Code Editors
The two main code editors that are on the Raspberry Pi are Thonny and Geany
Thonny appears to be written in Python,but also specific for editing python code, the screen shot appears to be from a different version to that on the Code Club Pi's but both are fine for editing code. I may just need to update the pi we were using though.
Geany is more of a general purpose and supports many different languages from Python, C, Ruby, php as well as HTML / CSS.
Both editors are fine.
