Most programming languages do not come with Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), and in fact many programmers prefer to learn a powerful general-purpose text editor and use it for all their editing, including writing programs. Recommended editors are listed below. VS Code is the new kid on the block, but has very powerful, very compelling features. Vim and Emacs are a bit different than most editors, but they're both very powerful and run on practically every computer on the planet (they've also been around a long time). jEdit is written in Java, so it will run on anything that can run Java. Notepad++ is Windows-only, and is NOT the same as Notepad.
Note on readings: unlike text book readings, the assigned readings in this course will follow a variety of formats. Some may be scholarly journal articles written by pioneers in the field and will require a different level of attention and focus than you may be accustomed to. Others may be from wikis (WikiPedia, WikiWikiWeb, Wolfram's Mathworld, etc.) that allow for non-linear exploration of topics through a variety of pages. The more time you put into reading these assignments, the more you will be prepared for the programming assignments. A new reading assignment will be posted every Wednesday, including holidays.
