Last Updated: January 23, 2024

1) CODE EDITOR

Download and install VSCode – A popular free code editor.

If you don’t like VSCode – Here’s a list of free code editors that you can check out.
In fact, any text editor will do. Even Notepad.

2) LOCAL HTTP SERVER

Not really required, can open HTML files directly in browsers.

But better to start early, setup your own local HTTP server for testing.
An easy way is to download and install XAMPP.
Optional –
- XAMPP control panel > Config (for Apache) > httpd.conf
- Search for DocumentRoot > Change both DocumentRoot "PATH/SOMEWHERE" and <Directory "PATH/SOMEWHERE"> to another folder of your choice.

3) YOUR FIRST WEBPAGE

Create index.html in your DocumentRoot.
Add one line – <h1>Hello World</h1>
XAMPP control panel > Start Apache.
