To complete the exercises during this semester, you will need a text editor. Unfortunately the text editor you have on your computer is most likely not ideal for writing code - a lot of text editors (note pad, Text edit) actually try and process html, and open up your document in much the same way as a browser does. This means when you save your code, you might end up losing it all together. Word is also not good for this task, due to formatting problems. Word does give you an option to 'save as html', but this will create a web page that looks exactly like the content of your word document, ie a white page with code on it.
So, please download a text editor suited to creating html pages. There are a few out there, but the one I use and recommend is Text Wrangler - download and install it on your home computer. Hopefully we'll have access to this in the lab by the time we are in there again. Text Wrangler is only available for Mac, so if you have a pc, try Kimodo.
