Getting Started with Building Websites

Now that you have a basic understanding of how the internet works, let's explore the tools you need to start building your own website.

1. IDE (Integrated Development Environment):

An IDE is like a digital workspace for building websites. One popular choice is Visual Studio Code (VSCode). It's a free, open-source code editor with features like syntax highlighting, code completion, and a built-in terminal. You can download it here.

2. Version Control with Git:

Git is a version control system that helps you track changes in your code. It's like a time machine for your project, allowing you to go back to previous states if needed. Install Git from here. You can use Git in your command line or integrate it with your IDE.

3. GitHub Account:

GitHub is a platform that hosts your Git repositories online. It's an excellent place to store your code, collaborate with others, and showcase your projects. Create a GitHub account here.

These tools form the foundation of web development, enabling you to write, manage, and collaborate on your code effectively. With VSCode, Git, and a GitHub account, you're ready to embark on your journey of creating websites.
