-Programmers use **text editors** to write code.

 We recommend you use **[Atom](https://atom.io/)** at codebar. It's free, open source, and runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux. **[Sublime Text 2](http://www.sublimetext.com/)** is another popular choice. It's free to download & use for as long as you like (though it will nag you intermittently to buy it when you save your work), and it runs on Windows, Mac and Linux.

-You'll have one of these already! Windows comes with [Internet Explorer](https://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/), and OS X comes with [Safari](https://www.apple.com/uk/safari/). Most Linux distributions come with [Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/), which is also available for Windows and OS X. You can also download [Chrome](https://www.google.com/chrome/) which is a popular alternative. You can get started with whatever you currently use, but when you reach the later tutorials the powerful developer tools in Chrome and Firefox will be useful. Your coach will show you how to use them while you work through the tutorials.
