Hello everyone! 

Cloud9 was acquired by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and they closed down the legacy version of Cloud9 (c9.io), that I use in the lectures.

While you can sign up for the new AWS version of Cloud9, that is not something that we recommend as it requires a credit card to use the free trial and is not exactly beginner friendly.

Instead, we now recommend using a different cloud based IDE called, GoormIDE.
Goorm is a great IDE and is fairly similar to the legacy version of Cloud9 that I use in the video lectures.

Everything that I mentioned in the previous video, regarding the use of Cloud9, can also be applied to Goorm.

Our TA (Ian) has created a readme file that explains the signup and setup processes for Goorm.

Please go >>> here <<< to view signup and setup instructions.

Once you finish with the instructions, then you can continue with the next section in the course.


Need help?
Feel free to post in the Q&A or visit the #goorm-setup-help channel in our community discord server.


Please note, if you choose to install MySQL locally (explained in a later video), bear in mind that the mysql-ctl commands that I'll be using throughout the course do not apply to a local install of MySQL, they only work for GoormIDE.


Thanks,
Colt
