Lets say I had a laptop without a wireless card, homies. Or any kind of Ethernet port/internet driver, period. And let’s say I wanted to do some coding on aforementioned laptop. I know how to get a text editor on there. But I’d like to have access to a reference for HTML, CSS, and Javascript - something like W3Schools.com or DevDocs.io.
I know DevDocs is meant to be used offline but it requires having a browser that connects to the internet so you can add it to your browser’s cache, right? If I’m taking a USB stick to a laptop that has no wireless card, how do I move it, or something like it? And then how do I access it?
Same goes for FreeCodeCamp offline - I know there’s a github repository, but once I download the repository how do I open it up like I would if I was accessing it on the web using a browser? Apologies for the extreme n00b questions, y’all. Thanks in advance!
Lukashanak - I just install the “noinst zip” file and unpack all files onto my usb flash drive? And then I can just use that version of httrack to download those pages/directories onto my flash drive, which I can then use on the laptop without internet access?
Tough problem, took a tour of the internet and so far nothing, the closest solution would be dasht https://github.com/sunaku/dasht but that’s for linux.
There is a Windows and Linux version of Dash called Zeal and Velocity, they both use Dash’s docsets.
An alternative solution, since you have USB on the laptop, is a USB wireless adapter. And yet another alternative is finding out how to run Linux on a USB stick (something like Live USB but with persistent storage) and just run that USB stick on any computer with or without internet.
Yes, that’s exactly how it works HTTrack copier download full website, with full code of the website ( you can chose, if u want to mirror links on the site you are downloading. It’s on you, what do you want. On windows it’s easy, on Linux you have to do in terminal, but it’s easy there too) When the page is downloaded, just copy file to your USB, copy to your notebook without internet connection. Then open file index.html in 1. directory and you can browse anywhere, anytime, without the internet connection ! I have downloaded full page of w3schools.com and much other websites
PS: I am sorry for so late reaction to your comment, I forget…
