# Notes: Replit

### Online IDE

We'll use Replit to write and test the code we use to create web pages.  The site name, Replit comes from the acronym REPL, which stands for "Read, Evaluate, Print, Loop".  REPLs are interactive environment that are good for learning. 

Start by creating an account at <https://replit.com/>.

You can do everything needed in this course inside a free tier account.
