To do:

**Text Editor** Download a text editor to work in. I like [Atom](https://atom.io/) but [Text Wrangler](http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/) or [Sublime Text 2](http://www.sublimetext.com/2) are also good.

Github
Review this introduction to Git and Github. We will be using this platform as a code and course repository. If you don't want to use the command line (give it a try!), you can download the github app (forMac or for PC).

Command Line
There are some excellent tutorials that will introduce you to basic use of the command line here. Do the first few steps over this week to get the hang of it. Doing these can be quite relaxing.
