Does JavaScript IDE Really Helpful

palak231

Hi this is Palak Sharma
I am an engineering student. Lots of programming languages I am learning here. HTML, CSS and JavaScript are my favorite. Well I have taken a project of developing a website and for making it more dynamic and interactive I am using JavaScript. However I am not too much good in JavaScript, one of my team member suggest me that I should use JavaScript IDE's which will help me on this. However I am not aware about it how it will actually work and what kind of IDE's are there that I can use. Is it really helpful ?
Can anyone give their suggestions on this, would be a great support in this regards.
Hoping for some positive responses.
Thanks

This should have gone into Help/Advice, perhaps one of the mods can move it.

As to your question:
An IDE is a tool that makes you more productive by providing comfortability measures.
However, it cannot do the coding for you. Javascript is a fairly easy language to learn, consider investing a few days into reading one of the many tutorials out there.

An IDE is an Interactive Development Environment. It will help you manage file structure, manage variables, and notice simple errors. But it won't teach you JavaScript. Instead it has features like renaming a symbol all at once so you don't make a typo. It can also suggest existing variable or function names with valid syntax so you can focus on the algorithm instead of language rules. Think of IDEs as a tool that automates many of the mechanical tasks but you still have to generate the ideas.

I suggest using Visual Studio Code, it's a commonly used IDE with lots of support: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/javascript
