CodePen is great tool for writing code with minimal hassle. It's basically an online text editor that allows you to write HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with no setup. And it's FREE! And you don't even really have to sign up. You can't save your work, if you don't sign up, but still, if you just want to start playing around, you can do it easily.
Go to codepen.io
I'd suggest you sign up, but you can just click the Start Coding button.
The coding space will open and you're ready to start writing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
As you write your code you'll see the output display in the white space automatically.
There are lots of other great features. You can easily include CSS and JavaScript libraries. You can share links to your 'pen'. You can download all of your code. You can change the layout of the coding space and display space. And I'm sure there are tons more cool things you can do that I'm forgetting or haven't discovered yet.
