Requirements

there are only two tools required for mastering the art of dojogame

The first is your editor. Your text editor should allow for syntax highlighting and line numbering.

Editor
Linux: Gedit comes as part of the Ubuntu distribution.

Windows: Notepad++ is free and open source

Browser
All platforms:

Although you can use tany modern browser for day one we recommend Firefox. Why?

a) consistency. For the very first hour, reducing all variables is paramount to getting past the initial fear and excitemt.

b) firefox will allows us complete the first dojogame stage "Build a game in 5 lines of code" without additional tags such as and . Not all browsers allow this. (We will continue to monitor this for changes).

Zip
Sometimnes a participant will not have their own laptop at hand. Most platforms as far back as windows xp, will have built in compression tools to allow particpant zip their folder and email the zipped file to themselves for future use.
