![]() Sublime Text is a developer go to when it comes to writing code, with ATOM being a close second. Technically, you can write HTML in any kind of word processor but there are two programs that’ll make you feel a little more suave and like you’re doing this for real. I now understand what HTML means, but where exactly am I supposed to write it? How do I get to view it locally? And once I’m done, how do I get it to become an actual website? But here, safe behind my screen there is no-one to judge me. I call this section the ‘stupid’ questions because it holds the answers to things I was a little afraid to ask. HTML aka Hyper Text Markup Language, is the computer language that defines the structure and presentation of raw text, providing a logical way to structure content for web pages." Here’s an overview of what is in today’s entry: I’ll also play about with the idea of a blog called ‘The Food Store’, and will be my starting point. This offensive thought has led me to the plan of building a personal website, consisting of the standard website material you see these days of young professionals. It's clear that professionals have a need for it, for example there are lots of Designers who don’t know how to code but need an online portfolio to show their work. ![]() These days I guess it’s kind of horrific not to have your own personal website, right? "So, I have decided my end goal is going to be, queue drum roll please, my very own website! I bet you weren’t expecting that one after learning I am teaching myself HTML and CSS." Having something tangible that I can build week by week and share with you to show my progress and continue to (hopefully) inspire, is ideal really. I figured I’d start with stating my end goal, it’s all good and well my saying I’m going to learn but if there is no ongoing work-in-progress, I could just be copy pasting this for all you know. One challenge I found with writing this article for you was how to format it to keep the mass of you engaged, whether you’re learning with me or just interested in my journey. You’ll be proud to know I stuck to my four hours a week goal, and even found that after two hours I had enough for a post for you guys. The past couple of weeks have flown by, as they always do. And if that isn’t a motivator, I don’t know what is. Incidentally, if you did want to move up to a full-fledged IDE that can compile, you can get Visual Studio for free in the form of Visual Studio Community Edition.It’s been two weeks since I announced to the world I'd be learning to code from scratch and documenting it all here on the internet.for everyone to see. (There’s no right editor/IDE - it’s very much a personal preference, so whichever one you like is the right one.) I’d suggest you try out both the editor suggested as well as VS Code / Atom and see which one you like best. It’s a code editor, nothing more.Ītom is made by the people from GitHub, and it’s designed as a “hackable” editor - that is, you can write your own extensions to the editor if there’s functionality you want/need but which doesn’t exist yet.īoth are based on Electron, which is written in JS, and both are free. VS Code will allow you to edit code written in a multitude of languages (including Python), but unlike Visual Studio it won’t compile executables. VS Code is made by Microsoft, and is kind of the “younger sibling” to the full-fledged Visual Studio IDE. Both are available cross-platform, so you can install them on Windows, Mac or Linux. If you want to try out another editing environment, then I personally like either Visual Studio Code or Atom. If you’re using Python, there’s already an editor included in the form of IDLE. I forgot I hadn’t responded to this part. I have installed Python 3.74 on my computer and could anyone recommend if I should install a text editor or an IDE (is an IDE too complicated for a beginner) and what is the best free one.
