Text Editor

Sublime Text all the way

We recommend using Sublime Text as a text editor, which you can download and run on Mac OSX, Ubuntu, or Windows. This is an editor that has been specifically designed for writing code, comes with a lot of great tools, and is easily customized.

Good editors like Sublime help us format things. For example, when we ’re on a line that starts with def something and hit “return” at the end of the line, Sublime will already indent the next line by two spaces. If we now type end, then Sublime notices that we’re closing the method and outdents it again so that def and end sit on the same level.
