template and auto fill
technology to help.
