Hi there!

Are you just starting out on your journey to learn how to develop websites? If so, then you might be wondering what tools you should use to get started. One tool that I highly recommend is Visual Studio Code, or VS Code for short.

VS Code is a free, open-source code editor that is available on all platforms (Windows, Mac, and Linux). It's packed full of features that can help you write and debug code more efficiently, including an integrated terminal, an advanced code editor with syntax highlighting and code completion, and a powerful debugger.

But the best part about VS Code is its extensibility. There are thousands of free extensions available in the VS Code marketplace that can help you customize the editor to meet your specific needs. For example, if you are learning to develop websites with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, you can install extensions that provide syntax highlighting and code completion for these languages, as well as tools for testing and debugging your code.

Getting started with VS Code is super easy. Just head over to the official website (code.visualstudio.com) and download and install the editor on your computer. Once it's installed, you can create a new project by clicking on the "File" menu and selecting "New Folder." From there, you can create new files by right-clicking on the folder and selecting "New File."

Now it's time to start coding! Simply open a file in the editor and begin writing your code. You can use the built-in features of VS Code, such as syntax highlighting and code completion, to help you write code more efficiently. When you're ready to test your code, you can use the built-in terminal or debugger to run your code and identify any errors.

So there you have it! VS Code is a great tool to use while you're learning how to develop websites. It's powerful, feature-rich, and can be customized to meet your specific needs. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, give VS Code a try and see how it can help you on your journey to becoming a web developer
