HTML & CSS Masterclass Tutorial

Comprehensive guide to modern HTML and CSS development.

Environment Setup

Before you start coding, you need to set up your digital workspace.

1. Code Editor

A code editor is where you will write your HTML and CSS. The industry standard is Visual Studio Code (VS Code), which is free, fast, and highly customizable.

2. Web Browser

You need a modern web browser to view your web pages. Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, or Safari are all excellent choices. They come with built-in "Developer Tools" that help you inspect and debug your code.

3. Extensions (Optional but recommended)

If you use VS Code, install the "Live Server" extension. It allows you to launch a local development server with a live reload feature, meaning your browser will automatically refresh every time you save your code!
