Setup Guide for Beginners
A guide for absolute beginners on how to get started with their programming journey!
In this blogpost, I'll be telling you about some basic requirements to start coding
1. VsCode
VsCode is the most powerful and popular code editor used by everyone. It supports almost all major programming languages. It is simply the best and a must have for anyone starting out on their journey of programming.
2. Web Browsers
These browsers will help you access the World Wide Web, there are several other options to choose from but my personal recommendation would be any two out of these three.
3. GitHub Account
Github enables you to manage your code through their online platform. It also allows you to share your code with the world and also to decide whether you want to allow people to edit/add things to your own personal code. It functions almost like a bank where you can where you store your money, but the twist is you can share it with others and they can share it with you too.
But at the end of the day it is not an actual bank, it definitely is a code bank though and you should absolutely be using it.
4. Resources to Learn
These are just a few resources which can help you learn new things and also help you when you are stuck at any problem. Most of the time your question will already have been answered by someone, incase its not you can always ask your questions on these websites. Make sure your questions are straight to the point and you will be pointed to some resource to help you with your query.
5. HashNode
You know what makes a good developer? How do you showcase what you have learned and how good of a understanding you have about it? It's by documentation.
Hashnode is a good place to start documenting your journey and sharing your knowledge with a large community of millions. Also your future recruiter might notice you here 😉.
