IDEs

One of the most important thing you need to code is a good Integrated Development Environment (IDE). There is a wide range of IDEs from the simple and free to the most sophisticated and expensive. IDEs range from language specific ones to multi-language support. Having the right IDE can help a developer manage workflows, access to some specific development tools, reduce errors… I have compiled a list of 22 most used and robust IDEs to help developers find the tool they need to code in the best conditions.

The alternative if you don’t want to use an IDE and install a whole environment is to use an online code editors, you can check the list I put together here.
