When practicing coding here on treehouse we all use workspace, what do i use to code when not logged on? I am new

what is the equivalent of workspace when im not using treehouse? what can i practice the code iv learned here if i have no access to workspace? I think i missed that bit of the lesson

You need to find some sort of HTML-editor, personally I use Dreamweaver, but there are free alternatives out there if you google a bit

I am a big fan of Sublime Text 2, with the emmet extension installed to speed up a bit of the coding...

I do love emmet

I agree.

Personally I use Sublime 2. But Brackets is pretty good too.

You're Welcome.

Good luck and have fun with your coding adventure here on Treehouse. :)

Sublime text 3 for me, and Atom from Github is pretty cool too. Brackets has some cool live edit features. I keep coming back to sublime as my workhorse though.

Thank you for the answers I will advise anyone to sign up to Team tree house, I love the software and the community already.

Hey Scott Glover another thing worth checking out is Cloud 9, which is like workspaces here. It is an internet development environment.

I use the free plan on cloud 9, and you can do a lot, like select a pre-configured environment, just like workspaces! Since it's browser based, it makes it really easy to code on multiple computers, since you're coding in the cloud.

It works really well for me as occasionally I'll code on a Chromebook, or someone else's laptop, and all I have to do is log into my C9 account, and there is my code, regardless of computer or operating system I'm actually on. It's a fantastic tool!

I'd also check out Codepen. Codepen is more based for front end, not full fledged projects like Cloud9, but Codepen is a great source for inspiration, and a great place to play around with front end technologies quickly, as it has a bunch of libraries already pre-loaded and all you have to do is a few clicks to install anything front-end that you want.

I use codepen a lot to experiment with javascript, animations, and isolate problems I might be having in a clean environment.

nice will check it out after a i get through my videos this morning, cloud9 sounds good as i travel a bit, and the front end development tool is like a god send or what ever they call it as its not where my skill is, Im more of a sick work ethic kind of person.

Another vote for sublime 3!

Here's an article that compares a few of the most popular text editors. http://www.sitepoint.com/sitepoint-smackdown-atom-vs-brackets-vs-light-table-vs-sublime-text/

I will check the article and post something soon about my experience using them soon.
