Top tips
Stay up to date
Always try to stay up to date with technological trends by
Technology reading articles and popular technology news websites.
This will reinforce your learning of modern and trending

Starter Pack technologies.

Software Documentation
When working through the technical and practical content,
review the documentation of the software we will be using.

Github
We will be using Github as a repository for our source code.
This will make it a lot easier to share code for the practical
content we will be doing. So be sure to familiarise yourself with
the platform.

Code Editor
For the Web Development part of this course, you will need a
code editor tool. For this course we will be using ATOM. You can
download the software at atom.io – the software is compatible
for both Windows and Mac systems.

Mobile Code Editor


In the event that you do not have access to a laptop or PC,
consider downloading a mobile app code editor tool. Acode is
a popular code editing tool for Android devices.

File Extensions
It is important to follow best-practise when naming the files
associated with your website. For example, HTML files must
have an extension of .html appended at the end. Similarly, CSS
files must have the keyword .css appended at the end.
Requirement Analysis
For personal projects, it is always best to gather and
process the requirements of your website before you start
development. These requirements will drive which features
and functionality you will incorporate into your web design.

Technology Code Readability


When writing code in any language, you typically would like to
Starter Pack ensure that you indent your code where necessary, it improves
the readability of your code.

Stack Overflow
Stack Overflow is your go-to platform if your writing code
and for some reason it doesn’t work as you expect it to.
This happens more often than you know, even to the best
developers out there. Stack Overflow allows you to share your
code with other developers and enables you to find solutions
to issues similar to the ones you may be experiencing.
Technical Requirements
Reputable Sources
Module 3 and 4 are quite technical. You will To improve your understanding of the theoretical concepts,
need a scripting tool to write code. always try to read up on reputable technology news platforms
or peer-reviewed journal articles and book.

I recommend any of the following tools for


scripting HTML and CSS:

• ATOM
• Sublime Text 3
• Microsoft Visual Studio Code

Create a Github account to pull code from


the repository.
Install Justinmind for prototyping.
