It all starts with choose an IDE. If you're new to this space, then an IDE means Integrated Development Environment.
For simpler understanding, it is the ideal environment for coding or writing codes. And for this journey, I'll be using VS Code (personal preference).
After installing VS Code, I set it up using the following extensions;
✅ Auto close tag
✅ Auto rename tag
✅ Code snap
✅ Color Highlight
✅ Image Preview
✅ Live server
✅ IntelliSense for CSS class
✅ Path IntelliSense
✅ Prettier - Code formatter
✅ Pug beautify
And because I love how it looks, I'm using the bearded theme vivid black.
After setting up my coding environment, I mastered the HTML boiler plate.
Vs code prints out the boiler plate automatically once '!' and the 'enter' key is pressed. But to build muscle memory, it's important to master it from scratch.
As a mark up language, HTML is pretty easy to understand and flow with. From the heading tags, to the paragraphs, footer and the likes. We would be using these tags while we build projects.
I'm glad to announce that I'm properly setup to style styling web pages using CSS.
