Setting Up Your Development Environment
Before writing JavaScript code, you’ll need the right tools. Here's what you need to get started:
- Text Editor: Use editors like VS Code, Sublime Text, or Atom. VS Code is widely recommended due to its rich ecosystem and extensions.
- Web Browser: Modern browsers like Chrome or Firefox have built-in developer tools that let you inspect, debug, and experiment with JavaScript code.
- Node.js (Optional): If you plan to run JavaScript outside the browser or use frameworks like React, install Node.js from nodejs.org.
Tip: Install the Live Server extension in VS Code to auto-refresh your browser whenever you save an HTML/JS file.
