Setup
Bring a laptop and charger. Try these steps before the meeting so we can spend the hour writing code. If you get stuck, come anyway and we can help you set things up.
Before Week 1
We need an editor to write code and a browser to see what it does. We'll use VS Code as the editor.
- Download Visual Studio Code for your computer and install it. Open it once to make sure it works.
- Create a folder called
practice-page, somewhere you can find it again. Documents is fine. - In VS Code, open File > Open Folder and select
practice-page. - Save avatar.svg in that folder. If the link opens the picture, use your browser's Save As option. Keep the filename
avatar.svg.
This picture is the only file you need before Week 1. We will create the HTML and CSS files during the meeting. You can use your usual browser to open the page.
