A Basic Setup for Web Development



"Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe." - Abraham Lincoln

+ I've been pleasantly surprised that web development is not overly taxing on system requirements. I'm still rocking a dual core 2010 MacBook Pro (albeit with 16 GB of RAM), and for these beginning stages I feel the machine is still an adequate partner for the road ahead.


+ I frequently do clean installs to start fresh and try new things. Here's the basic setup to kick off the Udacity Nanodegree and #100DaysOfCode reboot:

Notetaking: OneNote (prior Google Keep)

Text editor: VS Code (prior Atom)

Browser: FirefoxDeveloper Edition (prior Chrome)

Version control: Git and GitHub

Package manager: Homebrew

Terminal emulator: iTerm2 (prior Terminal.app)

+ Nothing fancy, and all available free of charge (thanks devs!).
