Zero budget, student-friendly CF/HTML/CSS editor?
I teach web design, web programming (JavaScript, some JS libraries, SQL, and CF), and computer science at a public high school that has zero budget for software for my classes. We have a license for Homesite, but it doesn't play well with our environment and is no longer worth the hassle. I've tried Aptana, but feel that it's too complex for teaching beginners web design. What's more, I really don't like the requirement that Eclipse-based editors have for working in a project paradigm on web files. I use Netbeans for CompSci, which IS project-oriented, but that makes a lot more sense given the language. So, what are the free (as in, free) options out there that support HTML/CSS/JS/CF that are at least reasonably user-friendly?

Sublime Text 2 with the CF plugin and the enhanced CFML/HTML plugin Adobe should open source homesite ;) On Thu, Apr 11, 2013 at 1:12 PM, Pete Ruckelshaus pruckelsh...@gmail.comwrote: I teach web design, web programming (JavaScript, some JS libraries, SQL, and CF), and computer science at a public high school that has zero budget for software for my classes.

Sublime Text 2 doesn't meet the FREE requirement, though I'm enjoying my licensed version more and more! +1 on open sourcing homesite! -Original Message- From: Rick Root [mailto:rick.r...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2013 1:16 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: Zero budget, student-friendly CF/HTML/CSS editor?

Re: Zero budget, student-friendly CF/HTML/CSS editor?
It does have an unlimited trial period ;) I purchased a license myself too. Maybe Notepad++ with the CFML plugin...

Re: Zero budget, student-friendly CF/HTML/CSS editor?
I taught an introduction to Web Programming college course for several years using CFEclipse with Adobe ColdFusion. In the very first class I gave them a good overview of using Eclipse on an overhead projector. I walked them through the project creation process and showed them where their files ended up on their local machines. I don't recall any incidents where students had difficulty using the editor. The main problems I had were students simply not understanding how to implement programming concepts in a practical way and students not finishing the projects that they started. Is CF going to be it's own course or are you mixing in CSS, JS, and SQL in with it? In my class I taught simple SQL and CF, and it was hard to squeeze everything in to a single quarter.
