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: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16991/what-ruby-ide-do-you-prefer 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. -Jason On Sep 19, 2014, at 10:55 PM, Aspiring.Student.prgrammer <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey guys > > I am using the getting started with rails guide and i am stuck at a certain > point.
