Hi I have done courses for html , css and javascript . Now I want to develop webpages. In workshops I have done in browser for ex. codepen ...there i know how things will work. But for a real development I need help . I think I need to use some tool or framework in order to accomplish this . Which tool I should use and how can I use.

Just google 'sublime text' and it should be the first or second hit. From their website just download it. Make sure that you save your file as .html .js .css ect before you try to execute it though. It also makes code completion active when you do that.

Treehouse TeacherI agree completely with Evan McPheron. I also use Sublime Text 3. Don't let the name fool you. It doesn't mean you can only have files that are .txt. You can also have javascript and html and all other sorts of files that are text-based. For example: your javascript files you will just use "Save as" and then type in the file name myscript.js or whatever you want to name it. The same goes for your CSS and html files. Hope this helps!

222 PointsThanks.. But my doubt is that, I need to write all html, css and javascript together to get a webpage right, then in that case how can I do it. Thanks for helping..

Treehouse TeacherDawn Alphonse Jose As has already been stated, you can make all three with Sublime Text 3 (and even more besides that). You open the application and type in your code. Then you chose File -> Save As. Type the name of your file in File name: and you can choose from the dropdown menu beside Save as type and pick one of about 100 different file types (including javascript, html, and css).

222 PointsHi ,
It seems like you guys didn't understand my question. But could you please mention the steps to build a dynamic webpage using sublime text and run the same to get a dynamic webpage. I tried in this way .I created a folder named study. I wrote html and save it as .html file in that folder. In the same way I wrote css and javascript and saved as .css and .js file types respectively. But When I try to run by clicking on html document , I got only the result of html page , and not getting results from css and javascript.
I have tried in codepen and I will get the result . for example an webpage with blue background .
How can I do the same with sublime text ?
Else any other way to do the same ?
Thank you

Treehouse TeacherDawn Alphonse Jose if it's not showing the results of your CSS and Javascript, it's most likely because the files are improperly linked in your HTML. In codepen, you don't have to write the code to link the JavaScript and CSS to the HTML. This must be done manually when you write it on your own local system. Here's some examples to link them:

Happy coding!
