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.
