ATTENTION: The Cloud9 sign up process has changed due to the company being acquired by Amazon. Not to worry! You should watch this video, but DO NOT follow the steps in this video. Once you've finished watching it, proceed to the next lesson to get your free Cloud9 account.

• We will use Cloud9 for writing all of our code.
• Without using a platform like Cloud9 most students get demotivated and can spend hours or days setting up their development environments manually.
• Therefore, this tool is incredibly valuable for students - and best of all - it is free to use.
