Your first web application project
The fastest way to believe the toolchain works is to build the smallest possible web application and run it.
Create the project
- Choose a new web project from the templates and give it a simple name.
- Accept the default location so you can find it again.
- Let the editor create the starting files.
Add one visible change
Open the default page in source view and change the heading text. Then run the project. The browser shows your words, which proves the whole chain is working: editor, build, server, browser.
Markup
<h1>My first working page</h1>Small first. Resist the urge to build something large today. A project that runs is worth more than a project that is half designed.
If anything fails, the lessons on compiler errors and running a project cover the usual causes.
