Where can I run my code of HTML that is not in workspaces? Does HTML has it's own program?

Where?

Hi Santiago,

You can run HTML in any browser! Workspaces is really just an editor and a server for some back end languages. So, if you put your HTML code into a text editor such as Notepad (on PC) or Text Edit/or similar plain text editor (on Mac) and then save the file with a ".html" extension, you can view it in any browser. You may have to right click on the file and select a similar option to "Open with" and select your browser. And then voila! HTML in the browser without Workspaces. =]

Thanks, just to make sure, so HTML doesn't have it's own framework like ruby on rails?

HTML files are individual files by themselves unless they are part of a framework, but HTML itself does not have a framework like Ruby on Rails.

You are most certainly welcome! If you want to check out some awesome IDEs for web development, check out Brackets, Aptana Studio, Notepad++, and there are a bunch more out there. These are just some of the most popular ones that have very neat features for development!

They're interpreted by the browser. so in a sense you could say the browser is HTMLs framework.
