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
