Don’t forget to read first the Part 1/5 Self-Taught Developer: How To Code Like A Pro 1/5–Best 5 Code Editors

Before you even start, make sure to download and set up a Code Editor, this will be the tool you can use to write code.

Sublime Text was widely use before VSCode but when VSCode came up and took the heart of every developer not just because of its nicely-look Interface but also because of its thousands of extensions or tools to choose that makes coding more efficient, easier, and more powerful. The most popular and also my recommendation would be VSCode.

These extensions are not just for having a good interface but will boost up your productivity and will save your life in the future, you wouldn’t want to spend your entire day looking for that missing bracket, writing codes could kill you and make you question your decisions in life haha

1 — Auto-Close Tag

Like Bracket Pair Colorizer mentioned below this too is a must, and it’s non-negotiable, coding is already hard and crazy, you probably don’t want to deal with finding errors just because of missing close tag <div></div>
