I have a coworker whom I’m supposed to be teaching how to script web pages. He doesn’t need to be a super pro or anything; just good enough that if I’m away, he could identify page errors, change code, or at least step through something with my guidance and fix it.

He’s supposed to be learning how to write some basic stuff, server and client-side (vbs, vb.net, dHTML, JScript, etc.) and keeps bitching and moaning about Notepad. I tried Crimson Editor on him, which one of our web dev guys likes, and more crying. PLEASE help me find something to shut this pussy up before I find out if he’s Windows Compatible (by throwing him out of one).

Thanks.

the fuck? a text editor is a text editor.

notepad++
ultraedit32
coda

Not ASP specific, but great text editor.. looks like it also does ASP syntax hilighting/autocomplete/etc

Funny you should say it like that… he’s Chinese.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I’ll DL a few of these and give him some choices.
