Using Mac Text Editor and the text does not change color as in the video. Is this important or a non-issue? Everything else was smooth. Also, any opinion as two which language would be easier to start Java or C?

Treehouse TeacherYou need a text editor that supports syntax color highlighting. You might check out Bracket (http://brackets.io). It's a free text editor built for web development. Has syntax color highlighting and a lot more.
