Programming directly in any language's Command Window is inefficient; instead, we use text editors that offer organized layouts, code folding, snippets, and linting. In this course, we'll use SublimeText, a free, lightweight, versatile, and well-established text editor.

Installing SublimeText

• Go to www.SublimeText.com;

• Click Download at the top right;

• Download the version for your operating system;

• Open and install the download.
