Where to do my project?

1

Hello, recently I finished the Front End sections and I will do the projects, I did the Responsive Web Design projects in codepen, I had planned to do the Front End projects there too because I can use React and Redux there.

but I would like to do the project in a “real” environment, I don’t know if codepen is only good for small projects or for studying.

I downloaded npm and Visual Studio then look for a tutorial to create a project using React and Redux, I would like to know if there is another way to do it.

Codepen isn’t that great for large projects. I use visual studio code for work, and it gets the job done.

Hi @angelocraft551 !

Welcome to the forum!

I think codepen works really well for small projects built with HTML, CSS and vanilla JS.
But I don’t think works that well for react projects.

The pens don’t support multiple files and with real world react projects you will have multiple files and multiple components to work with.

I think that is is a good start.
I too use Visual Studio Code for work.
Some of my colleagues use WebStorm or other editors.
It all boils down to personal choice.

I think the advantage of building out the projects locally it that you will also learn the basics of git and github as well as hosting a project for the first time.
freeCodeCamp has great videos and articles on how to get started with that too.

Hope that helps!

can i ask you how you got a job? i just graduated and ive been getting really upsret not getting a job or even an internship. I figured id ask bc you said at your job so im trying to figure out if you were a wizard or just someone like me who sucks at coding when you got out of school. Generally the people im meeting who have jobs arent the ones like me who suck at coding
