Hello, I’m new to coding and I’m looking to find a code editor that I could practice building projects on. I’m talking something I could practice HTML, CSS, and eventually JavaScript. I seen something on the internet that said Sublime Text is good to start out with. Is this true? I would be using a MacBook.
Visual Studio Code is what I’d recommends for beginners. it’s fairly easy to set up and very powerful.

I ultimately recommend visual studio code as its a very beginning friendly code editor and you can install very good crazy extensions that makes your job easier for example, prettier to auto format code nicely, live server to create a local live server for your local projects and Live Share to collabrate on same code lively at same time with others.
Also , Do not need to say,however, it is industry leader.
Thank you! I’m going to check them out.
Thanks! I have VSC, it’s just a little confusing for me at the moment. I haven’t been able to link CSS to my HTML file.
To link a css file to the html you can use the <link> element.
Example:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="filename.css">
Thank you! I’m going to try it.
Here is a screenshot of me trying to change the paragraph font color in VSC but it’s not changing anything for.
Did you save your files?
I was not saving my files and once I did it made the changes, but once it made the change once it stopped. It will not add the style I want on the “h2” element. It will not even change the color on the first two. For instance, if I change the red to black it will stay red.
You need to keep saving your files every time you want to see the realtime update
It has auto-save function though! File->Auto Save 
Thank you! That was the issue! Problem solved!
I did this immediately when I saw this message! Thank you!
Can you mark my reply as the answer pls? Thanks
Done! Thanks for the help!
