Mozilla Launches Thimble, A Web-Based Code Editor For Teaching HTML and CSS. Mozilla, the non-profit organization behind the popular Firefox browser, just announced the launch of Thimble, its latest project to teach more users how to build their own web pages.
Thimble, which is part of Mozilla’s recently launched Webmaker project, is meant to help novice users write and edit basic HTML and CSS right in a web-based code editor. The service features instant previews and also lets its users host their finished pages on a Webmaker domain with just one click. Users can start from scratch or choose one of over a dozen projects and learn how to code them by hand.

There is a traditional code editor on the left and you can see the instant preview on the right. Classroom: Basic Site Layout and Navigation in Dreamweaver.
