For some projects, a text editor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_editor) with hightlighting like Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus-plus.org/) may be enough. For more advanced projects, you'll probably want to use an Integrated Development Environment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_development_environment) like Netbeans (http://netbeans.org/)

The tricky part is compiling the software (turning human readable code into binary code). If you use a text editor, you'll need to do the compiling manually; if you use an IDE you'll still have to set it up just right to create code for the specific chip you're using.
