Ascii-text editors

You'll need an ascii-text editor (not a word processor) for almost every tutorial. We recommend Notepad++ (but not Notepad or Wordpad) for Windows, or the built-in TextEdit for Mac with plain-text set as the default preference (Preferences -> New Document -> Format -> Plain text). If you already have a favorite ascii-text editor, you can use it.
