2 Useful tools for coding

In this article, I’m going to talk about two useful tools for coding learners and professionals.

  • Codepen
  • Stack overflow

Codepen

CodePen is an online community for testing and showcasing user-created HTML, CSS and JavaScript code snippets. It functions as an online code editor and open-source learning environment, where developers can create code snippets, called "pens," and test them... Wikipedia

The codepen project editor is good for small front-end code snippets and testing, it's not recommended for large projects,
but it's cool for beginners. It's also useful when you are learning something and want to test it, or want to share small snippets or techniques with others, or want to test a part of a big project and see how it works.

Stack overflow

Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It is a privately-held website, the flagship site of the Stack Exchange Network, created in 2008 by Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky. It features questions and answers on a wide range of topics in computer programming...Wikipedia

Stack overflow is a great question and answer site
and also one of the best. I recommend that you use it during learning, but when you are in any question and answer site you shouldn't rely on them, you ask when you have searched for the question and didn't find any helpful results, so asking on these sites are the last thing you can think about.
