Intro to Programming-- writing your program video skipping a step

First off-- I'm working on a mac and I'm using Google Chrome.

As soon as Writing Your Program begins, it seems Jim missed a couple of steps with localhost and the text editor.

I receive an error when I insert localhost into my browser. It says "This webpage is not available"

Instead of TextMate, I created the html and js files in Sublime.

I'm guessing there's a disconnect between my files and the browser but I have no idea what the issue is.

Hi Raven,

Jim is using a local development set-up, which is used to have a server on your computer, but you don't need one for JavaScript. Just click the file and it should open in Chrome.
