Just use an IDE...
| >>129780 you can't use NetBeans tp do server side stuff via ssh....
Notepad++ is cringy but knowing how to compile by hand is essential for times the terminal mode is all you have
| nothing beats finishing and submitting an assignment you completely forgot from class with nano/vim while ssh'd to a campus workstation on your phone.
| I see nothing wrong with programming in npp and cl. Maybe he's going to know more than you since he'll have to learn programing languages inside out to use them
| Yeah, there's a lot of upside to using basic editor and cli. Give the kid some slack, s/he seems to like learning, which is good
| Yeah looks like I got educated. Kind of want to check out using notepad myself now
| He probably already knows about the existence of the linker and has figured out what LIBPATH is.
| Jlink is a java linker, no?
| >>130453
Yes, but not in the regular sense of things. Jlink strips out unused classes from JRE itself, as opposed to the usual C/C++ linkers.
Added to that, Jlink is fairly new (introduced in version 9 of JDK); you don't need to use Jlink either, it's optional and unnecessary for the most part (especially if you're only doing simple 'proof-of-concept codes' like Hello World)
| Notepad++ is pretty good for web stuff though. I write my HTML/CSS and even most of PHP in it and it's alright. And it's just very pleasant to work with, for some reason.

| There’s a student in my programming course who asks more questions about submitting homework than anyone else. Because he uses notepad+ and the command line to build all his files.
Net beans is free just saying.
