Right! Sometimes quitting is the smartest move. You will, however, need Git. I suppose getting rid of instantwp and wamp would be good.

the first is not working and the second is difficult to set

Yes. Totally necessary. Github is a skill that will help definitely help you work with a team of developers. It is also a way to have your code backed up somewhere besides a fragile laptop.

I just finished installing Fedora 32 on a (year 2011) 64 bit Macbook and it works better than new! Apple was no longer supporting whatever version of OSx, so someone gave it up for recycling :slight_smile: , and I took the opportunity to test out the transmogrification.

is this an operating system?

50

Fedora is one of the various Linux distro, it’s strill Linux

As a starting point, if you want to go linux, WSL works well, or if you want the operating system, Ubuntu maybe

is this folder in vscode?

54

I keep my folders on the desktop.
When you open up vs code, you have the option to open a folder and add it to the workspace.

Since you are new to vs code, you could look at the docs or watch this video on how to get setup.

56

You will run your commands in the terminal.
In the video, it will show you how to add the folder to vs code and open up the terminal.

You will write your commands right next to the project name like this.

This would also be a good time to add your files in the folder if you haven’t done so already.

Make sure the files end in either .html, .css. or .js

59

When i created that folder, i added documents inside. do i need to remove those?

where do i add the .html.
do i have to put doc type tags and html tags in the html document?

60

The only documents you should have are the ones for the project. (html docs, js docs, css docs)

For your html files, they need to end in .html
For javascript files, they need to end in .js
For css files, they need to end in .css

The computer needs to know what types of files it is dealing with.

For example, tribute-page.js tells the computer it is a javascript file.
Then you will put all of your javascript in that file.

tribute-page.html would be your html file
tribute-page.css would be your css file

Yes. It is called a boilerplate.

This is a good one to get started.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
  
</body>
</html>

There is also a vs code boilerplate shortcut but I don’t know the one for windows. But you can google that :grinning:
