Building Websites With HTML, CSS, and JavaScript: Getting Started

Tools

The following tools help make easier to work with sample code.

• git: A tool for managing source code
• Visual Studio Code: A source code editor
• Live Server: A simple web server utility for Visual Studio Code
• Echo Post: A simple Node.js server utility that displays post data.

Setup

If you installed git you can clone the code to your machine, or download a ZIP of all the files directly.

Download the ZIP from this location, or run the following git command to clone the files to your machine:

git clone https://github.com/craigshoemaker/html-css-javascript-getting-started

• Once the files are on your machine, open the html-css-javascript-getting-started folder in Visual Studio Code.

• With the files open in Visual Studio Code, press the Go Live button at the bottom of the window to launch the files with Live Server.
