(2)If you want to address your question to a particular TA/IA, please *mention his/her name* clearly at the top of your message.
(3) We also suggest that you use individual email ids of TA/IAs (given below) only under *exceptional* circumstances (e.g.: an information that you would prefer to keep between you and only one TA/IA).

It is much better to use smart editors when you are writing html, PHP, and JavaScript code.

SAVE YOUR FILE AS HTML for part 1.

Here are two links for editors that we use and recommend:

link to download NotePad++ (for Windows)

link to download TextWrangler (for Mac)

Note: it is not sufficient to put the hw1 folder in Class Resources;
it is important to go the extra step and place it into your home directory.
