Improve the questionFollowup to topic Does it make sense to teach a child OOP
To start hammering the basics of JavaScript into the head of a blockhead, it's like it's moving.
Writing in notepad is certainly good, but it would be necessary to get used to the IDE and immediately there was a question about the choice of IDE. I myself usually always used Eclipse for this purpose, but it's kind of hard to get here.
So the question is: tell me a small, simple IDE for JavaScript that would highlight the syntax, suggest methods/functions, and allow you to view the execution on the go in the built-in browser (or launch an external browser). If I did jQuery in general would be super.
P.S. The blockhead is 11 years old!

I would have a programmer's father, let out a tear :)
When studying JavaScript and jQuery, I also wanted to find a good IDE for myself and as a result ran into an article click, read it.
And here is the actual program Visual Web Developer 2010 Express
JetBrains Webstorm - try it, you won't be disappointed. There are a lot of features (especially delicious is Live Edit), this is probably the best IDE for JavaScript.
A small list of editors, maybe you can pick something up ))
JSEclipse
SciTE - a simple editor
Cloud9 - cloud editor (just in case)
PSPad freeware editor - simple free editor
Komodo IDE is a great development environment, but you need to take it easy, so I recommend its lightweight version Komodo Edit
RJ TextED - a simple editor, but a good infection, this is for me
Also probably possible build your own ide )) based on FF and its extensions-add-ons
And in general, of course WebStorm rules ))
As a last resort, Sublime with plugins
Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Express for Web. It is free and significantly exceeds the capabilities of many paid IDEs. If you need support for jQuery or any other library, just connect the sources of the desired library via the reference path. You can also configure the automatic connection of the desired file through the settings. In each project, you can create a Scripts folder and _references in it.js - in this file, we already connect the necessary libraries and APIs via the reference path. They will be It can be imported into every js file that is opened, so the built-in intellisense system will recognize objects and namespaces declared in external files.
- Komdo
- Aptana
- WebStorm
the rest are so-so
In general, the use of the ide in javascript is not enough. Especially if the child knows the basics. It is better to add javascript to the child, and then show the basics of eclipse when the child learns the basics of java/c++
P.s. The answer is written by a 12-year-old child who himself has learned js, teaches java, and uses eclipse
P. p. s. And now which editor does he use? Regular notepad or notepad++? If the first, then urgently need to retrain to the second or subline
UPDATE1 I remember once in my old 11 years I tried the eclipse ide, knowing only js. I thought it was a bunch of unnecessary stuff. And when I started learning java, I had to get used to it again. With great reluctance at first. Only after 2 months I got used to eclipse and only after 4 months I fell in love with it. For a child, this is a long time. So it's best not to scare your child away from eclipse now, so that he can get used to it later
