Try Eclipse. It's clean and simple but at the same time has all the tools you'll ever need and allows you to work with coding that is not Java too. Give it a go!

I really depends on what you want to do.

Eclipse and Netbeans are IDEs (Integrated Development Environment = Really Power Editor) that can be used to edit many languages. I'd recommend the latter.

But what do you want to make exactly? Console programs, programs with a full-blown GUI, webpages, servers, ...?

Just being really simple, on Windows, use Notepad

You can actually apply much of what you've already learned to creating a desktop application.

Nowadays all the cool kids are using HTML5 and JavaScript to create all kinds of things. Look it up on your favourite search engine, i.e. HTML5 desktop application.

If you want to get advanced, use something called "Qt Quick", which uses JavaScript for application logic and its own QML for the design.

Yep, basically this ^

I can only reccomend Eclipse however as I haven't had a lot of experience with much else.

Like others have said, it depends on what you want to do- as well as your skill level :P

Use NotePad++, it is free and easy to use. The interface is simple, it point out your mistakes, and is compatible with pretty much any coding language.

Depends on what you want to do:
For JS (incl. HTML & CSS), Notepad++ should suffice. If you want a real IDE I can only recommend NetBeans, since I'm doing programming mostly in Java. NB has pretty nice HTML5/CSS3/JS support imo.
For 'real' programming (sorry JS), CodeBlocks for C/C++ and NetBeans for everything else should do well. Quick changes can be done using emacs/vim and command line, but it might not be the best way just for now.

I code using MS Visual Studio Ultimate (I code in C# Mainly). I got it for free from University so I might aswell use it.

For JS - I use VS - however I have used Netbeans and Eclipse in the past.
For XML - I use Notepad++

On Mac - Textwrangler.

You don't "code" XML -- you write it. XML is not a programming language, it is a markup language.

XML is for some reason hated by many, and is a popular object of ire among tech-related internet forums. These people probably have yet to learn that proper tools(an XML parsing library) are probably better than their own contraptions.

If Internet Exploder can do it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_explorer#Standards_support) for many years, so can you. Learn more about XSLT (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XSLT) and see a new outlook on XML! Once you get the hang of it, you'll love it. I know I do.

I use to write XML in a game modification for engine effects but I left :P
