Handing in through Github

Getting started

  • A browser (run google-chrome, or firefox_stable on the department machines)
  • A text editor (Microsoft Word, Open Office, and Text Edit won’t work!)

Handing in labs

Mac:

  • Free & simple: textwrangler, Xcode
  • Paid: coda, textmate, sublimetext2, and many others

PC:

Linux

  • kate, or gedit

Handing in assignments

  • Open your text editor, write some HTML.
  • Save your file as index.html, and then open this file using your browser (File > Open File, or similar).

For writing other kinds of files, make sure you use the correct extension, e.g. .css, .js.

If your css file is in the same directory, it will be included as you expect, even though you are viewing a file that is hosted locally (on your own computer) and not by a webserver.

Now that you’ve done this, take a look at the web inspector miniguide for tips on how to debug your page.
