I am looking into using Django

CodeCompletion,

Syntax highlighting

Integration with other language (HTML, XML,)

Pylint integration

Unit test integration 

Revision control system

Cloud integration (Heroku, appengine)

Database integration

Benefits of using a programming text editor is syntax highlighting, indentation,etc,.

IDLE, gedit are suitable for my operating sytem.

IDE contains source code editor, build tools and debugger. All in one place no need to switch/search for other application use in a system. Single application to develop, run and debug.

In Both IDE and text editor user can edit his code in common, but ide carries more option like build tools,debugging.

Ninja IDE runs in my os.

I choose IDLE

Because i have tried various IDE's but for python 3 support they show bugs / errors or sometimes a complex installation even. But Idle is better for this course. It looks simple easy integration of codes.

Learning Objectives

Describe several benefits of using a programming text editor.

Text editors allow you to edit and write plain text without formatting. This is especially useful if you are working with code in programming and markup languages.

Advanced text editors include features like syntax highlighting, which can color code text based on the programming language it is written in, and macros, which allow you to automate repetitive tasks.

Identify one or more programming text editors that run on your Operating System.

Notepad++, and IDLE

Describe the concept/benefits of using an Integrated Development Environment.

IDE stands for integrated development Environment. It is a collection of facilities provided to the users. Database designer and application programmers use it. It is used to create database and database applications. An IDE simplifies the tasks of creating and using a database..

IDE's use a graphical interface. The users do not create database applications manually. They use the graphical interface of IDE to enter specifications of the required application. The IDE automatically build the application.  A user does not require detailed knowledge of the database system to create database applications.

Some benefits of IDE are as follows:

• 				It is relatively easy to use.

• 				It simplifies the creation of database applications.

• 				It does not require a detailed knowledge of database design/development.

• 				It provides predefined facilities to search, sort, retrieve and process data in database.

• 				It also provide facilities to create an attractive user interface with menu, buttons text boxes etc. 

Identify some similarities and differences between a Programming Text Editor and an Integrated Development Environment.

Both can be used for coding but IDE's offer syntax formatting and automation of tasks (plus more).

List at least one Integrated Development Environment that runs on your Operating System.

Ninja IDE

Choose a programming text editor and/or Integrated Development tool to use during this course.

Notepad++,Ninja and possibly Bottle

Describe why you chose your current programming tool and share this description with the class.

Notepad++ - Good reviews, ease of us/installation

Bottle – Based on reviews,it's an entire web-framework in a single Python module. 

I've tried lots of editors and IDEs but stick to Gedit on Precise and Editra on W7.

They both have Python highlighting and Editra can debug with an addon. I'll use IDLE when things get more complicated

Benefits of programming text editor - syntax highlighting, intending, code folding, ..etc

Text Editors on my system - Gedit, vim

Benefits of IDE's - Code completion, debugging support, refactoring support, manages the build(in some cases), templates ...etc

IDE running on my system - Eclipse (Java) , Netbeans, Geany

For Python -  Gedit, Geany

Gedit seems to be fast and light, and useful for small projects and Geany is for more complex projects. I'm also using geany for C++

Advantages: syntax highlighting, in some instances, ability to test and troubleshoot code

Editors: Notepad; TextWrangler

Similarities/Differences:  IDE has text editor capability, but text editor does not function as IDE; Debugging available in IDE; Both are useful for writing code

IDE: Komodo Edit (from Activestate); IDLE; 

For use: TextWrangler or IDLE

Chose TextWrangler based upon recommendation from a friend, provides syntax support for Python, Perl, etc.

Identify some similaritites and differences between a Programming Text Editor and an Integrated Development Environment.

I guess that for some programming languages, like Java for example it's easyer to use an IDE because you have to deal with many classes and in my opinion IDE's provide a lot of help. Text editors are good because in my opinion it's easyer to learn the language.

With text editors you can have highlighted text for easier programming and it saves text without formatting.    
Notepad ++ is free and works with windows.
IDEs provide a debugger to easily spot errors of code and automation tools for speed.
From what I understand the text editors are imbued within IDEs... You can choose to work with a text editor alone or get more funcionality with IDEs.
Eclipse and Ninja are IDEs that runs on Windows 7
Ninja IDE seems cool. Looks like it has everything I need to start.

I installed Pycharm 2.5 from JetBrains

I explored some of the different options, but for now I think I'm going to stick with vim, since it's what I'm most familiar with and will probably require the least learning curve...
