Re: The trouble with beginning is beginning. Where do I start?

@layouteditor – many people benefit from paid sites like treehouse et al., but I would recommend trying on your own first – it is certainly possible to learn web dev – and well – *without* purchasing anything like that. My first recommendation is always google’s [from the ground up](http://code.google.com/edu/submissions/html-css-javascript/).

As for code editors, I definitely have an opinion: **do not** use DreamWeaver or any “WYSIWYG” editor (FrontPage, etc.). They build bad sites and worse habits. As andy says, you should learn how to code by hand first.

I’ve never used sublime text, but I can recommend other Fantastic (and *free*) code editors. [Komodo Edit](http://activestate.com/komodo-edit) is my personal choice. It has tons of useful features and works cross-platform (Win/Mac/Linux).
