There are a number of different editors designed for programming. You may already have a favorite editor; if so you can continue using that editor. If you have never used a programming editor, there are a number of good editors available, several of them free of charge. Most Railsbridge instructors use the Sublime editor, so you may want to install Sublime; if you end up asking for help during your class it may be easier for an instructor or TA to help you if you are using Sublime. Here is a list of some of the more widely used editors:

5+
* <a href="http://www.sublimetext.com/" target="_blank">Sublime 2</a> is popular with many Ruby and Rails users. You can use it free for evaluation, then must pay to continue using it.
6+
* <a href="http://komodoide.com/download/" target="_blank">Komodo</a> is a very good free programming editor, that is not used as widely as in the past. It is relatively easy to use.
7+
* <a href="http://macromates.com/" target="_blank">textmate</a> is very popular in the Ruby and Rails community. It is not free.
8+
* <a href="http://aptana.com/products/studio3" target="_blank">Aptana Studio</a> is a free, full-featured, development IDE (Integrate Development Environment) for Ruby and Rails. It has many powerful features to assist you while you develop your code. You can install Aptana as either a stand-along program or as an <a href="https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/" target="_blank">Eclipse</a> plugin.
9+
* <a href="http://www.jetbrains.com/ruby/" target="_blank">Rubymine</a> is used by many companies for their Ruby and Rails software development. Is is also a full-featured IDE, very similar to Aptana. RubyMine is not free.

There are other programming editors available, but these are among the most popular. Some people use simple non-programming editors, such as WordPad or NotePad; it is fine to use a simple editor, though at some point you should look into using an editor designed for programming as using a programming editor or IDE will improve your programming productivity.
