other helpful materials. The materials will be added as needed. Please
feel free to make suggestions.
- We will use a text editor jEdit. It has built-in
support for HTML, CSS, and PHP code (color-coding, automatic keyword
completion, etc.), and that's the text editor that we will use in the
lab. jEdit is Java-based, so you need to install the latest (1.4 or
above) version of Java first, it's available here.
Then
download and
install jEdit (get the stable version, not the
development version).
- WinSCP - a secure
FTP program available at university labs. To install it on your home
machine (assuming that you have Windows) download and run the
installation package for the
latest stable (not beta!) version. Read the documentation to learn how
to use WinSCP. The Quick Start
Guide has enough to get you started.
- Netscape 8.0
browser (free download)
- Opera browser (free
download)
