Want to start with Web Development but confused with which Editing Software to use? You've come to the right place. Here I'll be telling you about 5 Best Softwares and you can choose any one of them as per your wish, or which suits your requirements.


1. Brackets (Windows, OS X, Linux) ⇒


Brackets is an open-source code editor with the primary focus on web development. It is created by Adobe Systems and is maintained on GitHub by Adobe and other open-source developers. It supports many languages like C, C++, Java, HTML, Python, JavaScript, CSS, and a few more. 
One of it's best features is Live Preview. You can instantly view your coding results on a browser page(usually chrome) so if there's some error, you can rectify it then and there.
In my opinion, this is the best editor for web development.

2. Atom(Windows, OS X, Linux) ⇒



The Developers call it "Hackable Text Editor for 21st Century" as it is fully customizable in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Atom was developed by GitHub Team and is maintained by the GitHub community.
