You need a text editor. Source code is plain text, so something like Notepad will work. But in practice, you'll want a source code editor. There are many out there, some free some paid. My personal favorites are Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus-plus.org/) on Windows and TextWrangler (http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/) on Windows. Though I haven't used it myself, Sublime Text (http://www.sublimetext.com/) looks really cool.
You could also use an IDE (which is an editor plus other project management tools). I prefer PyCharm (http://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/) for this. Or on the free side, try Aptana (http://www.aptana.com/) Happy coding! _Nik On 3/4/2013 3:37 PM, Ugorji Nnanna wrote: > Hello, I'm new to Django and programming.
