Setting up Your Development Environment

Getting Started · Lesson 5 ·


For any task at hand, it helps to have the right tools for it. While you can code in a simple text editor, it is best to use an editor that is more suited for writing code. We use Sublime Text 3 in the course, but you can use any editor you prefer like Visual Studio Code, Atom, WebStorm, etc. We also recommend you install the Google Chrome Browser.
