Development Foundations
The essentials of development begin by understanding the need for tools and equipment. Illustrated are the core components you’ll need for a smooth entry into coding, collaboration, and project creation.
OS
- WSL for Windows
- MacOS for Apple
- Linux/KASM for Chromebook
- Tool compatibility
Tools Setup
Coders require a cyber understand of linux, scripts, and packages to enable devlopment of JavaScript, Python, Java, Jupyter Notebooks, and more. Installing tools on a linux OS is a standard for developers throughout the world.
VSCode

- Build and test
- Debug
- Commit changes
Code Editor
Writing code starts in an editor. VS Code and its extensions streamline the software development process, enabling the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC).
GitHub
- Manage repositories
- Commit and push changes
- Collaborate with pull requests
Version Control
The GitHub cloud allows developers to set up repositories to store code. This enables developers to share code and collaborate on projects.
GitHub Pages
