So I will be doing a workshop on programming for the biology department at my university and I was wondering what would best suit the users.

The following are a must:
support windows & mac ( the more consistent between the two the better)
    free
no large install footprint, preferably simple install procedure (running on laptops)
    syntax highlighting
    straightforward to use

anything else is a bonus.

Whats your experience with what you use?

Many thanks

+1 for Geany

If it's to learn D programming, then I strongly advice CoEdit (despite I think that Geany's automatic brace insertion and copy paste features work MUCH better).
