when a website goes real.

Hello everybody!

This is an amazing way to learn about html5 and css. However, I have a silly question to ask: right now we are working on the Workspace app provided by Treehouse, but what application should I use to make the website real? I am trying to work in a parallel mode between teacher's lessons and a 'personal porpuose' website, but since I am a beginner, I was wondering where should I store all my coding (that right now are on a .txt file) to make it work for the WWW.

thanks!

Chiara

Hey Chiara,

All you have to do is change the extension of your .txt files to .html (for your HTML files) and .css (for your CSS files). Subsequently, you can open any HTML file in your web browser of choice and everything should work exactly like it does in a Treehouse workspace.

You don't need to save your code on the Internet.

In fact, I'd rather save my files/folders on my personal computer, so I can work on them even without Internet.

I recommend using Sublime Text to make programs, and use your browser to run your programs.

Although you are running the program on a web browser, though, it isn't published on the Internet and also you don't need Internet to do this.

Just double-click your HTML file and by default it should run the program on a browser :)

In that case, try Atom instead. It's free and just as good — if not better :)
