**REMOVE:** With the exception of _index.md, the module folders and filenames should be changed to better reflect their content, i.e. 1_Planning as the folder and 11_HowToBegin as the first submodule. Changing the "weight" value of the header is ultimately what reflects the order the modules are presented.

#### Example Content Guidance

# Set Up Your Workspace
AWS Cloud9 is a cloud-based integrated development environment (IDE) that lets you write, run, and debug your code with just a browser. It includes a code editor, debugger, and terminal. Cloud9 comes prepackaged with essential tools for popular programming languages, including JavaScript, Python, PHP, and more, so you don’t need to install files or configure your laptop for this workshop.

We will use Amazon Cloud9 to access our AWS accounts via the AWS CLI in this Workshop. There are a few steps to complete to set this up

    Create a new Cloud9 IDE environment
    Create an IAM role for your workspace
    Attach the IAM role to your workspace
    Configure workshop specific requirements


### Create a new Cloud9 IDE environment <!-- MODIFY THIS SUBHEADING -->

    Within the AWS console, use the region drop list to select us-east-1 (N. Virginia). This will ensure the workshop script provisions the resources in this same region..

    Navigate to the Cloud9 console or just search for it under the AWS console services menu.

    Click the Create environment button

    For the name use circleci-workshop, then click Next step

    Select the default instance type t2.micro

    Leave all the other settings as default and click Next step followed by Create environment

Info: This will take about 1-2 minutes to provision
