I am using the getting started with rails guide and i am stuck at a
certain
point. I am up to creating a new html.erb file within the
app/views/articles. However how do i actually create the new file. Do u
do
it in the command prompt or another script editor?
If you’re using Mac OS X, I think TextMate is (still) a good text editor
to start with. It will not grow with you, when you outgrow it I
recommend RubyMine (which I love personally)
Other popular choices include Sublime, or many developers like vi.
Here’s a stack overflow post about different text editor options:
I’d recommend you spend some time reading the manual of whichever one
you choose, and in particular look for the section “How to Create a New
File” which will answer your question in the context of whatever text
editor or IDE you are using.
