Hello,
As I almost finished my lessons for C# I started my html/css courses so the webforms(MVC soon) I create would be more complete.My professor uses simple notepad while I learn the syntax etc not all changes I make in notepad for the CSS file appear in the HTML page.

For example:

CSS

body {
   font-family:Arial,Helvettica,sans-serif;
   background-color:#333333;
}

While the font changes ,the body backround doesn't change.This happens in all browsers except edge which doesn't even change the font.So should I use an IDE or stick with notepad ?

Thank you

Use Visual Studio. You'll know all the difference else try searching for the features in google.

I ll try notepad++ since probably it had something to do with encoding option because with notepad++ the changes work.
