CSE 190 M: Web Programming, Summer 2012

Working at Home

last updated June 16, 2012

To work on web programming at home, we recommend that you install the following software, all of which are available for Windows and Mac:

• a web browser that is friendly to web development, such as:
  Google Chrome
• (optional) a window resizing add-on, such as:
  Chrome Window Resizer
• a text editor for typing your programs, such as:
  Sublime Text 2
• an SFTP file transfer program for uploading your programs to our Webster server, such as:
  Cyberduck

If you would prefer different software, that is fine, but we will be most able to help you if you use the avove programs. Here are some decent alternative applications that you could try:

• Browsers:
  • Firefox
    • Firebug add-on for Firefox
• Text Editors:
  • Notepad++ text editor (Windows)
  • TextPad text editor (Windows)
  • Smultron text editor (Mac)
• SFTP Clients:
  • WinSCP (Windows)
  • FileZilla (Windows/Mac/Linux)
  • Fugu (Mac)
  • Fetch (Mac)

Because the web pages change frequently and because you are smart and resourceful students, we won't provide detailed instructions here for how to download and install these programs. If you get stuck, please contact your TA and/or the instructor for help.
