Tools for Web Development

This section covers the tools you will need to start your web development journey.

The two main tools you will need to follow along:

1. A Web Browser
2. A Text/Code Editor

Check the previous section if you still need to download a web browser

You can use a code editor of your choice, but I will be using Sublime Text.

Some editors for your consideration:

ATOM

Atom is made by GitHub and you can download it from the application's website.

NOTEPAD++

Notepad++ can be downloaded from the application download page.

Another tool that will be useful to you is the Browser Developer tools that's available in modern Desktop Browsers. If you have a Modern Browser installed (Firefox or Chrome), this is will be available to you.

The Developer Tools can be accessed in Firefox and Chrome Browsers using Ctrl + Shift + I (for Windows OS) and Option + Command + I (for macOS).
