How do I get started with writing/previewing my code?

Hey guys,

I'm just about to start my 'Random Quote Generator' project.

I have downloaded all the files and set up my github account...

What do I do now? Where am I supposed to be doing this, in workspaces?

I have downloaded Sublime Text Editor and have currently opened up all the files in that.

How do I preview the page and test that what I've written works? How do I debug my code?

Thank you

Hi Matt,

Nice work so far. You can definitely create projects in Workspaces. It gives a built in preview that allows you to see how your project is progressing. You can also use something like Sublime, Notepad++, Atom, or Brackets.io as well. Each of those may have a slightly different path to take to preview your code. Here's a quick and easy Youtube vid that may help with Sublime. Best of luck!
