Software suggestion (Web dev)

[Snow0296]

Hi guys, 

 

I am new to coding. I chose HTML to be the set of codes to learn first, hoping to get basics of web develpment. I cam across Codecademy.com from 1 of the forum post. I have been trying it for 3 days and really like the feature where it shows and updates the browser as we update the codes. Is there any software out there thats free and can do this? Adobe Edge has this feature, but as a starter, I dont want to pay for anything yet. Yes! I am aware there is a trial vers. and the possibility of getting it free, but if theres a free software out there that can do it, I'd prefer that.

 

Thanks in advance!

Brackets does almost that, its live preview dynamically updates when you save changes to css and auto refreshes when you save the html

notepad ++, brackets or if you have more money than sense... dreamweaver.

You guys are awesome! No, I dont have more money, and not thinking of spending it on this unless I really need it.

dreamweaver's preview feature does terrible with proper web development, if you can't afford two monitors I highly suggest simply writing the html and just alt tabbing to a browser and press f5. Thats what I do at course where we don't get two monitors and it works fine

Just downloaded Brackets, refreshes the preview when you hit ctrl+s or save. I want another monitor too for preview, right now im just doing it side by side on a 21" 1080p screen, works fine for me.
