If you are a programmer and is concerned with the programming subject, then a much easier applications are waiting on your way to use a text editor with syntax highlighting otpion so that you are able to view errors or mistyped something inside the program. In this article I will provide 3 lightweight free text editors for programmers on Windows.
Check Out the three Powerful Windows Text Editor For Programmers:
Intype Windows Text Editor:
Intype is a powerful and intuitive code editor for Windows with lightning fast response. It is easily extensible and customizable, thanks in part to its support for scripting and native plug-ins. It makes development in any programming or scripting language quick and easy.
As you may know, Intype has two bundle repositories: built-in one stored in /bundles and user one stored in /user/bundles. Built-in bundles are those you will get with the installation. Every installation package is overwriting the built-in repository so you’ll loose any changes if you won’t back it up before re/installing. The same will happen when bundle updater is implemented once our new site gains the feature. To protect your changes, Intype is also looking into user bundles repository. There is a simple rule that items in user repository have greater priority than in built-in one.

Notepad++ Windows Text Editor For Programmer:
Notepad++ is a free (as in "free speech" and also as in "free beer") source code editor and Notepad replacement that supports several languages. Running in the MS Windows environment, its use is governed by GPL Licence.
Based on a powerful editing component Scintilla, Notepad++ is written in C++ and uses pure Win32 API and STL which ensures a higher execution speed and smaller program size. By optimizing as many routines as possible without losing user friendlyness, Notepad++ is trying to reduce the world carbon dioxide emissions. When using less CPU power, the PC can throttle down and reduce power consumption, resulting in a greener environment.
This project is mature. However, there may be still some bugs and missing features that are being worked on. If you have any questions or suggestions about this project, please post them in the forums. Also, if you wish to make a feature request, you can post it there as well. But there's no guarantee that I'll implement your request.

I guess this three software will help programmers in understanding and programming concepts instead of using tough programming applications. Do post your comment on this
