Editors such as atom went for hack ability and usability whereas editors such as vim went for productivity. However not all features are similar in all code editors. Almost every code editor provides some common features such as syntax highlighting, code completion etc. During our research on this domain we looked at different approaches taken by different code editors and went through their documentation to find new ways of improving the existing code editors. Intelligence in editors can improve their productivity and help them to make the best use of their time. Lastly, the paper concludes with tips for optimizing the learning process by introducing effective learning techniques, highlighting the importance of programming practice, and collecting additional advice from programmers and self-learners.Ĭode editor is the most fundamental tool for computer programmers as they pass most of their time in coding. Second, I provide learners with recommendations as to which language to learn first – there is no one ‘best’ choice – as well as how and where to find effective learning resources. Learning programming is thus divided into three main steps: First, I highlight the importance of setting a strong learning goal for motivation, and provide a big-picture overview of what ‘learning programming’ encompasses to structure the approach. While most beginners and the majority of academic contributions focus mostly on technical aspects such as which language to learn first, or which learning resources to use, this paper analyzes the learning process itself. The single most important factor for succeeding in learning programming has been found to be of human nature: learner motivation and persistence. Its intended readers are primarily entrepreneurs and ‘startup people’ who are driven to build new businesses with code, although the proposed approach is also transferable to other domains and audiences.

Additionally, it incorporates effective learning techniques derived from psychological research.

Its recommendations are based on a review of the existing academic literature which is complemented by the analysis of numerous contributions by software developers, self-learners, and teachers of programming. This paper provides a structured approach for self-learning programming for free on the internet.
