Free Web Editor – Installing Free HTML Editor Nvu

This series of programming video tutorials will be on Hypertext Markup Language, which is also more commonly know as HTML.

In this first video, we will look at how to install a free HTML Editor called Nvu (pronounced “N-View” for New View). Nvu is open source and it is a What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWYG) Editor, which means it allows you to work in a Word type document and just drag images, headers, tables, and such to the document without having to deal directly with HTML source code. You can also click on a tab to work with the source code so this is a great tool for beginners. It also has File Transfer Protocol (FTP) built in so you can connect right to the files on your web site.
