When your web design professor expects you to make your whole final HTML and CSS website project with NOTEPAD... 😖😵

I've seen this problem a few times. How would your professor know?

@CodeMonkeyG exactly. He wouldn't know anyways. He does all of his class demos with notepad. Ugh. I'm using coffeecup HTML editor and it's fine. I feel bad for the rest of the students who do their projects with notepad. I'm half expecting them to come into class with broken wrists one of these days.

I mean, if you can't do it in notepad, do you really understand the material?

@Alone I could do it in notepad but I just really like having auto formatting. And having a live preview of my webpage as I edit it. That's it.

@seraphimsystems Excellent point. I made the mistake in the first place of taking a basic introduction course and the professor is trying to help out the kids who have no clue what to do. I like having the formatting creature comforts of an actual HTML editor. It helps with my speed and efficiency.

@Alone It’s faster, more pro efficient, easier to debug, and if you use vim, it is lot faster because of shortcuts

I don't see any problem with adding a ++ to the end. I mean it'll still be called notepad

I made one of my final projects using vim over ssh during the teacher's lectures -- when she wasn't controlling our screens at least.

I hated that class.

@Root ugh feels bad. They controlled our screens alot back high school. Not so much in university though. Students are more independent with their devices I guess.

@Condor Controlling as in broadcasting while lecturing, with the capability of controlling mouse and keyboard input.

She would often broadcast while lecturing to make sure we were paying attention. The problem was her lectures amounted to flash and Photoshop tutorials I could have found online for free, and completed in a tenth of the time. (Also, if we deviated from the tutorials at all, we were docked points or given a zero. I hated that class so much.)

The final project was a portfolio website. She wasn't a web developer, so she sort of left it up to us, and encouraged using photoshop to autogenerate the markup from slices. I used vim instead.

@Root yep my high school Comp Sci class did the same thing. Except with light theme NetBeans and Visual Studio (we were learning Java). We had the lights off and the same white screen on every computer that was powered on in the room. As well as the projector! Boy was that bright.

Every time I would log back onto the computers at school to do work, I'd have to switch the theme to dark. At times I'd make my own if I was feeling ambitious. My own little sanctuary away from the bright lights.
