Eclipse is (even though I hate it and wish it was visual studio) excellent. I would get familiar with debug mode and watch window etc. You can learn a lot just from debugging. Also and IDE like Eclipse will attempt to precompile the code and it will throw up at errors like that- and will even underline them in little squiggles letting you know something is wrong. It also has (if I am remembering correctly) color coding so you would see it propagating down (although Notepad++ does that too)
