Courses Plus Student 12,666 PointsAnyone know of any programs to write code
I've already learned HTML, CSS, and some JavaScript, but I want to start coding on my own and working on projects. I want to be able to code without workspaces. Do you have any suggestions on great programs to code on?

56,414 PointsThere are a number of great, free text editors available for editing your code. One of these along with git and a shell/terminal (standard on Linux/Mac, and git for Windows helpfully includes Git Bash as a shell) to provide the console will give you most or all of what workspaces provides.
If you are willing to spend a little (around 60 USD) there are also programs called Integrated Development Environments (IDE) such as Webstorm that are quite powerful. They have built-in consoles and preview capabilities (using a local webserver instead of just viewing files). And a host of other features to help manage, build, and deploy your projects.

Atom is also very good and it's open source.

2,252 PointsIs it possible to get a console that works like the console on treehouse but with Atom as the editor. I'm looking for a console that can show the errors and give hints like the treehouse console does. Cheers
