All right, here we go.
We're gonna get started here,
downloading some of the software that we're gonna be using in this course.
The first thing that we need to download is a Text Editor.
So, Sublime Text, which we highly recommend you use,
is a really great text editor for engineers, programmers of any kind.
So, they support all different kinds of languages including SQL,
which we will be using.
And yeah, so it's a free text editor and David's gonna talk
a little bit about some of the reason why it's great, some of the features it has.
>> Yeah, so when we say Text Editor, it's basically like Microsoft Word, but
for coding.
One of the two main features that we like about it, is that it color codes your code
so that you can organize and easily visually see what your code is saying.
Because it'll break it up it into different colors for different elements.
The second thing we like about it is that,
you wanna keep all your queries that you make in a single location.
Or single folder that has all these different SQL files.
So that you can come back to it and copy and paste the query and run it again.
Instead of having to rewrite the whole query every time
you want to run the query.
So yeah, we recommend this.
You can go to sublimetext.com it's free.
>> Yeah, so it's free.
And if you come to sublimetext.com, you scroll down here,
it will have the version and the operating system that it detects from your browser.
And so when you hover over the download button,
it says Sublime Text may be downloaded and evaluated for free,
however a license must be purchased for continued use.
But, there's no enforce time for the evaluation, therefore you can use it for
free as long as you'd like.
And if you go over to the download page here, you see that it's supported by
Windows and Linux as well as Mac.
So if you click here to download, it will download right here.
And then we'll just click there to open it up.
>> Yeah. You can install it on your own.
>> Blah, blah, blah.
>> You already have it installed.
>> Yeah, we have it installed, I'm just gonna open up a blank coding page here.
And so you can type in.
Text will just be white.
We had some, that's gonna be some SQL commands.
And so, you see that that turns red.
We'll talk more about that later.
But yeah, so, you're all set up.
You wanna save that to your dock at the bottom of the page,
cuz you'll be using that all the time, and in the next lecture,
we'll be downloading MySQL and getting started.
See you there.
