Tools I Use

GitHub

Every developer likely knows what GitHub is. While many might not have a use for it, GitHub is a popular and widely used Git repository hosting tool that makes it easy to set up and deploy repositories and collaborate on those repos with a team large or small.

CodePen

CodePen is a user friendly code playgfround that allows developers to test and tweak their own HTML, CSS, and JS code (among others) and can also be a great place to explore other projects or code snippets created by other devs. It's a great tool for sharing and discovering new ideas with all the necessary code included.

SASS

SASS, previously discussed and used in this class, is an extension of CSS that allows for more logical syntax in CSS files and also gives developers the ability to use variables, nested rules, and loops to give their site a more complex design.

Bootstrap

Bootstrap is a very powerful frontend tool that has predefined systems in place that make implementing neat designs a breeze, even for newer developers. These designs are customizable and gie users the ability to build on top of what Bootstrap has in place. This tool is especially useful for grid and card layouts.

Summary

There are numerous tools that many web developers and designers use on a daily basis, and this brief list only scratches the surface.
