Alternative to workspace

So I want to start building websites on my own but ı want to see what my code does like in workspace.You write the code and refresh the page and you see what your website similarly looks like. Do ı need things like adobe dreamweaver stuff to do it or is workspace really enough? And ıf ı need things like dreamweaver , is there a free thing similar to it? Sorry for my english,I'm not native.

Thanks for your replies guys;)

Hello Ahmet.

Workspaces is the online coding environment Treehouse supplies to support our learning. However most of the time I just use notepad++ to do my coding and download any files from the course videos pages.

If Workspaces doesn't work for you, it's absolutely okay to use your own text editors to follow along. :-)

Hi Ahmet.

You could try Brackets http://brackets.io which is IMO a very nice code editor with a live preview function similar to workspace. The only thing to be mindful of is that the live preview feature only works alongside Google Chrome, so make sure you have both installed.

Hope this helps :)
